Should immigrants be deported if they commit a serious crime?

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

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

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

Give them 3 chances if you they commit 3 crimes deport them

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

Immigrants should have the same sentence as somebody that’s not an immigrant.

it depends the crime. if the crime has anything to do with self defense or protecting their family, no they should not be deported. If it was a crime where the defendant was committing the crime out of malice, they should. be deported.

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

Yes and every single relative!!!

Depends on the serious crime committed

We should help them

Yes, if it is safe for them to return and the individual circumstances of the offence are actually serious (not just deemed indictable for immigration purposes when they’re actually hybrid offences that proceeded summarily in criminal court)

Depending on the type of crime committed

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.

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

Depends What the crime is

No, only if this poses a repetitive and actual extreme danger to the country.

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.

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.

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

Only if the crime is violent, sexual, or a hate crime.

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

Not only immigrants but anyone who commits a serious crime should be kicked out of the country

yes, with evidence

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

If their home country is unstable, or is at war. They should stay.

yes if their not yet a confirmed Canadian citizen

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

It depends on how harsh the crime is

No, only if they themselves entered the country illegally, if they son/daughter were to commit a crime not knowing of their background, they shouldn't be deported, rather penalized.

Only if it would be safe for them to return

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

No, they should be put in jail in canada

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.

If they commit murder they should be deported and also serve their sentence here

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

It depends how bad the crime is but I personally think yes

Depends on the crime and living situation

Only if these commit very serious crime (murder, sexual abuse)

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.

Yes, if it’s safe for them to return to their country and they entered Canada illegally

No. I think violent crimes are a result of desperation, lack of resources, and being shut down in a system. I think we should have more programming to support success among new Canadians. If they commit a violent crime, provide the support they need. Don't tear apart families. If it's a refugee, be compassionate -- they clearly left for a reason. Don't send them back to a dangerous place.

Depends on the severity of the crime. Hate-based or religion-based etc.

No, they should be required to serve their sentence and then stay.

No, rehabilitate them and give them a path to citizenship

No, but they should serve prison.
