Abstract

Undesirable – French Attitudes Towards Polish Immigration in the Years 1930-1944 Polish historical literature referring to migrations to France is dominated by issues of emigrants’ everyday life and activities. The issue of politics and the legal approach of the French state towards migrants has been hitherto treated marginally. This article discusses the topic of Polish migrants adapting to their new situation and living in France through the perspective of decrees and circulars of the French state regulating the status of migrants.Sources from the French archives indicate that France tightened their laws concerning immigrants in 1930s, including allowing for the establishment of internment camps for “undesirable” foreigners.
