Japanese Girl to Choose between her Family and her Country

Japan has strict immigration laws.  When they found out the Calderons were illegal immigrants, ten years after their entry, they decided to deport them.  Their 13 year-old daughter, who speaks only Japanese, was told to choose to move to the Philippines with her parents or stay in Japan without them.  The Calderons cannot return for 5 years.

That should not be a choice that a 13 year old girl should have to make. are their laws so strict that a minor would have to stay behind without her family? how come she was the only one with that option?
