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.

@B4BM96J2wks2W
The question is poorly worded. Have they already obtained citizenship/ PR status, which would make them immigrants or are you referring to migrants as indicated in your "learn more" tab...
@B4BJ8992wks2W
Yes, but every case should be treated differently. If there is aggravating factors such as rape or murder, then the person should be deported.
@B45ZFDY 3wks3W
No make them serve their time where they committed the crime, deportation after time served is continuous punishment
@B4DJNCP2wks2W
Yes, unless it was "ethical" (ex: assaulting someone to defend family from physical attack, theft to survive, etc...)
@93CT7VZ3yrs3Y
Yes but only if the serious crime is violent or otherwise directly harmful to people rather than a company etc.
@935T7R93yrs3Y
I think it depends on how serious the crime is, and if it caused harm to someone intentionally. Even then, they should be tried and sentenced the same as a Canadian citizen would be. In absolute worst case, they should only be deported if it is safe for them to return to their country.
@8YQTVFL3yrs3Y
No, sentences are served here
@8YC6HXM3yrs3Y
It depends on their status. If the person is a Canadian citizen (including dual citizens), a permanent resident of Canada, a person registered under the Indian Act , or a protected person (refugee status), then no.
If there status is anything else (visitor visa, worker permit, etc.), and they commit serious criminality and are convicted of that crime, then yes. There should be an appeal process depending on the crime the person was convicted of.
@8XKT3BG3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if the crime was committed within the first 5 years since they have immigrated in the Country and only after they have finished serving their sentence here, also if they have entered the country illegally then yes, they Should be deported immediately after they have finished serving their sentence here.
Yes , they should be deported if they commit any criminal offence .
@8VP82LV4yrs4Y
it depends if they have a safe place to go
@8VNR9K64yrs4Y
depends on the sentencing
@8VMRQ2F4yrs4Y
no but give them the same punishment as the citizens in the country
@8VM4PZCConservative4yrs4Y
if it is something very bad than anyone should be deported.
@8VLLX6H4yrs4Y
Depends on the crime. They are too strict on small offences. Onle crimes of a sexual or violent nature should be deported
@8VKF4694yrs4Y
Only if they have not served any time for their crime
@8VCTPNJConservative4yrs4Y
They should face our federal law system and serve our punishment, they should be deported if they entered illegally.
@8VCMBRP4yrs4Y
it dapants on what they did but i thin not
Depending on the type of crime committed
@8V2WM4KConservative4yrs4Y
They should be thrown in jail forever, the same as any other criminal that commits a serious crime such as rape (serious and life-altering to the victim) or murder (except in the case of self-defense, such as a woman who is being domestically abused. They should be given a medal.).
@8R28YGL4yrs4Y
Yes, if not already Canadian citizens
@8PN2LGY4yrs4Y
it depends on how serous the crime is and if any one got killed
@8P5N3XX4yrs4Y
No, but they should have to serve a prison sentence
@8M6PRNV4yrs4Y
What constitutes a "serious" crime?
@8K76JSQNew Democratic4yrs4Y
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.
@8FB86GLNew Democratic5yrs5Y
No, if they are a Canadian Citizen, they should be tried in Canada and stay in Canada
No, they commited the crime here, they will pay the price here.
@8DG6C635yrs5Y
No, deportation of immigrants is not a good solution. Instead of deporting someone who has committed a major crime, we should monitor their activities in their personal lives, and their careers. On the other hand, we can deprive them from some social and residential rights.
@98GJKD82yrs2Y
Yes, unless they have obtained their Canadian citizenship
Only felonies, sexual and other sever crimes they should be deported
@8RSN5S34yrs4Y
They are a citizen already, it makes no sense
@8NR6HD84yrs4Y
yes, depending on the circumstances of why they did what they did
@8ML6TV34yrs4Y
@8HLXBVQ5yrs5Y
Depends on the severity of the crime. Hate-based or religion-based etc.
@8H74MVG5yrs5Y
Yes if they have entered the country illegal, but no if they are residents or citizens.
