Cossacks to be engaged in counteraction to illegal migrants in Kuban

The migration situation, existing in Krasnodar Krai, requires adequate measures and efficient preventive work with all newcomers. This is what Krai Governor Alexander Tkachyov has declared in Krasnodar.

According to him, at present there are more than 140 thousand foreign citizens at the territory of this region. More than 100 thousands of them are labor migrants, Yuga reports.

Mr. Tkachyov believes that there is a need to fight not only with illegal migration, but also with criminality from legal migrant laborers. Everything depends on how the authorities, law enforcement agencies, the public, and the Cossacks are going to perform their functions, and the Governor makes the special stake on the latter.

The head of the regions has already addressed the topic of migration for many times. On May 16, 2013 the Governor said that foreign laborers would be unnecessary in Kuban after all Olympic objects’ construction was over.

On February 27, 2013 Mr. Tkachyov underlined that «working environment and comfortable conditions in Krasnodar Krai крае are created for Kuban residents and not for hundreds of thousands of migrants».
