The article aims to present the attitude of the Polish society towards the phenomenon of migration, including the issue of approving people differing from Poland in terms of culture and ethnicity. The author outlines the phenomenon, characterises specificity of the country as one that is ethnically homogenous, indicates Poles’ migratory experience and the society’s acceptance of migratory trips, mainly for gainful employment. Finally, the author indicates what Poles’ standpoints are towards foreigners. This is illustrated with official statistical data and own surveys.
