Abstract
This chapter intends to demonstrate, using the 2000 Palermo Protocol against the smuggling of migrants and Canadian examples, that the fight against migrant smuggling uses essentially repressive means, which shows a simplistic understanding of the phenomenon, can prove dangerous for the migrants, and completely disregards the protection needs of refugees.
