A straw man argument. (No doubt such people exist, but on the fringe.) From that you build an unfounded binary argument.
It’s just basic logic: just because it’s not a good idea to let anyone immigrate anywhere without restriction doesn’t make it a good idea to put people in prison on scant evidence.
(I wonder why do you image that when basic principles of justice and the rule of law like due process are gone, this won’t be turned on you and yours?)

An entirely separate question, is it not? Unless you’re saying criminality is inherited?
