A Guatemalan man, Miguel, had a group of people help him secretly get through Mexico and into the United States. But when he crossed the border, the people who helped him demanded a lot of money. When he couldn’t pay, he was forced to work for the group. Which luring method is best described in this scenario?

Miguel agreed to be smuggled across the border, but the group then demanded money he could not pay and forced him to work instead. This is payment for smuggling used to trap someone in forced labor. An offer of work is not the method described; the debt created by the smuggling payment is the key detail.
