On October 7, 2013 California Governor Jerry Brown signed a state bill prohibiting law-enforcement officials from detaining an individual on the basis of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement hold after that person becomes eligible for release, unless he or she has been charged with or convicted of certain crimes, including violent felonies.
it depends on the crime if it causes mental problems to the victim in the future then yes if not then they should have mandatory community service but in the case of a violent crime then they should be convicted

Crime-committing illegal immigrants should be detained and deported, however, make it official with the entire deported's family on which country they need to choose to stay in for the rest of their citizenship
Yes, but give the choice of deportation or make them get citizenship.
Illegal immigrants should work towards gaining their citizenship. This is a hard process, but in order to live in this country one should have legal citizenship. However, one cannot come into this country illegally and expect to get away with minor crimes. They should be punished justly according to the constitution, this may include deportation. However, it is a definite deportation for larger crimes, or a higher punishment for crimes such as rape or murder.
Yes, as they are not citizens here they should be more aware of their actions.
I think "deported" is a strong word and they should be put in jail like everyone else.
@9XKMGNVWomen’s Equality5 days
I feel since they are an illegal immigrant and have then broke the law they should definitely be punished, but at the same time should be turned over due to them not having citizenship.
yes but only if they’re a threat to the US
Yes, but not overly violent
I need more research.
No, if they have been contributing positively to the country
it depends what crime it is. and no one is illegal on stolen land, so should normal people go to jail for a crime, it just depends on the crime.
No they shouldn't be detained but should be sent to the federal immigration authorities. Where they can be given a chance to become a legal immigrant through a process.
everyone should be punished for breaking the law but deportation is unneccesarry unless being accused of a henius crime.
They should be given time to become a citizen, only if they are posing a threat.
Yes, they should detain them, but they should be given a fair trial.
@9MNJFCGIndependent12mos
I think illegal immigrants should be detained but also given the choice to become US citzens.
As long as the illegal immigrants are not minors.
No, and we should abolish ICE.
Not informed enough on this subject.
Yes, and then they should make their case for asylum or amnesty and then we let the system decide if they should be deported.
@9MMMXYDRepublican12mos
First time, non-violent crimes, should allow the illegal immigrant to have a period of time to become a citizen and if they fail to become a citizen then they shall be deported at this time or any other time law enforcement detains them for any circumstance. Like an outstanding warrant.
No, they should be treated equally as citizens
@9MMBVGGRepublican12mos
If they deliberately harmed someone or intentionally inconvenienced others, then yes
Illegal immigrants should be detained, yes, but not transferred to federal immigration authorities and have a reasonable bail.
Depends on how long there citizenship has been expired
No if they are being treated as they are now ! Separating children from families and caging people ! Despicable! Turning people over to immigration is inhumane at this time
Carry out sentencing in the US then deport
Yes and No, because it depends on the crime they're committing. There should be warnings for minor crimes like stealing or theft, and when two warnings are acquired they are then transported to federal immigration authorities. More violent crimes like: Damage to resident owned or government owned(depending on the situation) or murder/assault(also depending on the situation) should see Illegal immigrants transported immediately to federal immigration authorities.
@9MKMNWSRepublican12mos
Yes, if they have committed a serious crime the first time, if said person has not committed the crime and there is no proof and it is only because they are “illegal” then they should be allowed help to become a citizen. They deserve a chance too and should be considered to be a person of citizenship if they have NEVER been CONVICTED
depends on the crime committed
yes and no, for me I think it should 1: be dependant on the crime, and 2: if they have a good reason for crossing without doing all the legal work.
no, only if they commit a felony such as terrorism
Yes, as long as it has been proven that they truly commit a crime.
Yes, illegal immigrants should be taken to federal authorities and have the chance to apply for legal citizenship
It depends on the crime. Not if they are stealing food because they are hungry.
@9MJL42WConstitution12mos
they should be turned over and either forced to be legal or they shall be deported.
It depends on what crime the person committed.
Don’t have an opinion
If the chicken can cross the road and get to the kitchen then yes
Law enforcement and any other government employee should be required to report an illegal immigrant, and if possible transfer them to the correct authorities. However, once in custody, every illegal immigrant should be decided upon via a case-by-case basis. That is, it should be decided based on the person in question, whether they should be deported or otherwise (apply for green card, citizenship, etc.).
@9MHH95QConstitution12mos
yes. but if it is minor it shouldnt be a big problem and make a big commosion about it.
Not local law authorities but maybe some more powerful positions such as police commanders or go on trial court.
it depends what crime they committed. Otherwise, no.
@9MH5XTKRepublican12mos
Maybe it should be consider with the crime
Yes, and then maybe the immigrant could get their citizenship.
they should have a fair trial and treated as a US citizen who committed the crime unless the crime is violent
only if they keep doing minor ones
