UK is a soft touch, if immigration or police catch an Illegal immigrant, they will almost with certainty be given bail, be told to report back to immigration weekly because there is no where to hold them, and then some will vanish. those that don't will try a lengthy appeal process, claim asylum, marry a eastern european to stay here, and those that don't will refuse and struggle to stop being deported, thats why such a small number are being deported
