Illegal labor migration as a threat to national security and the development of measures to overcome it

This article offers a thorough analysis of illegal labour migration, which poses a significant threat to the national security of the Russian Federation. The relevance of the topic has increased due to the growing scale of migration flows in the context of globalization and their negative impact on the socio-economic and political stability of host countries. The aim of the study is to identify key aspects of the national security threats associated with illegal labor migration and to propose recommendations on how to resolve it. The study highlights significant contradictions in the approaches to this problem. On one hand, stricter migration policies and enhanced border controls are viewed as necessary measures. On the other hand, such approaches can lead to an increase in the criminalization of migration processes. Additionally, there are disagreements regarding the economic consequences of these policies. In conclusion, a number of priority measures are discussed, focusing on enhancing control over illegal labor migrants and aimed at improving Russian migration policy.
