Abstract

The article deals with the problems of migration legislation in the sphere of social cultural adaptation and integration of migrants. Social adaptation and integration of migrants is one of the most important tasks in the development of migration processes. However, mechanisms and tools for regulating these processes have not yet been developed. The author, analyzing the current migration problems, including the problems of illegal migration, the formation of ethnic enclaves, notes that, despite the presence of certain legislative acts, one way or another relating to the issues of adaptation, in General, migration legislation is not formed, first of all, this is due to the absence of the basic law on the adaptation of foreign citizens. Among the problems, the author also calls the lack of the necessary infrastructure that allows migrants to adapt and integrate into Russian society. The article analyzes the activities of the main Federal Executive body authorized to implement activities on adaptation and integration of foreign citizens-the Federal Agency for nationalities, the tasks that the Agency is currently implementing, and which have yet to be fulfilled. The best regional practices in the field of adaptation and integration of migrants are shown. Recommendations and proposals for improving migration legislation in the field of adaptation and integration of migrants are given.
