There is a bit of sleight of hand by the way on this idea that we don't have a border but the EU do.
Imagine the situation that some crime has been committed in NI and the criminals escaped. Do you think we would want to know if they have crossed the border or not? Would you be content if the EU declined to tell us because it is "their hard border"?

The EU, generally, doesn't have internal borders. This is the Schengen Area.
UK & Ireland are not parts of the Schengen Area.
