Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to analyze the impact of migration processes in Poland on the state’s activity in the field of public safety and order protection. It will present changes in the Polish migration policy in the context of security, including legal and institutional ones. The course of the migration processes taking place in Poland will be analyzed. The article proposes a thesis that the increased importance of security in Poland’s migration policy was not proportional to the threat posed by participants in migration movements. In the course of the research process, the thesis assumed in the introduction was confirmed. It was indicated that it was the intersubjective approach to the migration processes of political actors that contributed to the increased importance of security in the field of migration, and not real threats.
