Abstract

Thus, migration is a characteristic feature of the new millennium, which has the ability to spread. At the same time, the number of problems associated with this trend is growing: legal, economic, social, ethnocultural, religious, psychological [9, p. 18]. Their solution is possible with the coordination of efforts of all branches of government, a comprehensive approach to combating illegal migration, and close international cooperation in solving this problem. Thus, illegal migration in Ukraine is an acute problem that affects the rule of law, the economic situation, and the international image not only of our country but also of many others. For Ukraine, the problem of illegal migration is completely new and its growing trend is of concern, as it is associated with illegal operations and various types of crime. The rapid development and expansion of the geographical boundaries of illegal migration are due to various economic and political factors. Illegal migration occupies a significant percentage in the structure of migration flows. It is a socially dangerous, harmful, illegal phenomenon that really threatens the economic interests and public security of our state. It is one of the reasons for the growth of crime, the spread of dangerous diseases, the development of the underground labor market, the emergence of tensions between many countries.
