Smuggling and Organized Crime

Smuggling is when the secret possessions enter and exit through unofficial path. The aspect also

results into skipping payment of custom duty. Smuggling activity is taking place due to the geographical

status of nations and the poverty levels. According to Mamazizi and Rostami (2016), the act affects the

economy of a country. It diminishes state tax and obligation receipts. In contrast, this legal act causes

the exit of moneys, massive withdrawal of savings, a rise in joblessness, and reduction of interior

industrial products. Similarly, the existence of border minimarkets, border trading, and exchange

together with exportation of products through these minimarkets will help solve not only border

dwellers' subsistence problems but also, an achievement for the entrance to larger industrial areas.

Despite the challenge of smuggling being known, some of the legal border activities within our

borders include the cross-border mobility of immigrants without legal documents but in demand for

legal survival resources. According to Mamazizi and Rostami (2016), some individuals may tend to work

in companies without proper working papers and drug trafficking. This is among the few activities

happening in our borders that risk the lives of our fellow citizens. The government needs to step in and

monitor all the events happening within our borders (Novakoff, 2016). This activity hinders the growth

of the legitimate trade within the boundaries.

On the other hand, globalization of organized crime is the increase of the border crime that

affects the international grounds, with the high intake of the senior government officials facilitating the

legal traded of drag trafficking, hidden entry of goods that don’t follow the right channels among others

(Publication info, 2017). This has increased on their association network and the increasing political

stands that support this legal business hence leading to the diplomatic threat of the United States

security. Most of the goods being imported are harmful since most of them are drugs and war weapons

to be used by terrorist groups.
