In 2015 the U.S. House of Representatives introduced the Establishing Mandatory Minimums for Illegal Reentry Act of 2015 (Kate’s Law.) The law was introduced after San Francisco 32 year old San Francisco resident Kathryn Steinle was shot and killed by Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez on July 1, 2015. Lopez-Sanchez was an illegal immigrant from Mexico who had been deported on five separate occasions since 1991 and been charged with seven felony convictions.

No, they should serve their sentence in Canada
No, but he have to go to the jail like if he killed someone, he have to go life in jail or something like that.
@9JVR75X1yr1Y
I think it fully depends on the crime. If it was a act of terrorism against that country then yes, but a serial killer shouldn't be deported only put into jail.
No if they are full citizens or permanent residents. Yes if they are not full citizens and their country is safe to return to
The government system should be able to make sure the immigrant's homeland is safe and alright to live in. They should also check if the immigrants is changed person or undergo therapy and help.
@9FVYQK32yrs2Y
Yes, but after they have finished serving their sentence or make a process to continue stay in Canada.
should face consequences but not be deported
Just serve their sentence
Yes and No. Yes if they have been charged multiple times No because if theyre a legal citizen, they should only finish their senetence.
yes, if they do not have a permanent citizenship have served their sentance and its safe for them to return to their country
If they have become a citizen they should serving the sentence but non citizen should srrve and in the end if they plead innocnet or are clear now should stay however if they continue, they should get deported whereas I think a refugee should serve but also be given another chance seince they come as a refugee and getting deported would be serious and harmful to them
it depends on how big the crime is if it is a act of terroirsm than yes if not than just do your time in jail
Yes but if it is so serious then there should be a death penalty reenacted just for non-residents of Canada
@9KM36XP1yr1Y
Yes as long as its safe, and will be legally punished in their country as well ( as long as they pay for their crimes basically)
Only if the serious crime is terrorism, first degree murder or any sexually violent crime/human trafficking
no they should be put into a prison in canada just like anyone else who is a canadien citizen because most of them have families kids
@9FMP7H22yrs2Y
either they serve there punishment here or at there home country
@9BN6JRT2yrs2Y
No, if they have attained Canadian Citizenship. They are then Canadians and treated as such. Yes, deport if they have yet to attain citizenship.
If we accept them as our own citizens, we should treat them as our own citizens. Justice should be blind and fair.
Only for terrorist attacks.
Yes, but they should be allowed to return again
@95JY84J3yrs3Y
No, It depends on the type of crime.
No, they should have jail time in Canada
immigrants should not be deported even after committing serious crime because all people desereve a better life and another chance.
No, they should serve their sentence then go back to living in Canada if they are here legally.
@93RYXVH3yrs3Y
Give them 3 chances if you they commit 3 crimes deport them
@93RQZFC3yrs3Y
It depends on the crime but I don't think so.
Not necessarily, but if it is too serious then they should be.
they should justspend their time
No, as long as they serve their sentence
@8ZKWRYP3yrs3Y
Immigrants who endanger national security should be deported.
@nobodyspecialLiberal3yrs3Y
They should have the same treatment as Canadian citizens.
@8YX56XS3yrs3Y
i think they should get in truble but not deported
Depends on the severity of the crime. If not too serious then no, if so then we should consider it rather than doing it immediately, only then we can arrive at a decision.
It dependes about the cirscunstances, in that way its complicated have a side.
Yes, after they've finished their sentence AND if its safe to return to their country.
@8WJRDM54yrs4Y
no, they should be allowed to receive the same punishment as anyone else
This should depend on the circumstances of the crime
I agree as long as they go to jail in their country.
Jail sentence, they should not be deported.
Only if it is a serious violent crime other wise no they live here too
Depends on circumstance. Every situation is different.
Depends upon the crime. What is "serious"?
yes, as long as it was a serious crime.
Yes, but only for violent crimes, ex. Murder, rape, kidnapping, etc.
@8VCGCPS4yrs4Y
immigrants shouldn't be deported but just sentenced. They should be treated like everyone. My answer is, 'No'.
It depends on the situation, if it is a crime that is committed through pure accident, no they should not. I.e Humboldt's crash.
Murder, sexual assault, terrorism. Send them back
No, they should serve time in jail as Canadian born citizens would
@8TJL9RH4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as they are in the country illegally and it's safe in their country for them.
@8TH4QX44yrs4Y
they should serve their time, and be punished accordingly
They shouldn't be deported, they should be treated as any other Canadian citizen and receive the appropriate punishment for the offense committed.
@8T25G6C4yrs4Y
Yes as long as they have finished their sentence and only if it is safe back in their country.
It depends on the crime, if someone who was born here commits the same crime and doesn't get deported that's unfair
@8STS6P64yrs4Y
It depends on the crime...
@8SLTY2H4yrs4Y
It depends how big the crime is
depending how serious and dangerous the crime was and the intention of the person comitting the crime
They should just go to prison at the Country they are currently in
criminals should be detained in Canada if they commit a serious crime because the countries they are deported to might not have a strict detaining system. They should be detained in Canada, then after their sentence is over, they should be deported to their home countries.
No, they should take time in prison like any other Canadian citizen.
no, they should serve their time like every citizen
@8R68FBS4yrs4Y
they should serve their time in our country and eventually be released back into our country
If they are a Citizens then they cannot be "deported" and are entitled to serve their time under our legal system. Work visa, landed immigrants, refugees, etc... should be deported for violent premeditated crimes. The circumstances need to be considered.
no i think giving them punishment like jail for sometime is better than being deport
Yes, as long as it is safe in their own country intel then they will remain in our prison system.
No, depends of the crime they committed
Yes but after they have served there sentence and also depending on the severity of the crime
Yes, if they have commited the serious crime as an adult and it is safe for them to return to their country
@lilzzain4yrs4Y
The crime happend in this country, so he has to get what he deserves, here. If the immigrant gets deported, you basically sent a bad person to another country where he's going to continue doing what he did. It's better to put him in jail or send him back but even there, he should be in jail.
Yes, if they have not become Canadian Citizens
@8PLTR984yrs4Y
@8PKCH4J4yrs4Y
No, until they have a proper court hearing.
They should serve time if they commit a serious crime.
it depends on the severity of the crime and they are our citezens now so they should not be deported in general because this is their country too
If it is a murder or a bad crime
If they commit murder they should be deported and also serve their sentence here
No, they should be treated the same as Canadian citizens
No, but they should serve a long sentence here
It depends on what crime they committed and why they did tho.
No, they commited the crime here, they will pay the price here.
@8CRSHY45yrs5Y
No, unless it is an act of terrorism or same idea. e.g. mass killings, etc.
Yes, if the crime is a severe offense.
@9CMXZ9N2yrs2Y
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.
They should not because if they want to undo their mistake it's hard to in a diferent country
Yes, as long as it is safe for them to return to their country. If not, they should fid oh serving their sentence
@9BY5TCL2yrs2Y
They should be dealt with the same way that non-immigrants are dealt with if they do a serious crime.
firstly need to know the reason behind this step of criminal
I think they should just be given a life sentence no need to deport them u don’t know how there country is
We will let the court decide on the severity of the said crime.
@999X7W52yrs2Y
only if they aren’t a citizen
Parque que eles não podem ser presos no país em q se encontrar?
yes, after serving their sentence and then deport them if it is safe to
No, they should be tried as a citizen of Canada would be.
