Russia to get tough on illegal immigration  

俄释放移民管理从紧信号 商务部吁重视劳务派遣

据商务部援引驻俄罗斯联邦经商参处消息，俄商业资讯日报5月27日报道，俄莫斯科内务局社会治安处处长克兹洛夫日前称，鉴于驱逐外国非法移民耗资过大，提议对所有入境者建立收费账户，预存相当于返程机票和人身保险费用的金额，在入境者合理离境时予以返还。

(ECNS) -- A Russian official suggested setting up personal accounts for foreigners entering Russia, said a report from the Economic and Commercial Counsellor's Office at the Chinese Embassy in Russia.

Deportation of illegal immigrants not only costs the government, but also triggers criminal incidents. The crime rate among illegal immigrants has increased by 42 percent in the first five months of this year, the report said.

In the accounts, fees for return tickets and personal insurance would be held for foreigners who come to Russia. When they leave the country, the fees would be returned.

A total of 17,832 illegal immigration cases occurred between January and May, and 1,078 undocumented foreign workers were deported.

Facing Russia's intent for a stricter immigration policy, the Ministry of Commerce has warned Chinese businesses to attach great importance to their laborers dispatched to Russia.
