Yes you have to wonder about the naivety or stupidity or agenda of those who refuse to accept that this is widespread and the numbers are large. The authorities clearly can't cope with the relatively small numbers they're catching so there's little incentive to try to find more. Better to give the illusion of taking action when the truth would be embarrassing in the extreme. Illegals can't be removed unless their papers can be found and their country of origin agrees to accept them back. If they can argue they'd be at risk by being sent home they won't be, even if that risk is entirely due to illegal activities they've committed here. The fact that resorting to illegality could be used by some a means by which to avoid deportation says it all. The 'system' is utterly unfit for purpose.
