Or, to elaborate on what Fitz said, block off not your borders, but their route:
Settler teams going through to get to that vast frozen penisular ? With a two tile bottle neck? You know what to do. (by the way, proves that the AI "cheats" as I have closed off the route, and the 20ish settlers of all nationalties plodding thro my fields turned straight back home, and they were, what, 20 ? 30 ? tiles from the bottleneck.
Same for armys crossing to invate your neigbour. The shortest blocking route is rarely on the border.

Just a tip

All true. But there is more.

Settlers march right into my territory, and they get two free passes until the "get out or declare war" notice appears. THEN they TELEPORT themselves magically to some far corner of my kingdom where there is an open tile - a tile they should not even know about!

I've had demented STACKS of Indian War Elephants drunkenly walk into my territory, and then humbly apologize and leave. That TEDIUM repeated itself for a dozen turns.

Workers march boldy across my territory.

Even when I'm at war with a civ, if I raze one of their cities, the idiot AI sends a setler directly to the open tile. Of course I promptly attack and destroy it.

Yes, outside of Culture Flipping, it is the most annoying aspect of the game.

As for blocking borders with units, it's another exercise in tedium.

no but really, i found that they stop incursions after i flex my military muscle(s)
I suspect something like this may be happening as well. Many games ago, a rival civ would continuously send units across my border. Finally, I told him to get off and he declared war. I won the war, not big time, but big enough to make my point. The next time he crossed my border, I told him to get off, and he did (and stayed off - no more incursions from him).

You are so anti-america that having a conversation with you would be poinless. You may or maynot feel you are an enemy of the United States, I don't care either way. However if I still worked for the Goverment I would turn over your e-mail address to my bosses and what ever happen, happens.
