An “ordinary” life with an unauthorized legal status. Different life strategies of Polish undocumented immigrants in the United States – a case study of Strzyżów District

Summary/Abstract: The main aim of this paper is an analysis of life strategies undertaken by Polish undocumented immigrants in the United States. The attention is paid to different unlawful activities: ways of unauthorized entry into the U.S. territory, functioning in this country with undocumented status, as well as illegal methods of legalizing their status. The analysis was carried out on the basis of the micro-histories of several families from the Province of Podkarpacie. The text aims to analyze the lives of undocumented migrants in order to show that, paradoxically, they are very similar to the methods of functioning of other host society members.
