But just for clarity, this is completely legal, isn't it? Polish people have the right to work in the EU, like all the other EU residents, or not?

Yes, but it may not bring enough goodwill for regulators to ignore other things they are doing which may be illegal which was the suggestion up-thread.

The playbook in the US is to argue that a factory will create US jobs. State and local governments are willing to play ball with the expectation of increased activity and taxes.

Building a plant on the US-Mexico border will not be seen as kindly if it's perceived that they are not using US labor.
