Since 2000, on the proposal from the government of the Philippines and the Migrant Rights International organisation, the countries united in UN have celebrated the 18th of December as the International Day of Migrants (originally: International Day of Solidarity with Migrants). This day was established on the anniversary of UN’s acceptance of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families (1990)2. Since 1914 the Catholic Church has celebrated Day of Emigrant, later renamed to Day of Migrant (Dies migra- toris), since 1990 to the World Day of Migrants and Refugees – according to the date stated locally, but in most cases on the second Sunday of January (in Poland some dio- ceses celebrate this day in May or June). The Pope’s addresses delivered on this occasion present elements of social science of the Church in this field3 . For example, the address of John Paul II from 9th January 2005 concerning integration among cultures, and the address of Benedict XVI from 14th January 2007 concerning the migrant family4. * Dr, History of Philosophy Department, John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. 1 See: DG EAC – Europejski Rok Dialogu Międzykulturowego (2008) – Migracja, http://www.intercul- turaldialogue2008.eu/415.0.html?&L=15, 04.12.2007; Zjednoczeni w różnorodności nie tylko w 2008 roku, Europejski Rok Dialogu Międzykulturowego 2008, Dyrekcja Generalna Zatrudnienie i Prawa Społeczne, http://ec.europa.eu/news/employment/071204_1_pl.htm, 04.12.2007; (DK): 2008 – Europejski Rok Dialogu Międzykulturowego, AKTUALNOŚCI, Departament Migracji w MPiPS, http://www.polacy.gov.pl/?1,2,167,200712, 05.01.2008. 2 Dlaczego ustanowiono Międzynarodowy Dzień Migranta, Fundacja Barka, http://www.barka.org.pl/ misja_anglia/miedzynarodowy_dzien_migranta.doc, 30.11.2006. 3 See: ORCZYKOWSKI A.: Prawa człowieka w Orędziach Ojca Świętego Jana Pawła II na Światowy Dzień Migranta, Parafia-internetowa.pl, 03.10.2006.

In Lisbon Strategy (2001) the European Council found as one of the priorities to maintain the economic growth and employment, together with protection of a European social model through eco- nomic immigration6. Thus, on 11th January 2005 the European Commission issued the Green Paper on EU approach to the management of economic migration, and the discussion over this document has been lively till today7. In 2005 the Green Paper on the Future of the European Migration Network (EMN) was issued. Between 27.10. and 12.11.2005 a huge wave of riots broke out in the suburbs of over 300 French towns and cities (and spread also to Germany and Belgium). The riots were caused by immi- grants residing in these areas. Two years after (26-28.11 2007) another wave of unrest took place, although this time of much limited range. In a number of countries, popu- list parties participated in the elections proclaiming slogans of limiting the inflow of immigrants. The EU member states, which in 2004 established restrictions to the free movement of persons and of services from the new member states, slowly stop being afraid of a Polish plumber or of a Romanian butcher; in turn, people in Great Britain and Ireland start being anxious about what will happen if Polish workers begin return- ing their homeland in large masses. These and other similar facts prove that migration is an everyday phenomenon considered by everyone as extremely important. As a problem which we know how to deal with, although it constitutes an element of our reality. We don’t know because we don’t understand it completely. As a phenomenon which is misunderstood, it may evoke opposite (or even am- bivalent) feelings. On one hand, it is desired, because it assures a number of tasks to be completed, even though there is usually a lack of people who would like to work, it also stimulates the economic growth and maintenance of “European social model” by means of taxes and contributions made to the local systems of social
