The author analyzes the reasons for the emergence and exacerbation of the problem of migrants and refugees in Europe, examines its impact on the situation in regions and countries of the continent, and also gives forecast for ways to resolve it in the conditions of growing terrorist threat for global peace and security.
The author points out that the flow of migrants, which reached its peak in 2015-2016, was one of the most severe effects of unreasoned actions of western politicians in the Middle East and Africa to the European and world politics. Many analysts called it a humanitarian catastrophe of modern times, comparable in scale and suffering of disadvantaged people with the great disasters of human history.
The origins of the problem are in the widening gap between the living standards of the "golden billion" living in developed countries and owning half the wealth and resources of our planet, and the rest of humanity. Many inhabitants of Asia, Africa and Latin America have long been left for Europe and North America, swelling the ranks of migrants in search of better lives and happier future for themselves and their children.
A serious risk of activation of terrorists, "leaking" to the continent under the guise of refugees, has appeared for Western
countries along with the economic burden of the content and arrangement of the uninvited guests. They are increasing the explosive potential of poorly educated foreigners, naturalized in the past, and ready for a battle, driven by resentment and social protest.
The experience of the Western countries shows clearly how the ranks of extremists continuously replenished by disaffected immigrant youth, failed to find a decent place in a prosperous and closed for "outsiders" Western society interested only in labor force.
The author notes that the influx of people seeking a better life has caused a stir late in the European Union. However, it was not easy to coordinate urgent collective measures, including due to the growing demand in the inflow of labor force, as Western Europe is rapidly grew old.
Europe is shaken by the mass demonstrations and meetings to stop the inflow of the "guests" from unsafe regions. As a result, the leaders of Britain and France, followed by Spain, have rejected quota allocation for the reception of migrants, scheduled by the EU leadership.
Europe has created a severe humanitarian problem since the Second World War, according to the UN estimates, supporting the anti-government demonstrations in Libya and in Syria (with the U.S. submission), causing a sharp increase in the flow of refugees, and, as a result, it was completely unprepared to address it.
The author writes that Russia is ready to cooperate with European countries in the UN Security Council and beyond for the solution of the aggravated problems of illegal immigrants. The Russian government emphasized that it was necessary to solve humanitarian task of receiving internally displaced persons, but at the same time also eradicate the causes of this phenomenon in international life - restoring stability and government administration in the Middle East and North Africa and on the
African continent, which had been violated by the voluntaristic policy of the U.S. and their Western partners.
The migratory influx split the Old World society even more and as a result European countries quarreled, accusing each other of violating migration rules. Countries of "Balkan road" were dissatisfied with the states of Western Europe, which have caused an influx of refugees by their political actions in Libya and other countries in Middle East and North regions, and slowed the reception of migrants. The split was observed not only along the vector of: East - West but also North-South. Southern EU members have dissatisfaction with the slowness of wealthy northerners to accept a non-decreasing number of migrants.
The terrorist attacks have complicated the problem of migrants and displaced persons even more: many European countries have closed the border in a panic. The increased violence has caused a further aggravation of the political situation in Europe. Many EU leaders, and A. Merkel, in particular, were attacked by right-wing nationalists due to the inability to curb the aliens. It was found that law enforcement officers received "recommendations" from the authorities not to exaggerate the facts of the criminal acts of aliens, in order not to aggravate the internal ethnic situation.
The growing polarization of European society, as well as increasing Islamophobia have been profitable for the Islamists, representing a "caliphate" as the only reliable support for Muslims in the hostile environment of the infidels.
The author notes that the migration crisis has become a serious test of strength for the entire European Union, which failed to mobilize its resources to address it. West European economy can not do without migrant workers. The influx of foreign labor in the continent will continue. The EU leaders need to put it under a reliable, anti-terrorist control, to establish an effective and versatile everyday cooperation of the intelligence services for that purpose.
At the end of the article, the author writes that it is impossible to do without the creation of the international antiterrorist coalition in this regard. Russia has long called for and calls for it now. The Western countries should stop trying to impose their recipes for the further development of the peoples of sovereign states. All the recent history demonstrates their full counter-productivity, leading to the deprivation of millions of people, forced to seek refuge and food far from their destroyed native homes.

Migration became one of the main factors for social changes in globalizing world. Migration was previously controlled by host countries because the states made an agreement to replace labor forces but at the turn of 20 and 21 centuries illegal immigration began increasing.
Migration resulted mainly in negative consequences for the countries having lost the part of population. Migration causes concrete changes in the society structure. More and more one feels a lack of labor forces owing to a departure of the most active
