Yes, but after they have finished serving their sentence
@9GFQV637mos7MO
There are to many variables to think about I would need a while, I think mostly it just depends on the case.
@ISIDEWITH7yrs7Y
No, only if they have entered the country illegally
They are considered a danger to the country of America. If the crime committed is of great volume and is terrible then they should not be allowed to reside in the U.S if they came in illegally.
@9LLNC954wks4W
It says immigrants. It doesn't say whther they came to the country legally or illegally, or what their status is. Immigrants are just people that migrated, moved from one country to another. People that MOVE are not automatically dangerous.
@ISIDEWITH7yrs7Y
No
@9F5HBFZLibertarian8mos8MO
Let’s create a pathway for citizenship, and reform the system. We should get them a basic test that’s not hard for them to pass.
@ISIDEWITH7yrs7Y
@cryingleftist4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as it is safe to return and they entered illegally.
@96YM5ZM2yrs2Y
This question is misleading. The question should say illegal immigrant rather than immigrant, which carries the connotation that they immigrated legally. An illegal immigrant should be deported and a legal immigrant should be prosecuted.
@9LLNC954wks4W
Agreed. (from AZ)
@8FYQYQH4yrs4Y
No, unless it is a very serious crime, and they are not yet US citizens
@8D8M3RN4yrs4Y
Yes, if they are illegal. No, if they are legal.
@9JM9ZRL3mos3MO
Yes, but after they have finished serving their sentence and illegal immigrants who commit murders should get the death penalty
No, they should go to jail in the U.S.
@96DW65F2yrs2Y
No, If they are citizens they can serve time.
@92VN6SK2yrs2Y
No, but they should still serve their sentence.
@8TR47T5Progressive3yrs3Y
No, they should serve a sentence in the US
@8DZMKH64yrs4Y
How serious are we talking??
@9L74FFC2mos2MO
If they’re illegal immigrants, they should be deported immediately. If they’re legal immigrants, they should be subject to U.S law.
@9B9XRGM1yr1Y
Only if they have not yet become citizens
@99HYW6K1yr1Y
depending on the serious crime.yes
@8SCGDX73yrs3Y
Yes, but after they have finished serving their sentence but if they commited a crime somewhere else then deport them
@8QRV2V63yrs3Y
Depends on the serious crime.
@8J534QZ4yrs4Y
No they should be tried by the justice system so that they will not be a risk of re-entering the country.
@8GLBDT94yrs4Y
Yes, unless they are US citizens
@99893Z41yr1Y
What is "serious"? Do you mean any immigrants or just undocumented ones?
@8FLR5T5Independent4yrs4Y
No, Only if they have entered the country illegally AND Be placed in a full security facility with a life sentence.
@8HXPYGNLibertarian4yrs4Y
Yes, if they are illegal immigrants; No, if they are legal immigrants
@95ZZS6BIndependent 2 days2D
If they are illegal and committed a serious crime, absolutely send them home. If they are legal and committed a serious crime, let them do the time in jail like others.
illegal immigrants who have committed serious crimes should be deported if it safe for them to return to their country of origin
@9M9HGZS6 days6D
the same way they wanted to be down here and stay, regardless of the individual depending upon your crime you will do your time and as a normal citizen and be treated so no, not deported if you do serious act you will get the chair.
@9M9H2TYPeace and Freedom6 days6D
depending how serious the crime was like murder or arcin not for going 5 miles over the speed limit or for stealing piece of bread
Only if they entered without documents and haven't been naturalized and it is safe for them to return to their home country, especially if they have children
@9M7VKSCRepublican1wk1W
Yes, but after they have finished serving a federally mandated sentence, that a sanctuary city must enforce.
@9M7HP891wk1W
Yes, if it is a serious federal crime and especially if they don't pose as useful to the country and will merely be taking up prison space.
@klawson 1wk1W
No, only if they have entered the country illegally, not a registered citizen, and it is safe to return to their country.
@9M4CHJ92wks2W
Automatically yes if it’s safe to return to their home country. But if it’s not safe, they should be held in custody or in some type of prison.
@9M26F4M2wks2W
I feel like they should do their jail time and be given another chance and if they mess up again then they get deported.
@9LZZFM2Republican2wks2W
Yes, but only if their country is not imperiled and they are determined able to find a place to stay and have their general needs addressed.
@9LZQ3572wks2W
this depends on the context of the crime. why and how they committed this crime, how they ended up in this situation, etc. this should be decided in trial. they should not always immediately be sent back to their country.
@9LYQ2QH2wks2W
Whoever comes into a country seeking refuge and commits a crime has no business staying in that country
