only if they're not a full Canadian citizen
@9TZKMBH7mos7MO
They should serve their time, and be closely monitered afterwards and if they do bad stuff again, have them serve their time and deport them.
@9G9JDZ82yrs2Y
It could depend on what crime it is because if it's not serious and they aren't a threat there is no reason they should be deported
@9FNQL962yrs2Y
No they should be punished the same as people who live in the area
@9FL3H4H2yrs2Y
They should go to jail, I think
@9BWPS6M2yrs2Y
No, the majority of immigrants are honest, hard workers, just wanting to create a better life. However, we need to be tougher on gang related activities and those who commit serious crimes/ repeat offenders. We need to do like other countries and deport serious offenders and never permit reentry.
@9C8YBHH2yrs2Y
Yes, if the crime was committed within 10 years; however, if their country is even more dangerous, then no
@96KGPBCNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, It the crime is repeated multiple times
@9696BXS3yrs3Y
It depends on the severity and the circumstances of the crime.
@95JMYP73yrs3Y
no just get them to jail or something
No, they should have jail time in Canada
Depends, if they have permeant resident or are a citizen than no, but if they are on a work visa than yes.
@8VTC4C94yrs4Y
If they have family in the country they are from they should have a choice between where they will serve their sentence
@8VMXFDC4yrs4Y
Yes, but depending on the nature and severity of the crime.
@8R97F664yrs4Y
No, because that is not the proper way to make someone learn and ultimately grow and become a better person as a result.
No, they should be treated the same as Canadian citizens
@8HVZJVJ5yrs5Y
no they should be treated like the rest of us
@8DFVTYV5yrs5Y
This question assumes immigrants aren't citizens. Many immigrants are naturalized and should have the same rights and protections as Canadians born here.
@996L2JH2yrs2Y
No, they should be tried in Canadian court
@98VHLP22yrs2Y
Yes, after serving their sentence, if they entered the country illegally and it is safe to return
