border protection
National boundary enforcement
Border protection refers to government measures controlling who and what enters a country—immigration enforcement, customs inspection, preventing smuggling.
The term often carries political weight, invoked to justify strict policies: The administration emphasized border protection in its campaign.
Critics argue it sometimes masks anti-immigrant sentiment behind security language.
