What you describe is the principle of presumption of innocence. Shame it seems to be a lost concept in the land of the free nowadays.

You could argue that presuming you're an alien implies that rights given by law don't necessarily apply to you. It's far worse than being presumed guilty.

I feel it goes a bit beyond that, because at this point it's also the presumption that those governments are operating recklessly and with knowing dishonestly.
