A total of 80 respondents were interviewed, including immigration officers, police officers, immigration police and communities. Data collected were analyzed by a computer programme (Statistical Package for Social Scientist (SPSS) Version 16. The study was conducted in the Dar es Salaam city which is located on the East Africa Coast because the city is the center of commerce, industries and trade and also major outlet to other parts of East and Central Africa. Such activities contribute to the growth of the city and bring in many people for business purpose. The sample selected from the population using purposive and stratified sampling. The basic approach used to collect data was through questionnaire which involved structured questions. The questionnaires were administered to the respondents by personal delivery mode of distribution.
