Why were they deported? Did the exceed their number of stay? Are they from what country? If the reason is strong then that's good for them being deported.

So they have finally decided to address this issue? Over the years it has been extremely easy how they allow people in, and they give us a tough time to go out.

Correct, it's easy for other countries to enter our country but on our side very hard and even impossible to enter into their country. They have to pay a visa.
