How is trafficking different from smuggling?
Smuggling is when a person helps another person cross a border into a county illegally. Often times the smuggler will force the illegal to work in a factory, a sweat shop, or other job in poor conditions, earning very little money, until the debt to the smuggler for his/her service has been satisfied. While both a person who is smuggled and a person who is trafficked both enter countries voluntarily, the difference is that a person who is trafficked does not know that they are being trafficked, or that they will be forced into servitude.
