Abstract: Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of migration on national security: a case study of border control policies. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: Japan's strict border control policies effectively limit irregular migration and unauthorized entry, enhancing national security. However, concerns arise regarding potential human rights violations, particularly for asylum seekers and refugees. Balancing security with humanitarian considerations is crucial for protecting migrants' rights. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Securitization theory, rational choice theory & social identity theory may be used to anchor future studies on analyze the impact of migration on national security: a case study of border control policies. Implement more transparent and accountable aid allocation mechanisms that prioritize long-term investments in governance reform, economic development, and social inclusion to address the root causes of instability in recipient countries. Advocate for the adoption of coherent and principled aid allocation policies that balance economic interests with the promotion of democratic governance and human rights protections in recipient countries.
