A group of State Duma deputies from the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia will submit a bill for consideration that would restrict the right of labor migrants without Russian citizenship to bring their families to Russia. RIA Novosti reported.

«As the authors of the bill noted, this concerns low-skilled specialists, who are in Russia only on the basis of an employment contract or license, and who do not have other legal grounds for residing in the country, such as Russian citizenship. Exceptions will be made for family members of highly qualified foreign workers,» the statement says.

One of the initiators of the bill, Leonid Slutsky, told the media outlet that when they come to Russia, the relatives of employed foreigners live in compact enclaves, speak their own language, and treat local residents with disdain.

«There are frequent cases, when such migrants, who live in apartments, do not pay for housing and communal services, accumulate huge debts, which the owners are forced to deal with. All these problems must be eliminated and unskilled foreigners must be prohibited from bringing their families for the period of their employment. Arrive, work and go home. There should be no other conversation,» he said.
