Should immigrants be deported if they commit a serious crime?

Depends on how serious the crime, the justice system can be cruel and unfair to those who are a minority. I feel there should be a very clear line of what is deemed serious enough. For example murder.

Yes, but instead of being imprisoned, instead their would-be sentence in prison should be how long they are barred from the country.

Yes: we should not have to fund their incarceration here, and their safety in their home country is not our concern

When they have served their sentence AND it is safe for them to return to their origin country

No, we have very low illegal immigration rates so this would be a waste of money

Yes, but only if they have finished serving their sentence, and it is safe for them to return to their country.

Depends on their visa status - eg citizen should not be deported. Visitor should be.

No if Aotearoa is there home then we should deal with it

Yes, after serving their sentence. However not if they spent most of their childhood growing up here.

Yes, so long as their sentence is served, if they have been in the country less than 4 years and only if it is safe for them to return to their country of origin.

Flags ups unions stop children hurts crimes with the right resources including more upsides and down low Maori and Pacific Landers and chime over crimes and violence videos Chinese New beyond Landers

yes, as long as they serve their term in prison in the country they're deported to, and never be allowed to return to NZ

Only if it does not affect family by splitting family or forcing innocents to leave country to keep family together.

Only if that person has not completed their quest for Permanent Residency. Once that status is obtained, they should be treated as New Zealanders in all aspects of life.

They should do their time in NZ but it should be paid for by their country, and after they should be deported

Yes and as soon as they are found guilty send them back to their country. We don’t need to be paying for people in our jails who are not even New Zealanders

yes, after finishing their sentence but this depends on the individuals immigration status and the severity of the crime.

yes and go back to their own country so our taxes aren't paying for them in our prisons

It would depend on the status of the person e.g. Permanent resident, citizen

Yes, but only if they have been in NZ for less than 3 years and it is safe to return home

They should be deported if they aren't a legal NZ citizen. If a citizen, there's no need to go through deportation.

As long as the crime isn't violence or sexual assault related, then no.

Yes. Committing the crime should void any right they have to stay in the country. Tax payer money shouldn't be used to pay for immigrants in jail.

yes as long as they will service their full sentence in the country and if it is safe for them to return.

Yes if they do not have NZ Citizenship

It depends on their residency status

YES but only if they will receive appropriate punishment back home. Unlike the Rainbow Warrior terrorists

Yes if they have lived here for less than 10 years or from a certain age

Yes, but they have to finish serving their sentence in their home country.

Depending on the length of time they have been in NZ.

Only if they have lived in NZ less than 10 years

Yes but it depends on the seriousness of the crime, the safety of the country they are being deported to, and how long they have been in New Zealand.

What is the definition of a serious crime in NZ?

Depends on the individuals circumstances.

Yes violent and sexual crimes, past to their country and they can cover cost of imprisonment. If their country is unsafe they should have followed our legal guideline to stay

Only if they aren't a permanent resident and pose an active societal threat

No, a New Zealand resident should attend a New Zealand Prison

No, only if the crime they committed was violent.

Depends on family situation to many variables here

Level of seriousness, safety and inpact on family needs to be considered from a human rights lens so families are not sperated

I believe that if the sentence is less than 12 months they should be allowed to return to their normal and not be deported

Taken on a case by case basis

No, sometimes they get less sentencing if gone back to original country

Yes but only if they do not have the right to stay in NZ indefinitely. So having the same treatment as their equal counterparts born in nz.

Yes, but only before attaining residency.

No, if they are from the Pacific islands as that creates issues for the islands. But yes, if the person won't be in danger when returning to their home country.

Yes and every family member is also deported. A 'you've ruined it for everyone' clause.

It depends on how serious of a crime eg, murder, terrorism ect...

Yes, but after they have finished serving their sentence,as long as it is safe for them to return to their country.

No, they should do the time then decide if they leave.

Yes If they have lived in nz less than 20 years and have no dependent nz children

Yes If they have lived in nz less than 15 years and have no dependent nz children

Yes If they have lived in nz less than 15 years and have no dependent nz children

Yes and must not be allowed back into the country

Yes, but only for violent, serious crines such as murder, domestic violence, rape, terrorism etc

Not if they were brought up here

Yes, but only if they are not yet New Zealand citizens

Yes, immediately and serve your sentence in your own country

Yes, they will be a burden on the taxpayer if sent to prison

On a temporary Visa, yes if they are a permanent resident of a citizen the they shouldn't as they are a part of this country.

Yes and automatic ban to return

yes and their whole family

Depends on the situation eg how long they have lived here, where there family is etc

The nature of the crime and the circumstances under which it was committed would determine this. Yes, he or she should be deported once it is proven that it was done intentionally.

Yes, but after they have finished their sentence, unless they can serve it in their own country.

No, they should serve their sentence in the country in which they committed the crime.

Yes, but only if they haven't nationalised. If they are kiwis, no

No, only if they have entered the country illegally AND it is safe for them to return to their country

Yes, only if they aren’t citizens and they will be serving their sentence at their countries of citizenship

Yes, but only if they don’t have NZ born children in NZ.

No I believe they should do the time here and the country they had immigrated from should pay for them to be convicted here and serve time in our prisons.

They already are deleted in this situation.

As per the current laws

Not if they are New Zealand citizens

Yes if they were adults when they moved to nz

Yes but depending on the severity of the crime and the safety of the destination country, and family status

Depends on the crime and should be done on a case by case basis considering broader aspects (e.g. is it safe for them to return to their country? Do they have family here?)

Yes and their family should be deported too if they can’t support themselves.

Donald trump wants invitation by womens teddies rape and open thru death suicide by former New Zealand prime minister jacinda ardern hopes about womens rape cancer

This already happens for immigrants who do not have citizenship

Yes immediately rather than nz paying fir their detention

It should depend on how long they have been here.

Yes, if a) They are not an NZ citizen, and b) It is safe for them to return to their country.

Yes, if they haven't been here long or are here illegally. No, if it is unsafe to return. No, if they have lived here for a significant amount of time.

It depends entirely on the crime, swing a violent crime is far too broad.

Yes, unless they have lived here most of their life

Yes as long as they do not have a long term connection to NZ

Yes, unless they have lived in NZ for an extended period

All illegal immigrants should be deported immediately

Not if their visa is still valid.

Yes, if they don't want to be deported they should not have committed the crime

yes if it’s a serious crime and is safe for them to return to their country

Yes as long as they are thrown in jail in their own country immediately

Depending on the end result

Yes. And never let back in.

Yes potentially depending on crime, time and cost and situation

Where should we draw the line in deciding whether an immigrant who has committed a serious crime has relinquished their right to stay in their adopted country?

What should be the priorities for local law enforcement: upholding federal immigration laws or focusing on community policing and safety?
