    There shouldn’t be any risk involved. We should send those that choose to commit crimes back home. But to the legal system it’s seemingly too controversial. It’s sad.

    It needs to be illegal to consider immigration status in criminal cases.

    Also how come everyone but idiot judges realizes that criminals are the last people we want as immigrants to this country.

    Another day, another slap on the wrist due to ‘potential immigration consequences.’ So frustrating that it feels like there’s nothing anyone can do.

    Being a temporary resident should be an aggraavaating factor not a mitigating factor.

    They are visitors here and show zero respect for the law.

    On one hand this person deserves deportation. On the other hand, Walmart deserves to be stolen from by hiring foreign labour to do the jobs that Canadians should be doing.

    That isn’t right. I think that any noncitizen who commits what would an Indictable Offence, or certain Hybrid Offences, should immediately be put up for deportation. Some leniency could be considered for Summary Offences, given that people make mistakes, and average people break rules all the time; but I don’t think that it’s unreasonable to remove somebody for higher tier, or repeated, crimes.

    Sad to see this is the state of our country honestly. Seals over $7,000 worth of stuff and part of the reasoning for house arrest is the “risk of deportation,” while regular people work hard, pay insane taxes, and can barely get ahead. But hey, elbows up everyone, I’m sure Carney and his experts will tell us this is what progress looks like.

    I couldn’t care less about anyone stealing from big corporations considering they cut hours and wage theft from minimum wage workers all the time.

    But I’m tired that IRCC would be on your a** for your employer cutting your hours (I would know, as I have to write 2 page outline on my hours being cut in my application) while lil shiets like this worker commit crime and basically have a slap on their wrist

    Immigration status should have no bearing sentencing. The judges need to be removed from the bench

    tbh i dont care if ppl steal from walmart. but i dont understand why you wouldnt be deported after theft of that amount .

    Doesn’t this mean that legal system is actually encouraging immigrants to do crime?

    These are exactly type of people Canada needs to get rid of, what trudeau’s policies attracted.

    These articles really don’t understand immigration law and should learn about it or stop writing about it.

    She will still very likely be issued a deportation order. House arrest can not stop that.

    All this sentence does is allows her to appeal her deportation to the Immigration Appeals Division. If she got over 6 months in actual jail she would not have these appeal rights.

    This judge is just passing the buck to an immigration judge to determine if she should be deported instead of doing it himself.

    Article is gated so I can’t read it, but I have to assume that the defense just included in their list of considerations; the same as they always do… and it’s a huge rage batey nothing burger.   

    Or did the judge actually say this had some bearing on their ruling?

    Is immigration status giving people more rights than citizen’s a provincial or federal thing? Just wondering where to protest

  20. Zarxon on

    I am not right wing, but if you are not a citizen here. And are found guilty of a felony. You should be given jail time and then deported and banned. It’s that simple. If you are not a citizen you are a guest.

    Blame Walmart for using temporary foreign workers

    I wont shed a tear for their losses

    Meh, it’s a crime against a business and not a violent crime against a person.
