@9JS8GNH1yr1Y
They should be imprisoned for what they did, but if they entered the country illegally they should be deported
@9B2X55C2yrs2Y

No, the majority of foreigners deported when they arrive in their country of origin are not properly penalized, which is why they should be penalized in the country where the crime was committed.

@999X7W52yrs2Y
only if they aren’t a citizen
@98YDF852yrs2Y
they should be treated the same as anyone else. However, if they entered the country illegally or are abusing the help given I think it should be looked into more.
@96SPRLYConservative2yrs2Y
It would depend on just how serious the crime was if their country was safe and they committed murder I would say yes
Depending on the type of the crime
@8QQZNMKConservative4yrs4Y
Yes, but depends on the crime. Ban them for a certain amount of time.
@8K82XPP4yrs4Y
it depends on how serious the serious crime is.
