Should immigrants be deported if they commit a serious crime?

If they are a canadian citizen then no. They should be treated like any other citizen.

If they are citizens of Canada they should be tried as Canadians, if they are not yet they should be deported unless they won't be safe in their home country (ie. they are of an identity that will face persecution, they are personally at risk if they return, or if the punishment for their crime would be inhuman such as torture or the death penalty.)

If they are a citizen then no. If they are a non citizen who has been deemed a danger to remain in Canada than yes, but even in that instant only so long as their country of origin is safe for them to return to.

If they're a citizen then no. If they have t become citizen, yes. If it's safe

Depends on if they've become a Canadian citizen, then no. If they haven't and the crime is violent, then yes...as long as it's safe to return to home country

I think that we should not deport a person from Chad to say. Back to their own country, for that person not to get arrested there and ravage a less safe country, we should help this person, put them through treatments, and putting them in the longest timeline of jail.

Depends. If it was murder through self defence, then it could be argued that they can stay. If they’re committing crimes such as first degree murder/rape, they must go

Only for terrorist attacks.

No however there should be harsher punishments if the crime is serious

No, they should serve their sentence then go back to living in Canada if they are here legally.

No, they should serve time in the country they immigrated to

It depends on the crime, and only if it is safe to return to their country

If they committed a crime that would harm the country or people in the country to the point where there is no coming back, but they could also just go to jail.

Yes, but only for the most serious of crimes

As long as they're not a Canadian citizen and the crime is a serious one

They should have the same treatment as Canadian citizens.

not if they are a legal citizen

Depending on if the country they are getting deported to could kill them eg; North Korea

no, they should be allowed to receive the same punishment as everyone else

Only if it was extremely serious, affects the security of the nation or involves the death of a person without accepting responsibility for that death.

Depends if they have full citizenship or not

It depends on the circumstances and who they have in the country

Yes, as long as it is safe to do so and only if the crime was murder.

No, they should be charged in the country they are in

Depends on the crime. They are too strict on small offences. Onle crimes of a sexual or violent nature should be deported

Only if it is a serious violent crime other wise no they live here too

No, if they committed the crime in our country then they should go through our country’s processes

Depends on the serious crime committed

Yes if it’s for murder or similar severity

After two yes

We should help them

Yes until they become permanent residents

If it is safe to enter their own country, but also depending on the crime. People who have committed more severe crimes that pose a larger threat to Canadian safety should be deported, but illegal immigrants should not be.

If we had implements in place to aid the immigrants that the government itself approves to enter to country this wouldn't be an issue in the first place.

Yes! They should be sent back to their home country if they’ve committed ANY type of crime. Why is this even a question?!?!

Depending on the type of crime committed

Only if they never had citizenship and it is safe for them to return to their country of origin. If they are citizens then they should be imprisoned in Canada.

It would depend on the severity of their crime as well as their current citizen status.

Sometimes, and particularly of they are not yet citizens.

serve their time and let them stay

No, they should serve time in jail as Canadian born citizens would

If they serve their sentence they should not be deported

Depending on the severity of the crime, and how said crime poses a threat to society if that type of behaviour continues, then yes

It depends on the circumstances of the crime.

Depends on what kind of crime

Depends on what the crime was, if they've served their sentence and if there's no fear that they will be a danger to their own country/its people.

No, only if they have entered illegal unless it is unsafe to return to their country

It depends on the crime...

No, if they are an official citizen then they receive punishment given by Canadian law

Hugely dependent on crime severity. Violent crimes and assault or endangerment to the public.

Dependant on crime.

I think it depends on severity of the crime, time served, and whether or not there has been genuine human rehabilitation.

I believe that as long as they serve a jail sentence for their crimes, it doesn't matter to me personally whether they serve their time here or their home country.

yes and no. although it still depends on the records of the individual

If they are a legal citizen of the country, they should serve their jail sentence within the country.

Only if they're not permanent residents.

depending on the crime and past criminal record

Depending on the crime and if it is safe to return to their country

Yes, if they have not been granted citizenship, then they should be deported and not imprisoned on taxpayers dime.

Yes, if the crime is sever and the individual could be a greater threat to Canadian society

Only if it is a sexual or violent crime such as homicide

Yes, depending on the severity. First degree murder and rape should be reason to send immigrants back to their original country as long as its safe to return, if its murder done in protection for themselves i believe they should have the right to stay in Canada

No as long as they go to jail

Depends on their immigration status.

If they have become a Canadian citizen they should be treated as an other Canadian citizen would be treated in that situation.

Case by case basis to be determined in a court of law

Depends on what the crime was and how you define a serious crime.

Only if it the crime was malicious/violent in nature.

No, they should serve their time or take whatever penalties any other Canadian would receive.

Only if it would be safe for them to return

Depends on the severity of the crime if it’s murder yes if it’s arson maybe if it’s involuntary manslaughter then no

Honestly it just depends, there’s always two sides to a story

Only if they are not citizens or they pose a serious risk to Canada and their home country is safe

No, only if they have entered the country illegally, or if they are not a Canadian citizen.

No, they should be put in jail in canada

No unless they did not immigrate I seek refuge in Canada Running from violence it’s and you need to send someone back to a broken country but if they are from a country where they are not in danger then yes

Just go to jail

No, they should be tried as any Canadian

Yes, if they were recent immigrants

It depends on how long they've been in the country and what they did.

depends on the severity of the crime, how long they've been in canada and how safe it is for them to return

Depends on the crime and living situation

yes only if that is an intentional and meditated crime as in stealing or murdering. Not traffic violations

I believe they should serve their sentence here in Canada because they are a citizen here now. Deporting them wouldn’t make sense because they need to face the consequences of their actions.

if they're a citizen and charged then they're a Canadian citizen. if they're a permanent resident then they should serve their sentence and see the court to determine their staying in Canada or not

Yes, if the crime is a severe offense.

If the act is directly done in the hope of seriously damaging the country, yes. If not, they serve time like all Canadians.

Depending on the severity of there crime

No they should serve time here and pay their debt to our society

No, they should be treated the same as other citizens

They should be punished the same way just like every one else in Canada

Immigrants are committing serious crimes enough for this to even be a question

It depends on how long they've been in the country. Some people came here from a very young age and are a product of Canada's environment and not their country of origin.

Prison Systems outside of NA aren't safe, and can't be regulated by our country, deporting criminals without a request of them or their original country can put them in horrible living conditions especially in prison.

Did the person steal a candy bar or a child? There’s a difference

If they are failed to be rehabilitated and commit again they should go back

Depending on the type of the crime

They are a citizen already, it makes no sense

They should receive a punishment like any other citizen.
