For the past two days, there has been an active discussion in the information space about the statements of the Minister of the Interior and. A. Kolokoltsev and his first deputy A.V. Kikot about new measures against foreign "experts" and their families, taken as part of further tightening of immigration legislation.
Here there is indeed something to discuss, and even something to rejoice in the hope. From an ideological point of view, it is important for the head of the department to make a public statement regarding many immigrant families that "it is impossible to live in the country, enjoy the benefits and opportunities of this country and in fact not pay taxes in any way." Everything is true: a tax on family members of migrant workers arriving in Russia is, in this context, of course a fair decision. But let's be honest and sincere: it will be much better for everyone if these immigrant families don't come at all, much less move to our country, stay at home and not create unnecessary problems for us and our country. At first that was exactly the idea. After all, we really don't need these women and children in such numbers, even with additional taxes. But such a government decision, unfortunately, is not under the authority of the Ministry of the Interior.
In addition, there is another problem related to the deportation of those family members from our country when they violate the immigration laws. Too human.
We have a system in relation to women and children, you see. In general, there remains a significant burden from foreign families on the local law enforcement and social systems, because despite all the existing problems, someone very influential still managed to encourage the opportunity for "valuable foreign experts" to continue to bring their families. But now at least it will not be completely free and they will try to force them to pay, although there are serious doubts in terms of practical implementation. But it's still better than nothing at all.
