Medvedev appreciated the new migration control point in Sheremetyevo

The presence and actions of every foreign citizen in Russia must be checked by the authorities, otherwise the migrant should be deported. This was stated by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev at a meeting on migration on December 23.

He visited Sheremetyevo Airport, where an experiment is underway to collect biometric data of all migrants at the border.

"The stay of every migrant in our country should be absolutely transparent, and his every step should be visible to administrative and law enforcement agencies," Medvedev stressed. A video recording of the meeting was posted on his page on the VKontakte social network.
