Abstract

Illegal migration remains a widespread problem. Among a wide range of various ways of solving it, the final migration result can guarantee the return procedure. Their relevance is related to the introduction of an effective border policy as a tool for creating a territory of freedom, security and justice with respect for basic human rights.
The meta-study of the return of illegal migrants took place in its established purpose and the current status of legal regulation in the general system of integrated border management.
The return of illegal migrants is characterized taking into account methodological approaches about the obligation of coercive measures, the relationship with the protection of the state border and the humanization of its implementation. Systemic-structural and functional methods contributed to the study of the status of subjects authorized to ensure forced return and reproduction, regulatory and legal provision of cooperation in the implementation of coercive measures against foreigners and stateless persons. The comparative legal method was used to characterize the social conditioning of the application of return to combat illegal migration in different socio-political conditions in comparison with the foreign experience of border management.
Conducting the forced return and removal of foreigners (stateless persons) of the object also characterizes the administrative and jurisdictional content of the procedural activity. Making a decision on the application of return has been transferred to the purely administrative sphere of competence of individual bodies, in particular, state border protection bodies. Judicial control is carried out for the detention of illegal migrants with the provision of enforcement of diversion.
The evaluation of the effectiveness of the return policy of illegal migrants is based on the indicators of the fulfillment of the goals of the integrated border management strategy. It is proposed to highlight the legal, qualitative and psychological components of such efficiency.
