What's so wrong about it? They are doing it basically because they can. They have a source of culturally similar people from much poorer neighboring countries: Ukraine and Belarus.
Plus i have to say, there are also many people who come without those permissions, and they are not illegals: they have right to work as people born in the ex-Polish territory - pre-1939 - having so-called Karta Polaka.

Uh, I absolutely didn't try to suggest that anything is wrong about it!... sorry if you got such an impression :/ I tried rewording my comment now, to hopefully better convey what I meant, trying to avoid using some words that I'm now guessing you maybe understood in some unintended way (?)

Ah no no that's fine, i didn't mean it. It' just that most people probably saw it as somehow bad news or something to criticize Poles about.

The report also contains a page on Poland specifically: https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/c3e35eec-en/1/2/5/28/ind...

though I warn you: it's a long article. I emphatically DON'T suggest changing the link in the original submission to this reader-sleepiness-inducing paper. The original submission is much easier to read, and I just wanted to make sure it's based on real source. I found the source via: http://www.nordiclabourjournal.org/nyheter/news-2019/article... which I found via quick googling.
A relevant quote about Poland that I managed to find in an attempt at quick skimming is in Chapter 1, section "Main findings", bullet point 5:
"For the second consecutive year, Poland was the top OECD destination for temporary labour migrants, with 1.1 million new authorisations delivered to non-EU workers and 21 000 intra-EU posted workers. The United States remained the second most popular destination, with 691 000 new temporary workers in 2017."
Sorry for not linking to the particular Chapter & Section, but deep linking on the particular site seems broken to me (?).
