Comments:While in English, 'smuggling' can be used for any sort of thing or person, Spanish does make a differentiation between contrabando, de bienes, and trata, de personas. That said, a common question is did you hire a smuggler to get you across the border? Though this could be rendered simply with the term 'contrabandista', 'traficador de personas' is also found in the Mexican press and is readily understood.
