Enforcement

Enforcement refers to the range of measures that can be exercised on non-citizens in order to require them to comply with immigration controls. It takes place both at the border and within state territory, and can also be outsourced to third countries. As well as detention and deportation (see above) it includes processes such as identity checks, workplace raids and border policing.
