Coming to America to make a better life has long been a dream of many from around the world, even if it means being smuggled into the country to gain entry.

Zhang covers the scope and patterns of global human trafficking and smuggling activities; the strategies and methods employed by various groups to bring individuals into the United States; major smuggling routes and venues; the involvement of organized criminal organizations in transnational human smuggling activities; and the challenges confronting the U.S. government in combating these activities.

This book was more general than Zhang's research into the Chinese operations of human smuggling and it contained some of the same information/stories. It was still intriguing, but seemed to sacrifice depth for breadth.
