You shouldn't face special punishments just because you're an immigrant.
This anti-immigration dogwhistling needs to stop. It's unbecoming for people who aren't members of the alt-right.
I'm a first gen immigrants to the US from Iraq. Immigrants should 100% face consequences for their actions. Immigration is a PRIVILEGE, not a right. People who chose to move to Canada or whatever country have to respect the laws, culture, and customs of the country they're moving to. If they're not willing to assimilate or integrate then you get stuff like this. These types of attacks aren't normal and we shouldn't normalize them like you're doing here by trying to coddle these people or give them special treatment because of their backgrounds. If their hateful because their culture or religion is hateful then we have to call them and take steps to ensure that we don't have that hate spread here. If an immigrant commits a heinous crime, like these homophobes did, and they don't have citizenship then they HAVE TO get deported. Otherwise there's no law, order, justice, or accountability. Basically countries like Canada would be no more.
