State Duma deputies are submitting proposals to tighten migration policy.
The Chairman of the Fair Russia – For Truth party, leader of the party faction in the State Duma, Sergey Mironov, sent a letter to the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Mishustin, urging support for the party’s initiatives to tighten migration policy.
In particular, he proposed to deport “all relatives, the entire clan of a migrant who has committed a crime” from Russia.
The letter states that Fair Russia – For Truth proposes to limit the allowable share of foreign workers to 5% of the total number of employed in each type of economic activity. Employment of migrants in taxi services, medical institutions, pharmacies, schools, and kindergartens should be completely banned.
The politician also suggested abolishing the patent system, claiming that “up to 70% of migrants work in the ‘gray zone’.”
The Chairman of Fair Russia – For Truth also proposed introducing an entry fee for foreigners arriving in Russia without a visa, which could be used for the deportation of migrants who have violated Russian laws.
At the same time, the parliamentarian did not explain who could replace doctors and medical workers who are migrants, the number of whom is very high in some regions.
