| Summary: | Background. The policy of multiculturalism, put forward at the turn of the
20th–21st centuries, raises before the states the real question of maintaining state and legal
security and ethno-political stability. This is evidenced, in particular, by the activation of
the Black Lives Matters movement in 2020 in the United States, as well as the controversial
immigration policy pursued by Germany in the 1960s which, unfortunately, was not succeed
with the full integration of immigrants into German society. The purpose of the research
is to analyze the migration flows in the United States and Germany, as well as to
analyze their impact on demographic, economic, intellectual, ethnocultural security within
the framework of state and legal security. Materials and methods. The author uses extensive
historical and state research statistics materials in the study of migration processes in
the USA and Germany. An original author’s scheme is published, which demonstrates the
influence of emigration and immigration processes on the state and legal security of donor
and recyclable countries. Results. The analysis of migration processes in the USA and
Germany is carried out. It is shown that even the famous American “melting crucible”,
which worked in the 19th20th centuries quite effectively, in the 21st century it did not cope
with the tasks of cultural and civilizational integration of the American society. In Germany,
which did not have a wealth of experience in conducting a restraining and encouraging
immigration policy, as in the United States, the possibilities for embedding newcomers
(first of all, extremely aggressive adherents of Islamic fundamentalism) are even more limited.
Conclusions. For each specific state, migration has its pros and cons. However, first
of all, insufficiently regulated migration is a threat to state and legal security, creating
ethnopolitical instability. One should not pin hopes on the fact that migration will be able to
solve such planetary problems as poverty, hunger and socioeconomic backwardness.
