PROBLEMS OF FIGHT AGAINST ILLEGAL MIGRATION (EXPERT ASSESSMENT)

Abstract

Migration is a huge resource that must be used rationally. Therefore, it is important to implement the state control over migration flows to minimize the negative impact of spontaneous migrations and enhance the positive effects of the migration movement. The negative effects of the migration crisis in Europe testify to the danger of uncontrolled migration processes for the stability in society, the maintenance of international peace and harmony. The implementation of the state migration policy offers great opportunities for the regulation of migratory flows both to fulfill humanitarian obligations and to combat illegal migration associated with uncontrolled migration flows, given that the illegal migration creates the whole system of inter-ethnic, inter-national and inter-religious conflict risks. To study the existing problems of fight against the illegal migration the solution of which could facilitate the adoption of effective measures aimed at improving the legislation in this area, an expert survey was performed by the Institute for Effective State and Civil Society of the Political Science Department of the Financial University as part of the research on this subject. This survey is described in this paper.
