Externalization (migration)

Externalization[a] describes the efforts of wealthy, developed countries to prevent asylum seekers and other migrants from reaching their borders, often by enlisting third countries or private entities.[5][6] Externalization is used by Australia, Canada, the United States, the European Union[7] and the United Kingdom.[8] Although less visible than physical barriers at international borders, externalization controls or restrict mobility in ways that are out of sight and far from the country's border.[9] Examples include visa restrictions, sanctions for carriers who transport asylum seekers, and agreements with source and transit countries. Consequences often include increased irregular migration, human smuggling, and border deaths.
