Recomendamos evitar el uso del término "contrabandista humano" por ser un calco deficiente de la adjetivación en inglés. Es cierto que el contrabandista es un ser humano, pero en este caso se busca indicar que son los seres humanos, las personas, quienes son objeto del contrabando. 6, record 12, Spanish, - contrabandista%20de%20seres%20humanos
