"Sexual trafficking includes coercing a migrant into a sexual act as a condition of allowing or arranging the migration. […] Trafficked women and children, for instance, are often promised work in the domestic or service industry, but instead are sometimes taken to brothels where they are required to undertake sex work, while their passports and other identification papers confiscated."
Here the closed boarders play a role. When those people won't even try to contact the police because of beeing afraid that they will be put in jail and then sent back, the closed boarders are a good thing for human traffickers, even though it makes getting in and out of a country a bit harder.
Also I could imagine, if the boarders where open, people would be more likely to just try their luck in an other country than getting in touch with some creep promising wonderland for a fee.
I don't think rgbrenner's response was in favor of closed borders, but in correcting the previous poster's confusion over what human trafficking is. As it were, if the borders were open folks wouldn't have to use shady agencies and immigration traffickers to get in at all, but could rather just save some money for a ticket and finding a job.
