| Given the huge wealth gap between east and west and the potency of the immigration issue in west European politics, the Siemiatycze commuters, who have seldom had any problems in Brussels, are unwittingly the focus of one of the hottest issues arising from Europe's unification - cheap, illegal, migrant labour. |
| Away from the lurid headlines about legions of benefit scroungers and armies of semi-criminal eastern Europeans ransacking the west's generous welfare systems, the fact is that the phenomenon of the Polish underclass servicing the west European upper crust has been going on for a long time and is unlikely to change very much very soon. |
