Secondary source excerpt (about 85 words): Political boundaries can be used to regulate labor mobility. Seasonal worker programs, temporary visas, and employer sponsorship systems allow some migrants to cross legally for specific jobs while limiting long-term settlement. At the same time, patrols and penalties may be increased to discourage unauthorized entry outside these channels. Such policies illustrate that border control is not simply about closing a boundary; it is about structuring who may cross, for how long, and under what conditions. These rules also affect remittances and regional labor markets. Which option best identifies the boundary function emphasized in the excerpt?
