- current situation:
- Mexico is a source, transit, and destination country for persons trafficked for sexual exploitation and labor;
- while the vast majority of victims are Central Americans trafficked along Mexico's southern border, other source regions include South America, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia;
- women and children are trafficked from rural regions to urban centers and tourist areas for sexual exploitation, often through fraudulent offers of employment or through threats of physical violence;
- the Mexican trafficking problem is often conflated with alien smuggling, and frequently the same criminal networks are involved;
- pervasive corruption among state and local law enforcement often impedes investigations
- tier rating:
- Tier 2 Watch List - Mexico remains on the Tier 2 Watch List for the third consecutive year based on future commitments to undertake additional efforts in prosecution, protection, and prevention of trafficking in persons, and the failure of the government to provide critical law enforcement data
