And most people won’t even know their identity’s been stolen until it’s too late and they become a victim to identity theft. Identity thieves can cause a lot of harm to their victims, such as stealing their personal information; several negative effects identity theft has on its victims are using your identity for criminal activities, financial loss, and it can even put people in physical danger. The most important effect identity theft causes is that criminals can use your identity to commit crimes. Such as drug smuggling or crossing state lines they can commit fraud to gain government benefits. And by using their identity to commit these crimes can seriously damage someone’s reputation.
As drug smugglers have started to participate in human trafficking and one of the groups at most risk to be kidnapped is people who go through Mexico to get to the U.S. It isn’t uncommon for people trying to immigrate illegally to go missing trying to get to the U.S. Recently 72 illegal immigrants from Central trying to get to the U.S were found dead. It is suspected they were killed for refusing to do work for drug traffickers. The second reason for a decline in illegal immigration is an improving Mexican economy.
Customs officers are expected to do their job and put a stop to the drug trafficking but the temptation of making some extra money may be extremely strong. Money is the root of all evil and a lot of people are very selfish. For an example, they know the effects drugs have on a society as a whole but if the price is high enough, they may turn their head and allow the drugs to be brought in. Not only is this wrong, it is damaging to everyone. “It is believed that the loss of the drug trafficking industry in Mexico would cause that country’s economy to shrink by over 63 percent” (DrugAbuse.net, (2012), para.

Although laws differ from state to state here is a typical routine facing repeat offenders “Getting an attorney in hopes of getting a reduced a reduced sentence or pleading to a reduced charge is a waste of time and money in many states. The penalties that the judge must impose are mandated by state law. In some states even first offenders may be facing license suspensions and a weekend in jail” is quite lenient in my opinion. “Many states have passed a Habitual violator law, which provide felony penalties for three Dui convictions.
So the only way they can, they have their children work. Whether it be dangerous or illegal. The poverty will make anybody take drastic measures. No mother wants their son or daughter to go to work and worry if they will be back that night or not. Money is their priority, and so many families are in need.
It's been reported that there have been at least six kidnappings here in El Paso, Texas, people abducted and taken back over the border.” It becomes evident that there is a constant high level of anxiety and worry in the air, perhaps, even, a feeling of loss of control. Because of El Paso’s close correspondence with Juarez, even in times like these, El Paso city officials still find reason to stay connected to the Mexican city. O’Rourke goes on to say, “the immigration problems that we have today and the nature of our relationship with Mexico that we have today is going to change significantly, and it will be for the worse. And so it really is a national security issue…” Dozens of Juarez shooting victims have been treated at Thomas General Hospital in El Paso at a cost to local taxpayers of more than $1 million. The hospital experienced several lockdowns because of fears that hit men would realize a victim was still alive, cross the border, and try and “finish the
Although the victims of this trafficking varies, statistics show those who have been thrown out of their homes, those who have a history of abuse, or are being handled by the government through foster care or child protective services are most likely to get pulled into this industry (Kotrla 4). The most common trafficker in these situations are pimps, roughly 75% of these victims are controlled by a pimp. Pimps generally exploit through “escort and massage services, private dancing, drinking and photographic clubs, major sporting and recreational events, major cultural events, conventions, and tourists destinations”(Kotrla 4).

Being isolated from love ones for a day would hurt someone, but not seeing them for two years straight is crazy. Thoreau, when thinking of this plan, was thinking about his self and not for others. People in today’s society need friends and family to support them in life. Friends are there for you when you need to hang out with some, or to have fun and enjoy life every once in a while.
