National border control agencies
National border control agencies are government organizations responsible for managing and regulating the movement of people, goods, and vehicles across a country's borders. They ensure security by preventing illegal entry, smuggling, and trafficking, while also facilitating lawful travel and trade. These agencies conduct passport and visa checks, inspect cargo, and enforce immigration laws. Their role is crucial for national security, economic stability, and maintaining order at borders. They operate at points of entry such as airports, seaports, and land crossings, coordinating with other law enforcement and intelligence agencies to ensure safe and legal borders.
