Kadyrov urged not to incite hatred of migrants
In Russia, a situation is rapidly developing related to the tightening of migration policy. Some measures taken are disappointed. One gets the impression that someone purposefully encounters Russia with neighboring fraternal regions. The head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov wrote about this in his TG channel.
 
According to him, the problem arose due to the lack of timely monitoring of migrants, and the mass expulsion of citizens cannot be solved.
 
“If you change the migration policy, it’s not in such an overwhelming way when they are frantically rushed to all non -named ones - whoever comes across a hand. They are delayed without any ceremonies, and recently these perfection are very strict, ”Kadyrov noted. He urged to leave “medieval approaches” and deal with a point solution to the issue.
 
The head of Chechnya believes that State Duma deputies are incurring hatred of migrants, and accused the parliament of inefficiency.
 
“It must be understood that among them there are both violators of the law and law -abiding, and the latter are much more. This is important. Okay, we will drive away today's migrants through total bullying and purges, but tomorrow others will come from other states, and who will guarantee that they will be better? ”Kadyrov wondered.
 
Recently, the State Duma was amended, according to which foreign citizenship will become an aggravating circumstance in the commission of a crime.
