How could criminals be identified in a system of open immigration?

You've in favor of open immigration, but not for criminals. However, governments can make mistakes about who's guilty or not and of what. What measures should the government take to exclude criminals? How much trouble and expense should the government take to only exclude actual criminals?

I think individuals in communities are capable of judging one's trustworthiness. The idea that we should continually punish criminals by excluding them defeats the idea of rehabilitation.
No rehabilitation is possible when said offender can never have the opportunity to rise above.
