One is trading people (as property), one is people moving to a country without legal acceptance and smuggling is one person helping another get into a country without the country's acceptance. |

Human trafficking: The recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons used for illegal purposes, slavery, sale. Is done by force.
Illegal immigration:immigration across national borders in a way that violates the immigration laws of the destination country
smuggling:to import or export (goods) secretly, in violation of the law, esp. without payment of legal duty.
Immigration is a choice made by a person to go a place or country to live without following the proper channels in order to reside there legally. Whereas trafficking the person or persons are generally taken against his or her will. Smuggling is a lose term that could relate to both items as some people will pay others to smuggle them across the border while kidnapped people can also be smuggled into the country. So smuggling relates to both topics while immigration and trafficking are clearly different. |

The distinction has to do with the will of the individual.
-Human trafficking is when people are forced to move across borders against their will usually for financial gain.
Think of a slave trade as an example.
-Human smuggling is when someone wants to willingly move across a border illegally and solicits help from a person or organization.
-Illegal immigration is when a person willingly moves across a border themselves illegally.
Although the media many times gets these words confused...Just keep in mind that the difference has to do with the will of the person. If he/she is being forced acrossed borders and money is exchanged, it is human trafficking. If the person is willingly moving, it is smuggling. |
