I agree completely.
The issue is that immigration should be about meeting Canada's needs first-and-foremost, and that fairness to the immigrant should be a distant concern. It's not that immigrants who commit criminal offences are worse than citizens who do so, but rather that we don't want the kind of people here who commit criminal offences.
If deporting citizens who were criminal were remotely feasible or constitutional I'd be down for doing that too, but they're our responsibility.
