The aim of the article is an economically analysis of the motivations and ways of operation of smugglers and migrants by verifying the hypothesis that combating illegal smuggling of migrants is extremely difficult due to mutual benefits obtained by participants of transactions concluded on the market of services supporting migration. In addition, these benefits result from the systematic reduction of the risk of human rights abuse during migration under the influence of market and technological factors. Economic factors determine the high level of adaptability of the migrant smuggling market to the used migration policy instruments through flexible prices and shifting costs to migrants. As a result, the European Union's tougher migration policy may lead to a worsening of human rights standards in the process of smuggling migrants.
