Abstract
Aim. The research is aimed at analyzing the constitutional and legal foundations of migration policy of the Russian Federation, including its role in ensuring national security, combating crime and regulating migration flows, as well as identifying legal challenges and improving legislation.
Methodology. Within the framework of the work the methods of normative analysis, comparative legal approach and systemic research were applied. The provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, Federal laws, presidential decrees and international norms regulating migration policy were analyzed. Special attention is paid to statistical data and examples of law enforcement related to combating crime and extremism.
Results. The study identified key legal challenges related to legal and illegal migration, including threats to national security, extremism and corruption schemes. Directions for improving migration legislation are proposed, such as strengthening control over biometrics, revising naturalization mechanisms and strengthening the constitutional and legal framework to counter crime.
Research implications. The theoretical significance of the research consists in developing new approaches to analyze constitutional-legal principles of migration regulation and crime control. Practical significance lies in proposing specific measures to improve legislative mechanisms to increase the effectiveness of state migration policy.
