Yep, either now or when they have served their sentence.
Deporting them "now"? With no trial, no court, no jailtime? really? How is that justice for the victims?
After they served their sentence, I see no issue with that.
They are free to deal with them however they wish.
Again, as above and previous posts, just deporting them no imprisonment is neither justice for the victims, not prevention of their crimes.
By deporting them to their "home country" (which often may not have evidence to prosecute the individual) with no punishment (jailtime) they may very-well be free to just "swan around" their "home country" like it never even happened. - Not exactly justice.
We're not talking about stealing a tenner. These crimes are crimes basically everywhere in the world. Rape, murder etc.
No, exactly, we're not.
We're talking abut some of the most heinous crimes people can commit.
Which is why I am so utterly stunned when people express the "just send them home" sentiment, leaving them free to commit those crimes to others, in their "home country" as-well as go unpunished for the crimes committed in this country, against this countries citizen(s).
It really does scream of "I don't care if they do it "over there" just as long as they are "not here".
It's not justice.
Go for it, deport them once they have served their time. You don't have the right to stay in this country though if you have broken our laws.
Yes, I agree... The issue is people advocating for "sending them home" BEFORE or in-place-of a prison sentence. You yourself above even said "
either now or when they have served their sentence"
Given what I said above about their "home country" may not even having laws / evidence to prosecute, combined with the crime(s) being committed in this country, not "their home country", the "send them home now" option is simply not the correct approach and it's certainly not justice for the victim(s).
Largely, yes, I don't see why the public should foot the huge bill for jailing someone when that person isn't even from this country. As I have said, I would happily apply this to English nationals abroad.
The crime(s) were committed in this country, in violation of this countries laws, against citizen(s) of this country. In this country our "justice system" jails such people both as a punishment to them and a deterrent to others.
Simply sending them home is neither justice for the victim(s) not a deterrent to others, it just makes the problem ...
someone else's problem
As you said, this is not stealing a tenner, these are not minor crimes...
These people need to be jailed for their crimes and if those crimes were committed here, against our citizen(s), in violation of our laws, they should serve sentence here.
I haven't at any point suggested the family should be deported. Why would they be? They haven't committed a crime.
Apologies, I took your support of UTT's comment below as an agreement with the whole sentiment. It was not clear (to me) that you were referring only to the individual who committed the crime(s).
Deport them and they're families back to Pakistan?
Out of interest, what would be a valid reason to deport someone?
I do wonder the same when people suggest "send them and their whole family home" ..
Under what grounds exactly would they justify the deportation of the family, whom have committed no wrong-doing?
