Ben covered most of it for me well enough I think. We can find specific points that could be hypothetically unacceptable (probably pretty easily in fact) but in many (if not most or even all) of those cases an argument can also be made that those steps aren't necessary to accomplish the goal.

And, though I'd hope this is obvious I won't take it for granted, I'll go ahead and stipulate that I don't believe literally zero illegal entry is achievable. There's always a way for someone to slip through any net, the goal is to be as close to it as possible. That's where swift & sure enforcement of penalties after illegal entry comes into play, to deal with those who do slip through.
