How do countries typically guard their borders ?

1.20K viewsOther

So I just learned that not all borders are fenced, very few of them are actually. So how are countries able to monitor thousands of kilometers of unfenced borders to fight off smuggling and illegal immigration ? Especially when it comes to long borders in arid/undeveloped areas, one example that comes to mind are the borders in Siberia.

Germany doesnt have guarded borders anymore. The border in lake Constanz isnt even properly defined. I travelled to Italy 4 times by train and the train goes from Munich to Venice through Austria. When you cross the border some police officers enter the train before crossing and leaving at the next station, looking at some IDs in the meantime. Thats basically all we have left as border control outside of airports.
