National legislation as a legal basis for regulating migration processes

The article examines national legislation as a legal basis for regulating migration processes. The relevance of the research topic is due to the need to improve the regulation of migration processes, revise conceptual approaches in regulating migration relations, and increase the efficiency of the system of state management of migration relations. Scientific understanding of various aspects of migration processes lags behind dynamically changing migration relations. The object of the study is social relations that develop in the field of regulating migration processes. The subject is the theoretical and legal foundations of regulating migration processes. Legal regulation of migration processes is defined as a set of interdependent legal types, means and methods of influence aimed at achieving management goals in the field of migration, which form a holistic system that consistently regulates all stages of the migration process. It is noted that the need for a radical streamlining of migration legislation and improvement of the legal basis for regulating migration processes poses the codification of migration legislation as a promising task. In the modern world, there is a tendency to strengthen migration regimes in the field of border and visa control, granting special legal statuses, citizenship, regulation of labor migration and combating illegal migration. In Ukraine, addressing issues of ensuring security in the migration sector, combating illegal migration requires the development of new political and legal means of achieving the goal and solving the tasks of modern migration policy, which include the implementation of a set of administrative measures aimed at improving the legal regulation of migration regimes, taking into account the requirements of protecting the national interests of the state, as well as the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of citizens, foreigners and stateless persons. This requires the efforts of the state, all its branches and authorities, especially the system of law enforcement agencies, and primarily the bodies of the State Migration Service of Ukraine. Regulation of migration processes must take into account national interests and human and citizen rights.
