In 2015 the U.S. House of Representatives introduced the Establishing Mandatory Minimums for Illegal Reentry Act of 2015 (Kate’s Law.)

No, but they should be served a sentence within this country.
@B42J6NX1wk1W
Yes, but only if they have repeatedly committed such crimes. They should be treated like any other citizen first, then get deported if there is no signs of improvement.
@B3XZGQQ2wks2W
Their families could potentially be deported too even if cleared of wrongdoing. Tough consequences might help reduce crimes associated with migration.
@B3TSF3R2wks2W
A three strike system or similar should be implemented to distinguish between those able to be rehabilitated and those who can't.
@B3T23YD3wks3W
No. Deportation is barbaric especially when it endangers a person. Rehabilitation and reintegration. Every person has the right to this.
@B3RGH4V3wks3W
If they are a citizen, foreign or not, they should be allowed the same rights and should be allowed to undergo the proper trials, procedures and convictions and be permitted to, if it is their wish, stay in prison/jail in Australia.

One size never fits all. It would depend on the crime, if it was victimless (good luck finding one of those), whether or not real rehabilitation and restitution has taken place and, of course, if it is safe for them to be returned
@B3QHJXP3wks3W
Yes, unless they have become an Australian Citizen and it is safe for them to return to their original country of origin
