It depends on how long they have been a resident of Canada
@9YL8WPJ5mos5MO
If they are a citizen, let them serve time like any other citizen but if they are on permanent residence, deport them after time served.
@9MFDJDK11mos11MO
I feel as if there should be a immigration rule for being deported similar to California's three strike rule
@9FPKYTH2yrs2Y
No, only if it was really serious
@93RYXVH3yrs3Y
Give them 3 chances if you they commit 3 crimes deport them
@93QZV7Z3yrs3Y
No, if they are legally in our country then they should be treated according to how we would treat anyone else who commits a serious crime in Canada.
@8WWTPCP3yrs3Y
Depends, if the country is going through big issues
@8VLJVZQ4yrs4Y
Should be equal to immigrants and non immigrants
@8TJ4HHL4yrs4Y
Only if there not a citizen. if completed citizenship and is not a illegal immigrant no.
@8T58B274yrs4Y
Immigrants shouldn't be treated less than the rest. You do to them what you would do to a canadian
@8SQ3CLR4yrs4Y
No, as long as they serve time here
@8QG54934yrs4Y
No, they have the same rights if they are citizens
@8Q2SNHD4yrs4Y
Depends on severity of crime.
@8PLDJDK4yrs4Y
They should be removed if they commit a felony, an there sponsor should face jail time.
@8FMTFZGConservative5yrs5Y
only if they have not become part of Canada

Depending on the crime commited, Yes. But if it's a harmless crime like stealing, tax evasion etc. I think it's best for the individual to be sentenced and do their time. If the individual entered the country illegally, It is fair to deport them.
@9CMSLDJNew Democratic2yrs2Y
They should be given a second chance and if there is they commit a serious crime again then they should be deported as long as its safe for them to return.
@98XT5XBNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes unless they are a legal citizen
@98F7NBY2yrs2Y
yes, but if they have their citzenship they should be allowed to stay
@B4PMRH4New Democratic1 day1D
No, unless its murder or rape etc. Immigrants made it to Canada they deserve a chance like everyone else.
