Human trafficking on the US border has increased And behind this, the Donald Trump Administration's strict immigration policy has been identified as the main reason for analysts.

Before coming to power, Donald Trump announced a similar war against immigrants. After taking power, he has taken various steps in reality. Along with imposing travel restrictions on citizens of different countries, the activities of immigration and customs agents have increased greatly. Many people in America have been hunted for a long time to disperse the deportation And there is strict scrutiny on the border. In this situation, people from different countries from different countries increased contact with human traffickers. They want to cross the border and enter America.
According to analysts, when a country harms immigration policy, it naturally increases the activities of human trafficking in the center of the country. According to the Oxford Martin School of Research Center at Oxford University, "The extreme control of the border is the main cause of human trafficking. As the border becomes stricter, the greater the reliance on refugees and immigration expectations, the confidence in the human trafficking clique increases. Strict immigration policy mainly motivates people to take such risk.

Humanitarian rates in the current US immigration policy have risen to the US-Mexico border. Human trafficking at this border is known as 'Coyotes'. Adam Eijksson, director of the Military Observation Division of the Washington Office of Latin American America, said: "Currently, no immigration can expect to cross the border without contact with experienced people on the basis of coyotes or the way in America. And taking advantage of the strict immigration policy, this is mainly the human trafficking cycle. In exchange for a huge amount, they are actually taking people to America. Accidents are also happening in any case. '

US Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) says the rate of human trafficking has increased with the announcement of strict action against unregistered immigrants. Even this rate began to rise in the 2016 presidential election campaign, when Trump started giving various anti-immigrant statements. As of June this year, 2,011 cases of human trafficking have been identified by the ICE. But in the whole of 2016, such incidents took place 2 thousand 110. In the previous year, the number was 1,886.

Like all other sectors, the trafficking cycle has increased their prices according to the demand and supply of the same. According to the Homeland Security Department report, the human trafficking fee reached the highest level after Donald Trump announced the position in 2015. Based on the difference in the border area, at the time, the coyotes cost three to four thousand dollars per person to enter America. In 2009, the fee was one to two thousand dollars per person. And at least one incident in recent cases was found that human traffickers received $ 9,200 from one person.
Increasing the activities of human trafficking is also causing the person's life as a cause. Many people can take help from traffickers to come to America but can not bring life to the end. According to the Federal officials, since 1998, only seven thousand died on the way to the southern border. Customs and Border Protection Division spokesman told Newsweek, "All of the people who have been unfortunate victims on the way while entering America are victims of human trafficking.

In July, 10 people were recovered from a truck in front of a sales center in Walmart in San Antonio. These 10 people are mainly victims of human trafficking. And the better reason behind this is that in the strict immigration policy.
Adam Eijacson said that in most cases these people died due to dehydration. The trafficking cycles are in the satsak keeping the body in these cases. In many cases, depending on the amount given to the trafficker, It takes two days for Mexico to come to America, after paying a high price. In the case of lower prices, the speed of travel increases. In that case there are plenty of walks. Even to be victim of torture. And of course, the traffickers leave the concerned person in the border area, without any responsibility.
