The English name of the Hong Kong Immigration Department is Immigration. Is it also responsible for immigration affairs? Are the immigration offices of Western countries generally responsible for border inspections?

The Hong Kong Immigration Department is not actually in charge of border inspection. Hong Kong Immigration Inspection is managed by the Customs. The Immigration Department is responsible for visas and also handles some nationality and immigration issues. To put it simply, it is to manage the movements of people who are not Hong Kong residents in Hong Kong. For example, the Immigration Department has the final say whether to let you enter Hong Kong, but it only cares whether you can come in or not, not how you come in or what you bring in. The latter is Controlled by customs. So don’t think that the Hong Kong Immigration Department is border inspection. In fact, it is not. It is the Immigration Bureau of Hong Kong. It is just called the Immigration Department. The work is still the work of the Immigration Bureau.

Immigration bureaus in Western countries will not take care of border inspections. Border inspections are generally handled by customs. This is similar all over the world, and the same is true in China. If the customs discovers some people who have entered the country illegally, they will be handed over to the Immigration Bureau, which is responsible for repatriation. Entry involves many agencies, not just the Immigration Bureau or Customs or others.
