If it were up to you, what do you think should happen to asylum seekers (aka the recent migrants) who commit crimes in the US?

Asked by jca2 (16915points) 12 hours ago

Do you think the migrants who commit crimes should serve their punishment and then be deported (thereby revoking their immigration status)? Do you think the migrants should be deported without serving their punishment? Do you think the migrants should serve their punishment and be allowed to remain in the country?

Do you have another idea or opinion not mentioned above?

This is a subject that has come up in the news, and is a hot topic now in NYC after a Guatemalan migrant set a woman on fire on the subway, killing her. There have been other crimes by migrants that were hot in the news, like last winter when a bunch ganged up on a police officer in Times Square. There have been other crimes committed by migrants, and of course crimes are committed every day by US citizens, which is always brought up by advocates for the migrants.

What do you think?

Depends on the crime.

Depends where they live I guess. In eastern Washington, where everyone’s potatoes and onions are farmed….no one else is going to live out there to work, so it’ll probably fly under the radar.

If it were up to ME, they’d be placed in an arena combat to the death with Donald Trump, who will repeat his accusations that, “They’re eating the cats! They’re eating the dogs!” right before combat begins. If they emerge victorious, they will be pardoned.
