I know that security is a bit of a show and its really more of a deterant, but I was wondering realistically how I could prevent someone breaking and entering a small-ish American home? What is actually effective?

In response to law enforcement, make sure you know your rights. If they are truly just conducting door to door operations, they would have no legal basis to enter your house. That might not stop them from fabricating some exigent circumstances (legally defined term that would come into play). But unless you open the door and/or invite them in, they can’t legally come in.
And a lawyer. Find a lawyer ahead of time. You’re not going to have much luck defending yourself against overwhelming force and numbers, but most people who survive long enough have the opportunity to defend themselves in court. At least we used to.
In America, in most cases, they can’t cross the door frame and can’t touch you unless you cross outside. ’
And if masked men kick the door down? I got that covered best I know how.
