BBC article 4/14
This article is about how the police and agents from the FSB security agency and Federal Migration Service found an underground,"city" of illegal immigrants. Apparently Russia is mad at illegal immigrants just like the U.S.. The immigrants, 110 men women and children, were also working in a factory making sewing parts. It is said that anyone hiring immigrants, mostly Asian, would be fined. According to Moscow's Central Department of Internal Affairs, migrants are responsible for around 70% of crimes committed in the city.
But Moscow Federal Migration Service representative Mikhail Tyurkin said "according to official statistics foreigners in Russia are only only to blame for around 3.5% of crimes committed". That's a pretty big difference in percents.
I think that it is interesting that so many people are illegaly immigrating. It is so cool to see how far "the grass is greener" has gone. the people were living underground on wooden beds, that's amazing. I think I would have been scared. It makes you wonder what condtiones they left to think that wooden beds were better. I do think that immigrating illegally is bad, but maby the system of legally immigrating should be made easier. I have no idea IF it is even hard to immigrate, but judging from how many people are sneeking into towns at night, I don't think it is too easy.
