In the last four years the flow of migrants entering and leaving Colombia has increased markedly, and most of the migrants leave their home countries with the aim of improving their living conditions, they are vulnerable and needy, therefore tend to fall into human trafficking networks, who promise them an arrival in North America, thus being exposed to dangerous situations such as sexual or physical abuse, labor exploitation, extortion or even reach critical situations such as death due to road conditions, temperature, lack of food/water suffering from dehydration and in some cases the appearance of dangerous animals. In addition, Panama is a country economically stable whose migratory flow is increasing. Also, the limited control of tax and migration generates that illicit activities are more profitable, among these is clearly the illegal trafficking of people, for this public policies with Colombia on irregular migration must be carried out, having a better and more efficient registry of people who cross their borders.
