Smuggling is an operation that includes the purpose of importing or exporting to evade taxes, Smuggling

is an Unlawful form of business behavior. The principle causes of smuggling are greed for wealth
ignorance and lack of nationalism. There are three principal best practice approaches to combating
migrant smuggling: law enforcement activities; educational programs; and efforts to protect the rights of
those who have been smuggled. Strategies for law enforcement have become a combination of
disruption and deterrence. They include making human smuggling an explicit crime, raising legal
penalties for alien smuggling, enhancing intelligence, breaking up smuggling rings, increasing smugglers'
arrests and convictions, disrupting conventional routes and safe houses, and improving cooperation with
both state and local law enforcement and international law enforcement authorities. Education
campaigns inform those who might use the services of a smuggler about the dangers entailed. Education
campaigns to combat trafficking in women have received particular attention and support, women have
been employed to work in legal careers and then are trapped in forced prostitution, marriages, domestic
work, sweatshops, and other types of violence. Lastly, Protecting Migrant Rights. The education
campaigns are aimed at preventing the victimization of migrants, but once they do try to enter,
governments grapple with defining what are the standards that govern the treatment accorded to them.
Smugglers have the advantage over governments now because of the lack of an international migration
regime in which governments cooperate to prohibit and prosecute smugglers of humans. A wide range
of relevant issues must be tackled by public officials, including human rights, victim and witness safety,
labor, and workplace regulations.
