With the debate as to whether to crack down on illegal immigrants in the US rages, Poland has just made it much easier for foreign laborers to work. Citizens from Denmark, Austria, Belgium, and others can now work in Poland (and many other places) without work visas. This opening of the labor market is one of the free-trade, free labor principles of the European Free Trade Association of which Denmark is a part.
This article should be very interesting to those who are interested in our own foreign labor debate because it is a prime example of other countries making it easier to import labor. The idea is that with the lessening of controls on movement of labor, it will reduce the problem of immobility of labor and will make production more efficent.
Hope you enjoy!

According to the Economist, Denmark has suffered from labor shortage and skill scarcity. On the other hand, average real wage has robustly increased. Is it better to accept more immigrant? or not?
