INTRODUCTIONThe right to migrate is constitutional, regulated and standardized in national and international agreements. The right to move from one community to another is based on previously agreed concepts of international cooperation policies and human rights. Currently, records of migration of people between countries are observed at the beginning of the 21st century, compared to previous periods. According to data from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), there are around 200 million migrants in the world today. From this number, it is estimated that half are undocumented in their destination countries. Historically and globally, migratory journeys have always played an important role in the civilization process, with significant impacts on the economy and socio-cultural development of the countries involved in these flows. In the context of the globalization of production and consumption markets, there is a growth in illegal immigration aimed at developing low-cost labor in slave and/or degrading jobs. In most cases, people undergoing the immigration process are victims of criminal networks of human trafficking and migrant smuggling. The United Nations (UN) estimates that more than three million migrants are victims of organized trafficking networks, which generate revenue of more than $32 billion annually.
