Should immigrants be deported if they commit a serious crime?

If they aren't yet citizens

No, unless it is a major felony/sexual crime.

It depends if they are brought up here as a child, because then cultural differences play a huge role

If it is safe to do so then maybe. However, deporting an individual because of a serious crime does not necessarily solve or fix an issue. The offender may still continue to commit crimes even after they are deported.

I think it depends on the nature of the crime, does it show that they are using their immigration status to do crime, or is that a part of the crime's circumstance - the fact that they are an immigrant

Only if they have been rightfully convicted of a seriously felonious crime via a fair trial and they are not a documented citizen. If they have been documented already, then they should not be deported.

If illegal they should be sent back after serving their sentence. If legal they should serve their sentence.

Yes as long as they are not citizens and the crime was proven

Yes, It the crime is repeated multiple times

No, and they should be treated as if they are this country citizens

only when the crime very serious and have a bad impact all over the people.

Yes, but only if they have not been here for a long period of time (e.g. less than 3 years).

they should follow the law in current country and accept punishment

Yes, but only for the most serious of crimes

Not that clear cut

Yes, but it depends on the crime they comitted

Depends on crime and home country situation.

only if they've entered the country illegally and it is safe for them to return to their country

If they are an immigrant turned official citizen, than they should go to jail because they committed a crime. But if they are just an immigrant, I think they should still go to jail and go back to their country after the sentence (depending on how serious the crime is).

Depending on if the country they are getting deported to could kill them eg; North Korea

they should be treated the same as anyone who has lived here their whole life.

Yes, but only if they have not yet become citizens

If they are a Canadian citizen treat them as one. If they aren’t a Canadian citizen yet and they commit a very serious crime it should potentially be considered apart of their sentence in certain cases

Complicated. They should be tried and punished as all Canadians for first crimes and deported for any serious crime committed after the first?

if they have served their time and can prove innocence they should be fine

I think it depends on how serious the crime is. If it’s a really horrific crime, then yes, I think the person should be deported. If it’s a potentially serious crime, but nothing too dangerous as been enacted, then I think it should be up to the Canadian law to rule out the seriousness of the crime, then decide if deportation is necessary.

It depends on what the crime is, and how long they have lived in the country, and if it is safe to deport them.

Not if they became a Canadian citizen beforehand. And not if they’re home country is not safe. Deporting people with nothing to go home to is disgusting.

no, they should be punished equally as anyone else would be

Only if they are not citizens or permanent residents

Only depending on the type of crime and if it was intentional. And if it is safe to return to their home country

If it is safe to enter their own country, but also depending on the crime. People who have committed more severe crimes that pose a larger threat to Canadian safety should be deported, but illegal immigrants should not be.

I think this is a case by case basis.

No, if they have achieved citizenship, they should not be deported.

No, immigrants who have acquired either Canadian citizenship or permanent residency have the same right to be here as everyone else. However, foreigners without citizenship or permanent residency who are convicted of violent crimes should be deported in some cases.

Ask what they would prefer.

It depends on the situation at hand.

Lifetime sentence in jail.

Depends if none life threatening then no but murder or animal abuse and sexual assault on some occasions or hate crimes.

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.

Yes, only if they are not citizens. Each case determined on its own merit.

Only if they're not permanent residents.

No, immigrants that enter the country should receive the same rights as well as the same punishments as other citizens of our country.

No, unless it's a violent crime, in which case they should still serve their time here first.

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

if they committed a serious crime , then yes

No, but they should have to serve a prison sentence

No, if they are citizens and have lived in Canada for the majority of their lives they should be incarcerated the same as a Canadian citizen.

Depending on the type of crime. if it is self-defense based, then no. they should not.
If it is a one time offense depending on the gravity of a situation, an assessment and psychological evaluation should be made to ensure that they are not a danger to society. if they are judged dangerous, then yes they should be deported as long as it is safe for them to return to their country. otherwise they should serve their sentence here.

No, if they are a Canadian Citizen, they should be tried in Canada and stay in Canada

it depends on where they come from and if they commit a serious crime they should just go to jail

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.

No, because they have a reason for leaving their country and if they committed a serious crime it could also be initiated by citizens who don't want immigrants in their country. So they should serve their sentence and be given a chance to prove themselves worthy of staying in the country

Not if they are a citizen and not if it is unsafe for them to return

No, they should be treated the same as other citizens

No, immigrants should be punished according to their crime and not their entry method.

Yes unless they are a legal citizen

Only if they have a repetition of crime behaviour.

No, but they must serve the sentence.

No, just serve their sentence for however many years it is. But sometimes the government can be tough because of the racism sometimes and it's mostly the POC, immigrants etc that serve a longer sentence than people who are from that area/country.

Yes, only for felonies of a violent nature

Yes, only if they're not a citizen AND they have committed treason, murder, rape, or any form of crime that endangers society.

Yes, unless they have obtained US citizenship

No, only if they have entered the country illegally and committed a violent felony or trafficked cartels of the most lethal drugs.

no, they share the equal rights as local citizens.

Yes, depending on the case and individual situation

they should serve their sentence

No, but they should serve prison.

Yes, after a trial to determine their guilt or innocence and if guilty is transferred to the prison system in their home country.

Yes, if they have entered the country illegally and committed felonies of a violent nature

No, only if they have entered the country illegally and committed a violent felony or trafficked cartels of the most lethal drugs

Yes, but only if they are an ileagal immigrant

Yes, if they have entered the country illegally and committed a felony or felonies
