Should immigrants be deported if they commit a serious crime?

Depends what the crime is. If they can do their time here then do it here but if its really bad send them back

no, they should be treated as if they are an equal, the same law should be unforced as they use on everyone else

They should go to jail for their sentence and then be released back into Australia and not deported.

No, providing they have lived in Australia for a period of 7 years or longer, or they have gained citizenship. If this is inapplicable, then they can be eligible for deportation.

It depends on the crime, if it's putting a large amount of people in danger to have them in the country then yes, but if its serious but wont be putting people in possible danger to have them around just have them treated as any other Australian citizen and place them in prison or other legal actions.

No, only if the crime is serious like murder or rape. If it is something like drug trafficking, rehabilitation programs should take place to help redeem themselves.

They can be deported if there countyr is safe, if not they can be sent to prison, as long as there proven guilty or have enough proof.

If they serve time for their specific crime and is trustable to be let out and live in our country and wants to stay, they have every right to as long as they obey the Australian laws.

In certain instances it seems appropriate, as an example if someone were to commit a terrorist act it's reasonable to deport them. However, if they commit manslaughter or attempt at murder they shouldn't be deported.

I believe if they become a citizen of Australia and adopt our rules they should be treated as Australian. So they will be treated as any other. However, if they have not received citizenship and have fommited a serious crime they should be deported. It also opens up the question as to what is classified as a serious crime.

Yes, if they are a repeat offender and commit a crime following their prison sentence

Yes, but only for violent or terrorism offences

If they are not citizens, that's fair

Each case should be assessed individually taking real consideration of the individual circumstances

If the crime is terrorism/against Australia, then yes. If it any other serious crime they should be sentenced like any other Australian

They should be dealt with the same as citizens.

Depends on the crime.p

What counts as an immigrant? Unless one is indigenous, we are all immigrants

If they have lived in Australia for more than 5 years than No but if they have lived in Australia for less than 5 years they should be deported if safe to do so.

No, but they should follow the Australian law for committing that crime

Depends on their visa status and the type of crime committed

Depends if they are Aussie without a passport - iow been here since 1 or 2 years old and then they ARE Aussie.

Yes, though we should not deport criminals that could face lesser or no conviction in their county of origin.

Yes, if the crime is a felony, violent, financial, or sexual crime

I believe they should serve their prison sentence the same as any other Australian.

Yes, but only if it is within the first 5 years living in Australia, otherwise they serve their sentence in Australia

I think immigrants should be treated the same as any other citizen.

No let them serve their time and stay

They should be given time in gaol like all other Australians

they should go to the same amount of respect as others

Yes and no depending on the crime and how many people it effected

yes and no, it depends on what kind of crime it is, how bad it is and how many people it effected. if they can get back to their country safely, yes.

Yes and No. Determine this on a case by case basis by examining whether the person is consistent with the countries values or not.

if its terrorism or murder yes. Anything else just put them in prison.

Yes, if their country is unsafe relocate elsewhere

Not if they grew up here, makes no sense if Australia taught them the cunningly way to send them to a country where they know no one

Yes, once crime is committed send them on their way, tax payers money is worth more spent else where than on housing them in jail

Yes if they do so during a probation period prior to becoming a citizen

Only murder nothing less

No, they should be sentenced the same as an Australian.

No, they should finish serving their sentence

No, they should be treated the same as a citizen who commits a crime

Yes. But only if they enter our country illegally. Australian taxpayers shouldn’t have to keep them in our prisons

Citizens no Residents and visa holders yes

No, not if they are now an Australian Citizen, or if they were born and raised in Australia.

Depending on definition of "serious crime" and danger to society

They should be able to choose if they want to serve time here or at home

Yes, but only if they arrived when they were adults and if it is safe to return to their own country

I’m a law abiding kiwi and terrified of this law
