Illegals asked to understand and forgive
Mr. Majumder himself is confident that all the troubles of Russia in the migration field are not even in the number of migrants, but in the shadow side of using their labor. In this regard, he sees a solution to the problem as extremely simple: the state must take and amnesty several million illegal immigrants working in the territory of the Russian Federation. According to Muhammad Amin Majumder, it is the massive permission to work in Russia for those immigrants who today are forced to do this, hiding from the regulatory authorities, will significantly increase deductions to the state budget and solve problems with labor shortages in the country.
The opinion of Mr. Majumder certainly deserves attention. Especially its part, in which he indirectly hints at the existence of a situation in which the illegal labor migration market in Russia is beneficial not so much for the migrants themselves, as for various kinds of services. Those services whose professional activity consists in accounting (non-accounting), registration (non-registration) of immigrants who want to find a job in Russia or take a course. In other words, the president of the Federation of Migrants of the Russian Federation, indicates a possible way to stop those corruption manifestations that occur in government agencies working with the migration environment.
On the one hand, it is true that it is at least naive to believe that illegal migration in Russia is the machinations of migrants themselves, who want to be in the Russian Federation exclusively illegally. But Majumder’s proposal has a downside. He offers all those immigrants who are currently in Russia and carry out labor activities on an illegal basis, amnesty - that is, to abandon the legitimate claims against these gentlemen, in fact, violating the law. The amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants, an example against which Majumder considers the option of systematic amnesties in the United States of America, can be an indirect confirmation of Russia's readiness to “understand and forgive” both current illegal immigrants and those who, following the amnesty, will certainly pull to the Russian Federation.
The very essence of the proposed amnesty is twofold. The front side is to put a barrier to corrupt interests of some employees of the inspection services (the same FMS, for example) and businessmen, many of whom are used to actually using slave labor of illegal immigrants, at any time sending raids on their construction sites, underground workshops and farms. The flip side is a signal for all, without exception, who want to come to Russia: they say, we ourselves are not aware of how many migrants we need for complete economic happiness, but come all - perekantyutsya godok-another as an average illegal, gulping down the "hospitality" of business representatives , well, and then for all your experiences at the beginning, we will reward you with another amnesty ... You will work absolutely legally, and absolutely legally deduct money to the state budget.
I do not really want to make pessimistic forecasts in this regard, but under the circumstances, it is often the flip side of Mr. Majumder’s proposal that will most often appear. Maybe the president of the Federation of Migrants of Russia (FMR), and wants the best. Even with certainty, we can say that this is exactly what she wants ... But only if the state suddenly decides to take the idea of the president of the FMR as a basis, then everything will turn out, most likely, not as better, but as always ...
After all, the problem with illegal immigrants and their hypothetical amnesty stumbles exactly on the corruption component. Recent examples suggest that there are certain structures in our country that managed to establish a serious business during illegal (specifically illegal) migration. After all, who is illegal? In fact, this is the most common slave ... His fate is in the hands of those who are willing to make money on this person. And as soon as an illegal immigrant is amnestied and transformed into a legally working immigrant, how can someone lose a feeder.
There are statistics according to which one economic worker (janitor, janitor) of structures under state control in such large cities of Russia as St. Petersburg and Moscow is allocated from 28 to 52 thousand rubles per month (for wages, inventory, repair of equipment, detergents, etc.). The janitors and cleaners themselves, the overwhelming number of whom are illegals, receive about 15 thousand rubles (at best) in their hands in the same cities. It turns out that on a single illegal immigrant a certain “uncle from the housing department” can earn from 14 to 37 thousand rubles a month! And maybe all 40-50 of thousands, if at the end of the month, comrades from the labor-control services suddenly descend on the desk. And if there are a million or a couple of millions of such illegal immigrants in a city, then it turns out that the shadow side of using their labor may well be estimated at several tens or even hundreds of billions of rubles ... The amount is enormous.
Proceeding from this, one can say that the very Russian-Russian lobby, promoting the idea of “specific control” of illegal migration, will clearly be against amnesty. Depriving oneself with one’s own hands of an excellent feeder is a pipe! .. Even if the federal authorities carry out an amnesty for illegal immigrants to one degree or another, then it will be carried out by the hands of those who are suspected of frauds with the documents regulating the status of a migrant worker. It turns out that it will extinguish the fire with gasoline ... The result is seen in advance: in order to get rid of the status of illegal, you will need to put someone’s coveted envelope back at the right time at the right time. So it is practiced now. What, then, is innovation? ..
But, speaking about the interest in the presence of illegal migrant workers on the part of corrupt individuals, we must not forget that not every illegal alien himself will be ready to give up his dubious status. But what about slave labor? But what about the complete lack of social guarantees? It does not scare many. It does not frighten because it is impossible to legalize what they are doing in Russia for objective reasons. After all, not all the same millions of illegal immigrants sweep the streets or lay paving slabs. There are those who prefer to earn a living by activities that, to put it mildly, are not encouraged by Russian legislation. And if even this category of citizens gives the green light for living and “labor” in the Russian Federation, then our country will systematically slide to a situation that today manifests itself in a number of European countries. This situation is connected with the layering of one crime on another. Only in our version this whole puff pie will also be generously “decorated” with a corrupt “cream”.
In general, summing up, it is safe to say that the amnesty for illegal guest workers in Russia is an event that, if it has positive moments, then under current conditions it’s extremely difficult to get to the bottom of a negative husk for them. And if so, then the migration problem in the country should be solved by other methods. Although no matter what method you start with, anyway, the decision will rest on the blank wall of bureaucratic corruption, and finding this nut in our country is far more difficult than making it necessary to comply with the Russian laws of all guest workers combined.
PS
On the website of the FMS of Russia systematically appears information about the conduct of the so-called operational preventive measures under the general title "Illegal Migrant". For February, the department reports a large-scale audit in the Urals (in the Sverdlovsk region). In particular, it is reported that in just a week the audit has touched 200 employers who use the work of guest workers. During the events, mass violations were established, which led to sanctions. 17 foreigners were administratively expelled from the country outside the Russian Federation, 1 was deported, 643 work permits were canceled, the total amount of fines amounted to 970,6 thousand rubles, of which only 638,3 thousand were recovered.
It should be noted that administrative expulsion differs from deportation. Deportation and expulsion under administrative procedure are distinguished by the fact that deportation is a variant of protection measures that are exclusively applied to foreign citizens in cases provided for by Russian law in the interests of national security, public welfare, and health. Administrative expulsion is a measure of administrative punishment, it is applied exclusively by a court decision to foreign citizens and stateless persons for an administrative offense committed.
In addition, a criminal case was initiated under Art. 327 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation: “Forgery, production or sale of forged documents, state awards, stamps, seals, forms”.
Such raids by the FMS and preventive measures are carried out though regularly, but so far they do not lead to the normalization of the migration field in the country. The number of those who arrived in Russia, for example, from the republics of Central Asia, is sometimes ten times higher than the number of those who were administratively expelled or deported and those who left back voluntarily ...
