Under section 15 of the Immigration Act 1971, the Home Secretary has a very broad power to deport any foreign national whose removal from the UK he or she believes would be ‘conducive to the public good’. Although the Home Secretary enjoys a very broad ground to deport foreign nationals, this power is traditionally exercised when a foreign national is engaged in criminal activity or deemed a threat to the national security of the UK.
@93M9Y3S2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if they aren't a greater threat from abroad
@9LCBJZ52wks2W
No, free speech needs to be respected. But any foreign national actually convicted of a crime should be deported after serving their sentence.
@9KZWGNH1mo1MO
Yes and for citizens, but only if their human rights are respected by the country to which they are deported.
@9JXZ4MM2mos2MO
Yea, but only if terrorism is clearly defined as incitement to violence or engaging in violent acts (currently the definition is too broad and easily abused for political ends).
@9JR4YBQ2mos2MO
Maybe they should be treated as any UK national would be - just a thought (terrorism is not just a foreign problem) x
@9J8CXPQ3mos3MO
No, only those who are convicted of crimes and where their human rights will be respected in the country they are deported to.
@9HZVP5Z3mos3MO
What the police/law consider as "terrorism" could be change depending on biases/beliefs of the authority.
I believe that the same laws that apply to citizens should apply to immigrants. Terrorism laws should be clear and unbiased with no room for interpretation or misuse. Terrorism is a serious crime, regardless of of being a citizen or immigrant.
@9D587MY9mos9MO
Yes but only if their actions pose a threat to our country
No, if they are inciting hatred or violence then their promotion is illegal anyway and should carry the same penalty as citizens
@9D3BXQN9mos9MO
@9D355DL9mos9MO
No, have terrorists recieve the death penalty but only if there's 100% undeniable evidence
@9B599D6Plaid Cymru1yr1Y
Yes, but only within a specific scope of a definition as the current definition is very broad.
@99ZZVBY1yr1Y
Yes, but only if there is undeniable evidence that proves that the immigrant is promoting terrorism.
@99ZX9JK1yr1Y
Yes, but only after they have served a prison sentence.
@99XH4F41yr1Y
It depends on their situation
@99TQRPD1yr1Y
I would personally create an institution where there is a system in place which works with the individual to ultimately reconfigure and ameliorate their beliefs.
@99RNH3P1yr1Y
Yes, this would also include all jews as stochastic terrorists agitating anti-White hatred.
@99PZ83C1yr1Y
Yes, only if they have been proved guilty with sufficient evidence
@99M4MJS1yr1Y
Yes, and deport all immigrants.
@98WCVNW1yr1Y
Yes, and have the power to exile and uk citizens who do the same
@98WBK991yr1Y
Yes but only if they are of a criminal nature and are against our own country.
@rosball220501Labour1yr1Y
Yes, however there must be clear evidence and review of the person's words and intentions in order to not jump to conclusions. The government might try to classify terrorism in their own, authoritarian way, so that they can target any dissent.
@98W3JR61yr1Y
Yes, if it constitutes threatening committing terrorism or they’re spreading harmful misinformation to promote violent acts.
@98SXTYH1yr1Y
No, but if they are promoting hate speech and violence then they should face the legal consequences
If there is any evidence that there are intentions to commit an act of terrorism or incite violence, they should be arrested.
@98R6CLW1yr1Y
No, they should subject them to a trial
@98QSTC41yr1Y
If the said person is actively preaching pro terrorism sentiments and even so much as criminalising themselves then they should be brought in for questioning but you can’t simply deport a person for speaking their mind
Yes, so long as sufficient proof is provided of Terrorist Propaganda.
@98P628DConservative1yr1Y
The Government should be absolutely sure they are guilty first.
@98NWH831yr1Y
Yes if they are criminally charged with terrorism or conspiracy and if their human rights will be respected by the country that they are deported to
It depends if they are throwing around propaganda about terrorism, because otherwise yes deport them. However if they are considered being a terrorist due to their ethnicity/religion/ and nothing else, then I don’t support deportation.
@98KN5681yr1Y
If they are suspected to be promoting terrorism, investigate the matter and if they are found guilty of it, deport them, if not, they can be allowed to stay.
@98HVGZT1yr1Y
No, promoting terrorism should be illegal and punishable by imprisonment in the UK.
@98HTFCG1yr1Y
only if they are confirmed as terrorists
@98H6XWW1yr1Y
Depends on what they are doing
@98G6GQD1yr1Y
No. Imprison them instead.
@98FPNL21yr1Y
Yes, but only when evidence is undeniable
@989XBFP1yr1Y
Yes, but only if there is sufficient evidence that they are promoting terrorism
@9866KWG1yr1Y
The government should not have the power to do anything
@98466V31yr1Y
If they are doing something harmful, then give them a fine, if they are plotting against the country then deport them.
@97T73XG1yr1Y
Depends who is doing the considering.
@97RHXJ61yr1Y
Remove all foreigners and jews
@97R75PQ1yr1Y
This depends on the individual, deporting them if they are dangerous will only move the problem and not deal with it legally.
No, because they will find a way back in, euthanise them and donate their organs.
Yes, but only if they are not a citizen.
@97NTF6S1yr1Y
no, deportation wouldn't change the fact that they are promoting terrorism. the government should evaluate if the person is actually going to commit and act of terrorism.
@9799GD71yr1Y
No. Imprison or execute them instead.
@978LSKB1yr1Y
I don’t trust the government to define definitions and boundaries of terrorism
Question has too many factors to consider a simple answer.
@9753S4D1yr1Y
only if there is undeniable proof and there is a trial/hearing/tribunal
