"According to the Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza over 2 million Poles may have emigrated to find work in Western Europe since Poland joined the EU on May 1st, 2004. In July 2004 the Polish population was estimated to be 38.6 million. British demographers, such as Prof. David Coleman of Oxford University, say that the Poles are arriving in Britain in historic record numbers. “From one country in a very short space of time, it must be the largest influx we have ever seen,” Coleman says. Professor John Salt of University College London calls the phenomenon “unprecedented.”
