Smuggling and Trafficking as two forms of illegal migration and how host country policy deters these

What is it about?

The issue of illegal immigration receives considerable attention from governments all over the world. The policy makers and the academia alike devote substantial interest in the subject owing to various sociopolitical and economic bearings on the recipient and the source countries. Defined broadly, illegal immigration constitutes a move from one country to another by ways and means not admissible under the general or country-specific legal requirements that ‘regular’ migrants need to satisfy. This paper discussed two distinct forms of irregular migration defined as smuggling and trafficking. It discusses how economic policies in a host country can deter the level of these two activities and how it benefits native workers.
