I believe the answer is:

marches

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'borders?' is the definition.
(I know this)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for marches that I've seen before include "Protest demonstrations" , "Demonstrates" , "Border country - proceeds!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
