PROPOSAL TO DEFINE THE TERM "MIGRATION" - Migration can be described as a process of subjective and material change, involving the permanent or temporary movement of a person (this is the subjective element) in order to change the environment and living conditions of that person, which can take a variety of forms (e.g. an economic objective, a political objective, a military objective, or an objective in the form of improving the conditions of a person's living environment) (this is the objective element). - Foreign National - Immigrant - Foreigner - Emigrant - Refugee - IMMIGRATION, therefore, is • The arrival of persons from abroad for the purpose of settlement (permanent residence) or temporary residence. - EMIGRANT • means a person going abroad to settle (live permanently) or for temporary residence. - REFUGEE • in the Polish legal system is understood in accordance with the definition contained in the 1951 Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and the 1967 New York Protocol. - FOREGINER • the term, means a citizen of a foreign country otherwise known as a foreign national, i.e. a person who does not have the nationality of the country in which he or she resides. - In Poland, it is generally accepted that 'foreigner' and 'foreign national' are synonyms for a person who is not a citizen (resident) of a particular country Crime Recorded In Poland 2013-2022 YEAR 2013 2014 IN ABSOLUTE FIGURES 992 978 867 855 YEAR IN ABSOLUTE FIGURES 799 799 748 459 753 963 768 049 796 557 765 408 820 846 862 992 992 978 867 855 799 799 748 459 753 963 768 049 796 557 765 408 820 846 862 992 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Foreigners In Poland - Ukraine - 244.200 persons, - Belarus - 28.800, - Germany - 20.500 - Russia - 12.700 - Vietnam – 10.900, - India - 8.500, - Italy - 8.500 - However, in 2020, the largest increase among foreigners settling in Poland concerned citizens of Ukraine - by 29.4 thousand people, Belarus by 3.2 thousand, Georgia - by 2.4 thousand, Moldova - by 1.2 thousand, South Korea - by 0.5 thousand.

This coincides with the general migration trend in Poland, where people from Ukraine, Belarus and Georgia are at the forefront of these statistics.
