– How do countries stop people from other countries entering theirs through the mountains, forests or water in the border?

They patrol the border. Also, borders away from approved crossing areas are often simply inhospitable. I live near the US/Mexico border and people cross the border through the desert where patrol is spotty fairly often. People die doing this a *lot*. The border between Mexico and California/Arizona/New Mexico is mostly miles and miles of inhospitable desert that is baking hot during the summer and frigid during the winter. If someone was to cross the US/Canada border (which isn’t super common but does happen), they could freeze to death, get lost in the woods, etc. I’m not sure how common it is now, but when I was a kid, people would float to the US from Cuba. They drowned a lot. I’m constantly hearing of people drowning trying to cross borders from Africa and the Middle East to Spain or Greece. It’s dangerous and people won’t do it if they have easier options, and it’s not the most common way to cross border.
