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.

Yes, but only if the crime was violent, sexual, or anything that endangers the livelihood of others.
@9BBCGYY2yrs2Y
It depends on how long they have been a resident of Canada
@9YL8WPJ5mos5MO
If they are a citizen, let them serve time like any other citizen but if they are on permanent residence, deport them after time served.
@9TQ5P3T7mos7MO
No, and they should only be deported if they have entered the country illegally and have finished serving their sentence
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
@9QPSQLX10mos10MO
Depending on how serious the crime is and how definite the suspect is, I think they should get deported if they are at risk of doing it again or have a criminal history unless their country is not safe for them.
@9MFDJDK11mos11MO
I feel as if there should be a immigration rule for being deported similar to California's three strike rule
@9K9Z4NB1yr1Y
If they came to Canada with the intent of committing a serious crime such as mass murder, genocide, human trafficking, etc. then yes they should be deported.
@9FPKYTH2yrs2Y
No, only if it was really serious
@93SV8HBNew Democratic3yrs3Y
they should follow the law in current country and accept punishment
No, but possibly depending on the seriousness of the crime and if it is safe for them to return to their country.
@93RYXVH3yrs3Y
Give them 3 chances if you they commit 3 crimes deport them
@93RSLYS3yrs3Y
no, they should not be deported. they should be treated like any other person in court and serve out their sentence. they may have immigrated because of the safety issue in their home country.
@93RQZFC3yrs3Y
It depends on the crime but I don't think so.
@93RPFX53yrs3Y
If they are already Canadian citizens, they should not be able to get deported.
@93QZV7Z3yrs3Y
No, if they are legally in our country then they should be treated according to how we would treat anyone else who commits a serious crime in Canada.
@92XFD6W3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as they have entered the country illegally and it is also safe for them to return to their country.
@8YZ6YTS3yrs3Y
Depends on the crime its self, rather they have entered the country legally and rather it is safe to return to their country. Needs to be assed on a case by case account.
@8WWTPCP3yrs3Y
Depends, if the country is going through big issues
@8VLJVZQ4yrs4Y
Should be equal to immigrants and non immigrants
If they have not become a citizen then status should be taken
@8TVTDBR4yrs4Y
Yes, only if they are not Canadian citizens
@8TJJNGRConservative4yrs4Y
They can stay in the country but just in jail or hospital of some sort.
@8TJ4K2Q4yrs4Y
Depends on the crime committed, situation in their country, immigration status, etc.
@8TJ4HHL4yrs4Y
Only if there not a citizen. if completed citizenship and is not a illegal immigrant no.
@8T58B274yrs4Y
Immigrants shouldn't be treated less than the rest. You do to them what you would do to a canadian
It depends on the crime, if someone who was born here commits the same crime and doesn't get deported that's unfair
@8SQ3CLR4yrs4Y
No, as long as they serve time here
@8QGQGJKConservative4yrs4Y
No, Because they should be put through our justice system if they commited a crime in Canada.
@8QG54934yrs4Y
No, they have the same rights if they are citizens
@8Q2SNHD4yrs4Y
Depends on severity of crime.
@8PLDJDK4yrs4Y
They should be removed if they commit a felony, an there sponsor should face jail time.
@8LGXJZP4yrs4Y
no, only if they are not citizens
@8FMTFZGConservative5yrs5Y
only if they have not become part of Canada
@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.
@9CMSLDJNew Democratic2yrs2Y
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.
@98XT5XBNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes unless they are a legal citizen
@98F7NBY2yrs2Y
yes, but if they have their citzenship they should be allowed to stay
@986ZDV42yrs2Y
If they entered illegally, they should serve their time then be deported
@8DTFW3X5yrs5Y
no, they should be treated like every other person
@B4PMRH4New Democratic1 day1D
No, unless its murder or rape etc. Immigrants made it to Canada they deserve a chance like everyone else.
