The problem is that there isn't a clear legal/illegal status for many people and when you add targets that staff are compelled to meet then in those situations the default position would be deportation rather than caution and that is what happened here.
The position should be that all illegal immigrants are deported when found but there isn't any point being a arbitrary number on it. For a start we don't have definitive numbers on how many of them there...
