In 2015 the U.S. House of Representatives introduced the Establishing Mandatory Minimums for Illegal Reentry Act of 2015 (Kate’s Law.) The law was introduced after San Francisco 32 year old San Francisco resident Kathryn Steinle was shot and killed by Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez on July 1, 2015. Lopez-Sanchez was an illegal immigrant from Mexico who had been deported on five separate occasions since 1991 and been charged with seven felony convictions. Since 1991 Lopez-Sanchez had been charged with seven felony convictions and deported five times by the U.S. Immigration and Naturaliza…

Yes, but after they have finished serving their sentence
@9GFQV636mos6MO
There are to many variables to think about I would need a while, I think mostly it just depends on the case.
@ISIDEWITH7yrs7Y
No, only if they have entered the country illegally
They are considered a danger to the country of America. If the crime committed is of great volume and is terrible then they should not be allowed to reside in the U.S if they came in illegally.
@9LLNC953 days3D
It says immigrants. It doesn't say whther they came to the country legally or illegally, or what their status is. Immigrants are just people that migrated, moved from one country to another. People that MOVE are not automatically dangerous.
@ISIDEWITH7yrs7Y
No
@9F5HBFZLibertarian7mos7MO
Let’s create a pathway for citizenship, and reform the system. We should get them a basic test that’s not hard for them to pass.
@ISIDEWITH7yrs7Y
@cryingleftist3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as it is safe to return and they entered illegally.
@8FYQYQH4yrs4Y
No, unless it is a very serious crime, and they are not yet US citizens
@96YM5ZM1yr1Y
This question is misleading. The question should say illegal immigrant rather than immigrant, which carries the connotation that they immigrated legally. An illegal immigrant should be deported and a legal immigrant should be prosecuted.
@9LLNC953 days3D
Agreed. (from AZ)
@8TR47T5Progressive3yrs3Y
No, they should serve a sentence in the US
@96DW65F2yrs2Y
No, If they are citizens they can serve time.
@8DZMKH64yrs4Y
How serious are we talking??
@9L74FFC3wks3W
If they’re illegal immigrants, they should be deported immediately. If they’re legal immigrants, they should be subject to U.S law.
@9JM9ZRL3mos3MO
Yes, but after they have finished serving their sentence and illegal immigrants who commit murders should get the death penalty
@92VN6SK2yrs2Y
No, but they should still serve their sentence.
No, they should go to jail in the U.S.
@9B9XRGM1yr1Y
Only if they have not yet become citizens
@99HYW6K1yr1Y
depending on the serious crime.yes
@8SCGDX73yrs3Y
Yes, but after they have finished serving their sentence but if they commited a crime somewhere else then deport them
@8QRV2V63yrs3Y
Depends on the serious crime.
@8J534QZ4yrs4Y
No they should be tried by the justice system so that they will not be a risk of re-entering the country.
@8GLBDT94yrs4Y
Yes, unless they are US citizens
@99893Z41yr1Y
What is "serious"? Do you mean any immigrants or just undocumented ones?
@8FLR5T5Independent4yrs4Y
No, Only if they have entered the country illegally AND Be placed in a full security facility with a life sentence.
@8HXPYGNLibertarian4yrs4Y
Yes, if they are illegal immigrants; No, if they are legal immigrants
@9LHYZ851wk1W
If the immigrant is illegally in America and commits a crime it is now an international charge. They shouldn't be deported because they need to go through court, but we don't have a regulation on international crimes committed by noncitizens
@Jcawolfson 1wk1W
Yes, only if they have entered the country illegally, as long as it is safe for them to return to their country, and there must be due process!
@9LH6V5Y1wk1W
If they get caught then yes but sometimes they get away with it and if they do it sometimes they will just go back across the border
@9LG8S8J 1wk1W
I don't think we should have this many immigrants anyways. If they did commit a crime, they need to be sent back as soon as it happens and make them serve their sentence over there.
@9LG3DFJ1wk1W
No, only if they entered the country illegally, and if that's the case, they should serve their sentence here before they get deported.
@9LFW5MS 1wk1W
No. If they are here illegally they have already commit a serious crime and should be in prison at their expense to be repaid once released. Temporary loan for living expenses that have to be repaid through working or go back to prison. Legal immigrants are ours once allowed across the border. Treat like everyone else. But repay and loans for living expenses once released from prison.
@Jcawolfson 1wk1W
Naturalized citizens should have the same rights as birthright citizens.
This question is very vague. It fails to differentiate between legal and illegal immigrants. Additionally, there must be due process!!!
@9LCRBWQ2wks2W
That entire question bears all of its weight to the context of what it is. At the very least they should get the advantage of due process.
@9L9ZNNR2wks2W
No immigrants should not be deported if they commit a serious crime they should go to court but get help becoming a U.S citizen
@9L9BHTK2wks2W
If they are White and commit a crime then depending on circumstance jail sentence or death will be applied. If they are non white they will be killed on the spot without trial or second thought.
@9L8QC2C3wks3W
Yes, if they are not citizens of the United States then they should have to return to their original country for breaking our laws.
@9L7N2XG3wks3W
Yes this is protected by Article IV of the U.S. Constitution to protect the American citizens from foreign invasion and domestic violence.
@9L7DPGY3wks3W
It should be decided on a person to person basis to decide what is proportional to the crime and what is best for their family
@9L52DNZ4wks4W
Yes, to their last country of residence to prison to serve the term for which they were sentenced here.
