@9C9F9K311mos11MO
I believe it depends on the circumstances and the seriousness of the crime. I also believe they shouldn't be deported if it isn't safe for them to return to their own country
@9LM4P8Y6 days6D
If they have citizenship they should be able to stay though without they should be deported after a serious crime.
@9LH6Y49Bloc Québécois2wks2W
If illegal they should be sent back after serving their sentence. If legal they should serve their sentence.
@9L4PZ2KConservative4wks4W
They shall be held in prison for longer but unless they have there Canadian citizen ship they will serve the canadian sentence for that crime
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.
@9L24SNR1mo1MO
They should be sent to prison here, If they move here they are Canadian and should be punished as such, not become someone else's problem.
@9KYNQQ31mo1MO
Yes, but after they have completed serving their sentence and only if it's safe for them to return to their country
@9K3F9YCConservative2mos2MO
Yes, but after they have served their sentence and if they have good behaviour it can be reconsidered with community service.
@9JZ4BJ32mos2MO
Whether someone should be deported depends on the laws of the country and the seriousness of the crime.
@9JYPDGG2mos2MO
No, they should only have to serve their time then if they commit repeat offense it should be their replacement for jail time
@9JWLF6S2mos2MO

@9JVR75X2mos2MO
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.
@9JS8GNH3mos3MO
They should be imprisoned for what they did, but if they entered the country illegally they should be deported
@9JQ8T5J3mos3MO
No, unless they've entered illegally & it's safe for them to return to their home country, if it's not safe, then either keep them here or send them to another safe nation willing to take them in.
@9JNM5S73mos3MO
Yes, and do not allow any other immigrant from that country until that immigrant has been dealt with under their home countries justice system
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.
@9HKC2TY4mos4MO
If they have committed a crime, they should be banned from the country for a certain amount of time, then once that time period is done, they can return. However if their country is not safe, the should be allowed to stay or be moved to a different country.
@9HFM6PV5mos5MO
if they commit somthing super seirous like murder fraud or rape than yes but not if they do somthing smaller
@9HDX33G5mos5MO
No, only if they have entered the country illegally, if the country is safe to go back to and has served their sentence/punishment for the crime they committed.

They should be treated just as residents and citizens are treated after they commit a serious crime.

@9F955RV7mos7MO
@9F8XJM87mos7MO
illegal immigrants will be deported. legal immigrants legally living in the country for less then 5 years will be deported, If the legal immigrant has lived in the country for over 5 years they will serve there sentence then remain in the country like a normal citizen.
@9F8VWSZ7mos7MO
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.)
@9F7WWLJ7mos7MO
Only if they have been in Canada for less than a year
@9F7DNYY8mos8MO
Yes, but only if the crime is terrorism or terrorism related.
@9F75LBG8mos8MO
