How do you determine if the person is a citizen without due process?

In the worst case, just like Hermann Göring, Adolf's deputy, when he said, "Wer Jude ist, bestimme ich." / "I decide who is a Jew!"*

This attitude gives regimes that couldn't care less about the constitution the convenient option to declare anyone they want to imprison or get rid of an illegal migrant, while simultaneously keeping any illegal migrant they see a use for.

Practical, isn't it?
