Don't think so. As far as I know, almost all of those who wanted to immigrate to the USA have it done during poor 90x and even before, when all Jews were allowed to left the USSR (I mean those old losers who still live in Brooklyn). Now the USA doesn't look like a good place to move because some things are better than in Russia - others are worse (pros = cons). Telling you this as a Russian who was in the USA and saw a lot to compare.
Furthermore if someone would still like to become an illegal immigrant, why the hell he/she will be doing it in such a stupid manner (cross whole Russia, then go to Alaska, then cross Canada and only after that go to the USA?) Isn't it's easier to get a tourist visa ($100 for a year / $200 for two) and fly to the USA on the plane like a normal man?
So don't be afraid of illegal Russian immigrants. Be afraid of Chinese, African, Arab and "your own" Mexican ones.
