The State wants to remove from Society without individual Due Process.
Whether or not they've committed crimes, are children, disabled, gainfully employed or unemployable, these people are chosen for a specious social status determined by the State to be criminal (i.e., culture, religion, employment, housing, or immigration status) and held en mass to be removed from Society.

That's what a Concentration Camp is for.
