In both US and UK immigration law isn't law. It's government edicts. Which means parliament chooses not to have a say and just leaves it 100% in the hands of the executive (Prime minister or president respectively).

Mens rea is beside the point, until the government violates other laws (and enough for famously reluctant to convict the government courts to take notice)

Likewise, proof doesn't matter.
