Trafficking in US Agriculture

Based on a qualitative methodology that includes in"depth interviews with 90 Mexican migrant smugglers and 45 Central American farmworkers, this article analyzes the three separate elements of trafficking in US agriculture, namely acts, means, and purposes. We conclude that some US employers participate in human trafficking by financing or helping to recruit and transport Mexican and Central American migrants to the US by means of "abuse of a position of vulnerability" for the purposes of involuntary servitude, debt bondage, and sex exploitation.
