The Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has called for more drastic efforts to counter illegal immigration.

“There is quite significant, I wouldsay, a very large number of foreigners with an uncertain legal status in our country, who, of course, violatethe immigration rules," Medvedev said at the Security Council session. Many of the foreigners do not pay taxes, exist outside state control, and “sink to the very bottom of the social structure” and even join criminal groups, he is quoted as saying on Interfax.

On Friday, Medvedev approved Russia’s migration concept to 2025, the head of the Federal Migration Service Konstantin Romodanovsky told reporters after the meeting. Within a couple of years a system of strict control of immigrants at the country’s border – both on entry and exit – will be set up.

It is also planned to extend the entry ban for foreign nationals who twice violate their period of stay on Russian territory.

“Currently, this period is limited to three years. We believe it should be increased up to five years, and in the event of a repeated and malicious violation, and a court ruling, it should be allowed to increase the entry ban up to 10 years," Romodanovsky said.

Speaking at the session, President Medvedev underlined that Russia’s migration policy should provide the economy with qualified labor force. First of all, it should be done by broadening opportunities for compatriots to move and settle in Russia permanently.

Commenting on the benefits of migrant inflow, he observed that to a large extent it compensated for natural population loss, stabilized the labor market. According to official data, about seven million immigrants came to Russia during the past 12 years.

Same old story told by governments to allow more immigration: (1) declining/low birth rate of citizens, and (2) helps the economy. Rarely, if ever, do they address that fact that peoples and cultures are NOT interchangeable. Once you destroy a culture (which, mind you, IS the plan of these Progressives and Zionists), it is GONE. You cannot pick up 100,000 Zulus and put them in Sweden, and suddenly they are good Swedes (with all the intelligence, productivity, culture, etc. associated with such). As such, any nation is insane to invite other races and religions into its lands, and expect things to actually improve for the native peoples. Europe and Russia is for white people, not Africans, Arabs, Chinese, Muslims of any race, etc. Even if the peoples are generally peaceful, like Chinese or Hindu Indians, they still will eventually change the indigineous culture if their numbers are allowed to ever exceed 5%-10%. I would rather live a little poorer in a white nation that has a solid culture and lower crime rate, than in a richer nation with no common culture, and an ever increasing crimes (including rapes on native women). This cycle is repeated in every white nation that has (by lying to its people about the "benefits" of non-white immigration) invited non-whites to settle...without exception! Time to end, and reverse, this suicidal cycle once and for all.

Immigrants are welcome but no Muslims, please. 02.05.2012 01:35

Asians of all kinds are for the most part, dependable and industrious immigrants as are Indians but; 

most Europeans would quietly agree that the EU social experiment with  Muslims has failed. Muslims have shown that they do not integrate into their host societies because they put their flawed morality before that of their hosts. Muslim societies are also predatory and are the source of  most drug running and human slavery. Although Muslims are greatly tolerated, they do not tolerate others. Muslims threaten pluralistic societies with violence and exploit the weak. 

Every body knows this but are too intimidated to say so.

are good Russians. There are a lot of Good Russians that seam to calm down once they get here, but alot are afraid Communism is going to kick in I think.  They love Drugs.  and Selling Hookers.. Kind of like the Pakistanis in England dating 12 year old girls.  Great message for Islam to be sending.  Maybe not 12 but they are young and treat them like slaves. They love Prostitution rings. yet Israel is the Problem. ok. Same with a lot of Russians they love Prostitution Rings.  I have read the Bible Never seen that part.
