Border control

Border control is a comprehensive regulatory framework employed by nations to manage and oversee the movement of people, goods, and vehicles across their territorial boundaries. It constitutes a fundamental aspect of national security and immigration law enforcement, serving to safeguard borders against unauthorized entry, illegal immigration, smuggling, and other threats. Border control measures encompass a wide range of activities, including surveillance, inspection, patrolling, and enforcement of immigration and customs laws.

Birthright citizenship

Birthright citizenship, also known as jus soli, is a fundamental principle in immigration law that grants citizenship to individuals born within the territorial limits of a state or country, regardless of the nationality or immigration status of their parents.
