Sergey Ferminov: Labor migration should not become a method of naturalization.
The Russian Interior Ministry has proposed legislatively limiting the ability of migrant workers to bring non-working relatives into the country. The new rules establish additional payments for children and proof of income for each family member. According to the head of the Ministry of Interior, Vladimir Kolokoltsev, since last year the number of unemployed and uneducated family members of migrant workers in Russia has decreased by 20%. Russian senator from the Leningrad region Sergei Ferminov responded to the initiative.
As Perminov said in an interview with Channel 47 on November 11, work continues at the federal level to improve immigration legislation. Its main task is to reduce the risks associated with the stay of foreign citizens in Russia.
Legislators, along with law enforcement authorities, have already taken a series of steps in this area.
"It is clear that such a law will further reduce the number of those who consider work activity a component of their naturalization," the senator noted.
He added that the Ministry of the Interior seeks to separate labor migration and resettlement movements, and to create a separate legal regime for foreign citizens who come to Russia to work.
"Of course someone might be tempted to enter the shadow sector. But the state makes it as clear as possible that this path will be associated with very serious negative consequences. A foreign worker should be interested in the most transparent regime of his stay, because otherwise he may remain not only without profits, but also end up in a regime of controlled people", concluded Sergey Paraminov.
