Abstract: Economic superpower USA receives a large number of illegal immigration each year.The main dilemma is USA needs illegal immigration for continuing activities of the country, but a section of citizen does not share liberal views.They blame that illegal immigrants are curtailing many of their facilities which they used to enjoy.As a result, four major categories of policies have been implemented with antiimmigration sentiments.Interestingly, the policies that have taken to reduce flow of illegal immigration are not meant to stop illegal immigration.This paper tries understands public and private interest dilemma in the context of immigration policies starting from 1790.Moreover, a critical examination of the problem raised a serious question whether US has ever took a serious effort to stop illegal immigration.Do polices playing hide and seek with illegal immigrants?
