immigration restriction
Entry control policy
Immigration restriction refers to policies, laws, or measures that limit who may enter or settle in a country.
Governments impose restrictions based on national origin, skills, criminal history, health status, or numerical caps.
The term often appears in debates over border control and refugee policy: The new immigration restrictions targeted travelers from several countries.
As a political stance, it ranges from moderate reform to near-total exclusion.
