They just have to say they want to settle here and the government gives them their own ID card with an unlimited visa. So it’s very difficult for any of them to be illegal here. These 18.000 are mostly from the Indian subcontinent and north Africa.
You have some confusion between citizenship and nationality. I didn’t say they are granted nationality, I was talking about having full rights to live here and access to public health services, parenting benefits and nearly free university studies.
