Imprisonment is extremely expensive, you have to house, feed, and to some level care for the people you imprison.
Giving them documents essentially means there’s no restriction on who can live in a country, and for desirable countries this would entirely overwhelm their economy (and other aspects of the country) when millions of people show up in too short of a timespan.
Killing them would be very bad, so getting rid of them via Deportation is the best remaining option.
The only other possibility I can think of would be giving them documents, but imposing harsh financial penalties (something like a permanent (or at least many years) 50% income tax rate or similar) that would both deter people, but also provide revenue to offset the extra costs to the system.
In like 2008 Hilary campaigned on deporting most illegals and some of them could stay if they paid back taxes and paid a fine. I think the “could stay” group would be people who had kids born here and the elderly.

Well, you don’t have to.
