They are not mistreating anyone. They are doing them a favor. They are offering Latvian citizenship to people who were formerly Soviet, not Latvian citizens.

In 1990, everyone living in Latvia was a Soviet citizen. When the USSR fell apart, therefore, every Soviert citizen living in Latvia became a Latvian citizen.

And there were Latvian citizens before 1991? Where? They were all Soviet citizens.
