Modern Day Slavery In U.S. – Mexican Territory: Human Trafficking at the Border

Broadly speaking, human trafficking pertains to the use of a human being(s) as a commodity for the profit of other(s). Therefore, human trafficking is widely considered to be a modern-day form of slavery where, in the same way that merchandise is appropriated and transported across territory, whether nationally or trans-nationally, human beings are obtained and retained against their will for the financial benefit of others.
