SAKHAROVO, Russia (AP) — Moscow's migration center works 24 hours a day, seven days a week to process work-permit applications from the flood of people from other former Soviet states who travel to the Russian capital in search of work.

From 4,000 to 6,000 migrants come through the center every day, where they spend long hours waiting in line to register, undergo medical checks and be tested on their knowledge of Russian language and history.

Most are from Moldova, Tajikistan, Ukraine or Uzbekistan, the countries whose citizens make up the bulk of Moscow's foreign work force of about 1 million. Another 1 million work in the adjoining region. Most of the migrants work in construction, on municipal crews, as drivers or do other manual labor in Moscow, whose population tops 12 million.

Some migrants complain that it takes up to three days to get all of the paperwork completed, requiring repeated trips to the center in Sakharovo, a village about 60 kilometers (35 miles) south of the city.

hmmmmmmm.

With the Pubbies and Dems both pushing for amnesty and open borders, they are overlooking a new source of revenue.

Require day laborers who show up in the parking lots of Home Depot, Lowes, etc., to purchase a ‘day work permit’ from the government.

And when they get to Moscow, they are treated about as well as a black fellow would have been in Hattiesburg, Mississippi in 1958.

There are no 'black' buses, carriages or public toilets in Moscow.
