MOSCOW, Jan 18The influx of migrants to Russia will grow, even despite the restrictions due to the pandemic, and we need a modern unified system for collecting and recording information about them, said Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev. «Today we need not just to think, but decide how to form a unified system for collecting and recording information in this area. The Minister of Internal Affairs says that the system can freeze and collapse simply because it is not updated, it is old, no money is allocated for it. And naturally, all this is reflected in all categories of citizens — ours and foreigners,» he said at a meeting on improving the quality of public administration and the provision of public services in the field of migration.January 1, 09:09 Illegal labor migrants will be expelled from Russia All this, according to Medvedev, is due to the low level of information infrastructure in the field of migration. «Slowly, behind schedule, almost a year late, work is underway on a draft strategy for the integrated informatization of state management of migration processes. There is still no single digital platform that would contain information about foreign citizens and migration flows. The need for such a system is extremely important,» — he said. «Especially given the fact that the influx of migrants to our country, even despite the restrictions associated with the pandemic, will still grow,» Medvedev added. «There are serious questions about the quality of migration registration and state control over it. inspections often reveal serious violations in this area. People are far from always able to receive normal state services in the field of migration, high-quality medical care. There are still businesses that benefit from attracting cheap and disenfranchised foreign labor to our country,» Medvedev added.
