Summary/Abstract: Demography, migration, uneven distribution of population and aging societies of the Western world are influencing the politics of the 21st century. Poland is no exception and its economy is closely tied to its demography. Since joining the European Union Poland has faced great unemployment and emigration as well as (more recently) employment shortages and stimulated migration. This paper is aiming to explain the doctrinal foundations of fundamental legal acts that have shaped Polish migration politics toward pre-war Polish eastern land and the former USSR. An explanation will be delivered by the usage of the postcolonial perspective provided by Ładykowski to analyze the act on the Polish Card and demopolitical perspective to analyze the act on the special status of Ukrainians in Poland.
