No, but they should be served a sentence within this country.
@B37GBP81wk1W
it really depends on what the crime is, but also i think immigrants should be treated as all other citizens so they should be treated as everyone else who has been born and raised in aus would be, and if that means serving a sentence (not that i necissarily would agree with that on all basis', so be it).

It depends on the crime and the mental health of the individual and if it is safe for them to return to their country
@B3725771wk1W
No, only if they immigrated to Australia as an adult and it is safe for them to return to their country

yes if the crime was hateful , rape, murder, assault - if it was tax fraud etc treat them the same as we treat all the government people committing it

if you immigrate to this Nation and commit a serious offence such as Rape or murder, id go as far as execution
