Should immigrants be deported if they commit a serious crime?

In 2015 the U.S. House of Representatives introduced the Establishing Mandatory Minimums for Illegal Reentry Act of 2015 (Kate’s Law.)

This should depend on the situation and severity of the crime. We must also ensure that if they are deported, it is safe for them to go to their country, and also ensure that they will face consequences for their crime on Canadian soil in their home country.

 @9ZMK8WWfrom British Columbia  answered…5mos5MO

no, they should face the current punishment for their crime that abides by the laws of the place of which the crime was commited.

 @8Z5KNTPfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Only if it is safe for them to return to their home country and if they entered the country illegally.

 @8WM56DPfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8VNQSK3from British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8PLTR98from British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Deport them anyways

 @8PJHRBPConservativefrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

They should be exucuted

 @8MY89V4from British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, in fact, they should do the death penalty depending on how serious the crime is and where they're from like if they're from places who literally execute Canadian citizens in their countries for committing a crime there instead of sending them back as they should like in China.

 @Jatzuyufrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, only if they have not gained citizenship yet though.

 @8JSV5TLfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, if they were recent immigrants

 @98TXC9Cfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

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.

Kamala Harris is considering running for president again in 2028

Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat in the presidential race, unwinding with family and senior aides in Hawaii before heading back to the nation’s capital.But privately, the vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years. As Harris has repeated in phone calls, “I am staying in the fight.”She is expected to explore those and other possible paths forward with family members over the winter holiday season, according to five people in the Harris inner circle, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal dynamics. Her deliberations follow an extraordinary four months in which Harris went from President Joe Biden’s running mate to the top of the ticket, reenergizing Democrats before ultimately crashing on election night.“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”Harris concedes: 'We must accept the results of this election'SharePlay VideoMost immediately, Harris and her advisers are working to define how and when she will speak out against Donald Trump and reassert her own role in the Democratic Party. Closing out her term as vice president, she’s set to preside over certifying the November election she lost to Trump, and then appear at the once-and-future president’s inauguration on Jan. 20.“There will be a desire to hear her voice, and there won’t be a vacuum for long,” a person close to Harris said.At the same time, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, will have a long checklist to plow through before they leave the Naval Observatory for good.They have to decide whether they’ll take up permanent residence at their home in Los Angeles, or establish a base elsewhere. No matter where Harris and her family live, some around her have expressed concerns about safety, as her Secret Service protection expires six months after stepping away.
