As I said - it is a hint to reform social security system, to make it impossible.And they don't work... live off the state.... (Where is this craziness going to end..... ?)
In Latvia living off the state is quite difficult - that pregnant girl would probably get only ~100$ per month child support here (+600$ at birth) and nothing more if she does not work. (And you have to work at least for 1 year to get unemployment benefits). So i'm not particularly against immigrants, as they will either work and pay taxes or die of starvation or cold weather.
Russian economy also will be hit hard by that event - as most exports are to EU.Following the total economic collapse of EU, for example.

But yes - reverse variant is possible too.
