The State Duma proposed to tighten the rules for the payment of social benefits to new citizens of the Russian Federation

The Fair Russia – For Truth party has developed a bill to tighten the rules for providing social assistance to migrants who have received Russian passports, Sergei Mironov, the leader of the SRZP, told Izvestia. The initiative will be submitted to the State Duma on October 15.

"We are convinced that migrants should receive the right to social support, maternity capital, pension supplements, social benefits, and preferential mortgages only after 20 years of permanent residence in our country from the date of obtaining Russian citizenship," the parliamentarian said.

According to the bill, such an initiative should not apply to participants in a special military operation, citizens of Belarus, Ukraine, and those who received a Russian passport as a result of the annexation of new regions to the Russian Federation. The uncontrolled distribution of citizenship has led to the fact that any support for a large family in Russia results in the fact that social assistance is primarily received not by indigenous people, but by foreign citizens, since they have more large families and more children in their families, the explanatory note says.

According to estimates by the Human Rights Council under the President of the Russian Federation, every year a new Russian family receives from 700 thousand to 2.5 million rubles from the budget.

"This means that the government spends tens of billions of rubles a year to support former migrants," Mironov stressed.

He recalled that a series of scandals had recently swept through the regions over the issuance of housing certificates to new citizens from Central Asia.

At the same time, new Russian citizens often work illegally, pay few taxes, and receive full benefits. Thus, the Russian Federation finances large families not in indigenous Russian families, but in families of new citizens, where children do not even learn Russian, the explanatory note says.
