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.

Yes, but after they have finished serving their sentence
@9GFQV637mos7MO
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.
@9LLNC951mo1MO
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
@9F5HBFZLibertarian8mos8MO
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
@cryingleftist4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as it is safe to return and they entered illegally.
@96YM5ZM2yrs2Y
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.
@9LLNC951mo1MO
Agreed. (from AZ)
@8FYQYQH4yrs4Y
No, unless it is a very serious crime, and they are not yet US citizens
@8D8M3RN4yrs4Y
Yes, if they are illegal. No, if they are legal.
@9JM9ZRL4mos4MO
Yes, but after they have finished serving their sentence and illegal immigrants who commit murders should get the death penalty
No, they should go to jail in the U.S.
@96DW65F2yrs2Y
No, If they are citizens they can serve time.
@92VN6SK2yrs2Y
No, but they should still serve their sentence.
@8TR47T5Progressive3yrs3Y
No, they should serve a sentence in the US
@8DZMKH64yrs4Y
How serious are we talking??
@9L74FFC2mos2MO
If they’re illegal immigrants, they should be deported immediately. If they’re legal immigrants, they should be subject to U.S law.
@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
@9MH6HRP5 days5D
If they are legal immigrants then no, but if they are illegal, then it depends on the severity of the crime.
@9MLD64C 15hrs15H
Yes, if they came into this country as an adult and dont have to carry a sentence because deportation is enough.
@9MJH2MDIndependent3 days3D
Yes because they are here illegally. Do not want to use resources to house them in a jail or prison.
@95ZZS6BIndependent 1wk1W
If they are illegal and committed a serious crime, absolutely send them home. If they are legal and committed a serious crime, let them do the time in jail like others.
illegal immigrants who have committed serious crimes should be deported if it safe for them to return to their country of origin
@9M9HGZS2wks2W
the same way they wanted to be down here and stay, regardless of the individual depending upon your crime you will do your time and as a normal citizen and be treated so no, not deported if you do serious act you will get the chair.
depending how serious the crime was like murder or arcin not for going 5 miles over the speed limit or for stealing piece of bread
Only if they entered without documents and haven't been naturalized and it is safe for them to return to their home country, especially if they have children
@9M7VKSCRepublican2wks2W
Yes, but after they have finished serving a federally mandated sentence, that a sanctuary city must enforce.
@9M7HP892wks2W
Yes, if it is a serious federal crime and especially if they don't pose as useful to the country and will merely be taking up prison space.
@klawson 2wks2W
No, only if they have entered the country illegally, not a registered citizen, and it is safe to return to their country.
@9M4CHJ93wks3W
Automatically yes if it’s safe to return to their home country. But if it’s not safe, they should be held in custody or in some type of prison.
@9M26F4M3wks3W
I feel like they should do their jail time and be given another chance and if they mess up again then they get deported.
