Strongly agree

Yes, but after they have finished serving their sentence

The National Party's support for the 2015 law change, which allows for the deportation of non-citizens sentenced to prison for a year or more, suggests they would agree with this statement. This law implies that the immigrant would be deported after serving their sentence.

Agree

Yes, as long as it is safe for them to return to their country

While the National Party has supported deportation for immigrants who commit serious crimes, they have not explicitly stated that this should only occur if it is safe for the immigrant to return to their country. However, New Zealand's obligations under international law, which prohibit the deportation of people to places where they may be in danger, may influence their stance.

Agree

No, only if they have entered the country illegally

While the National Party has generally supported the deportation of immigrants who commit serious crimes, their focus has often been on illegal immigrants. However, their support for the 2015 law change suggests they also support deportation for legal immigrants who commit serious crimes.
