Coming to America to make a better life has long been a dream of
many from around the world, even if it means being voluntarily
smuggled into the country to gain entry. Perhaps more ominously,
various criminal elements now traffic people to the United
States--especially vulnerable groups like women and children from
poor nations--against their will for sexual exploitation, slavery,
and other illicit, underground purposes. The implications for the
United States are potentially staggering. This book examines how
for-profit human smuggling and trafficking activities to the United
States are carried out and explores the legal and policy challenges
of dealing with these problems. Zhang covers the scope and patterns
of global human trafficking and smuggling activities; the
strategies and methods employed by various groups to bring
individuals into the United States; major smuggling routes and
venues; the involvement of organized criminal organizations in
transnational human smuggling activities; and the challenges
confronting the U.S. government in combating these activities.
