Putin’s New MAGA Immigration Formula
Summary
Russia’s Interior Ministry proposes a new system for bringing in foreign workers only for the time they are needed, with strict control over where they live and work, and requiring them to return home after their job ends. This plan aims to fix labor shortages caused by factors like low unemployment, the war in Ukraine, and Russia’s aging population. President Putin has shown support for this idea, which seeks to avoid permanent immigration.Key Facts
