In a fresh blow to Russia's beleaguered immigrant community, migration officials in Moscow have toughened their stance by arresting and deporting those caught running afoul of immigration requirements.

More than 2,600 foreign nationals were detained in Moscow last month for violating immigration laws, the Federal Migration Service announced this week. Officials said most of those arrested had entered the country illegally, and the majority appeared to come from the CIS, including the Central Asian states of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan.

The service teamed up with law enforcement for a sting operation codenamed “Illegal-2012” from May 10-31. Spokeswoman Zalina Kornilova said police and immigration officials checked food production facilities, including meat processing plants and restaurants, as well as clothing stores, factories, construction sites, residences and industries in search of violators. About 500 people have been deported in the operation, and fines levied of 20.7 million rubles ($600,000).

Some immigration experts said, however, that the sting operation was a “poor substitute for badlyneeded immigration reform,” stressing that migrant workers won't be deterred by sporadic campaigns.

‘Menace' narrative

“This fits in all too well with the ‘migrant workers are a menace' narrative,” said Karomat Sharipov, coordinator of the Tajik Migrant Labor group. “Migrant workers are needed here, even though it's a symbiotic relationship that Russians don't want to acknowledge.”

Sharipov said that anti-immigration initiatives by the migration service had little in common with the government's declared immigration policy. In March, the service said it had worked out an elaborate plan to rid Russia of undesirable “ethnic ghettos of migrant workers.”

“Work has begun on the prevention of unwanted compact residence of foreign nationals,” service chief Konstantin Romodanovsky told legislators in March. “By mid-May, we should present an action project after coordinating with other departments.”

Russia certainly faces a huge immigration challenge. Up to 14 million foreign nationals come to Russia annually, and 77 percent of those are citizens of former Soviet states, Romodanovsky said, compared to only about 10 percent from the European Union. Last year, immigrants were adjudged to have committed 2.5 million administrative violations and were fined a total of 6 billion rubles ($180 million), Romodanovsky said. However, neither hefty fines nor squalid living conditions, or even widely publicized abuse by employers, has prevented CIS migrant workers from coming.

There are 9.5 million foreigners in Russia today, of whom 1.3 million work legally while 3.7 million came to visit, Romodanovsky said. Another 3.2 million have been in Russia for more than three months, and some of those might have been working illegally without paying taxes, he said.
