Americans want a 5 to 10 year moratorium on all immigration! We have taken in enough immigrants and we are sick of them!\nMost are tribal and can't even stand us! Stay home and try to deal with your situation or stop having babies! This could make life easier on you!

I know that I am blessed to have been born in the United States. I hate that this man was born in another country but if he truly wanted a future then he should of stood and fought for that in El Salvador. Central Americans need to clean up their act!

Canada will even get tired of these illegal Mexicans & Central Americans soon ?

and I thought Canadians were nicer than Americans

Can Americans go to Canada? I always wanted to go to Canada

People complain of illegal immigrants being here , but when they are doing jobs nobody wants . Not even with 401k , vacation time, sick pay and higher wages ... Americans don’t flock to get these jobs quick . Oh yeah they can’t handle the idea of hard work . It’s easier to stand on a corner , with a hand out and get money that way.

The US should make work visas easier to maintain so they can work here and go back to their family in their home country every now and then. But then again, that may work for Mexican migrants(mexico is not dangerous at all besides a couple cartel controlled states) but perhaps not for smaller central american countries where they are escaping political strife and violence. The attainment of visa is easier for white latinos rather than those who are brown/afro. However, people complain that they feed off welfare, which is untrue because those without ssn can not obtain those benefits.

I was born in Seattle and left to Canada (married) when I was in early 20's!  This then was a good change for me as Vancouver was a great city compared to Seattle, moved right downtown and had a blast so for a young person (then) was great.  Met some great people from all over the world and had health care, medical/Dental etc.... I worked in the greater Vancouver area for 8 years and it was tough, very strict, and did not help that I was from the states, white bread Canadian seemed a bit jealous that I was there, sometimes not very friendly.  The Europeans I met were actually better to deal with and I got along quite well with them.  The cost of living was about the same as in Seattle.  After about 8 years being in Canada and working hard I saw America booming and the Canadian dollar was as low as $.62 cents (in late 90's) so I took my craft from Vancouver and brought it to the US just across the border, I became much happier working in the States, I took a little bit of bs but not bad from some that I had a Canadian accent (go figure when I moved up there I had a twang) I really never left the united states I will always be American and I have been still working in the US for over 20 years and deal with mainly Americans on a daily basis from all over the State of Washington.  Depending on where you grow up or end up you should never see a border Seattle and Vancouver have more in common than Vancouver / Calgary in fact most Canadians don't care much for the other provinces.  After 30 years of being part of both countries, I can say that people are people both have great offerings and if you took the best of Canada and America to combine then we would all prosper, there is so much both can learn from each other.  Bottom line:I take the best of both worlds and what they have to offer, yes, I have found less expensive goods in Canada than what they cost in the states.  I have seen it from both eyes, and if you cant be open culturally then stay away.

I got a preference of African American over European American\n(I’m white from Europe not America)

Abusing american tolerance to help islamic terrorists is nothing to be proud of.

Have an White American perform the same 'test' in Syria, or Mexico City, or Rio, or Nigeria... I wonder what would happen then?

And I thought Canadians are nice and not racists like Americans...

Waning:The comments section is not advised for emotional people.So it is ilegal yeah we all agree,and I don't want to think about how can someone in a country ilegally for 15years go ilegally to another country.Ok maybe whatever made him leave was just so crazy he had no time to think legal and hop,in the US.But oh well.I hope Americans will never have to face anything like that.For now,I'll just be watching from a distance.We jave our own shyte to deal with.

Good, and Americans are not living next door to Muslims. Stop Canada, your messing up your country

American and canadian rule of immigration relate. Follow the rules it's simple.

All this is do to the media not to be truthful with American people. This goes bout ways. They only report bad thinks, shootings crimes and so on...

weird how theres so much negativity here...question? The America's is a baby country; young. Does everyone realize that it doesnt matter if its Canada, Mexico or any other American country....WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS!...

You never see this information on American TV.

You Central Americans actually believe that Trudeau will grant you freedom and prosperity in Canada just like that with a magic wand???...lol

White sand beaches, rainforest, snow-capped mountains, fertile ground nobody from Latin America is a refugee. Including Cuba. They are Economic opportunist not refugees. It took 400 years of History to build America. Now Latinos are pouring into America demanding jobs and rights they don't have in your own country. Refusing to learn English screaming solo Espanol. Call Donald Trump a racist but have no problem setting up racist ethnic cleansing zones against African-Americans.

Sounds like this poor bastered listened to an American liberal who said Canada was a better place... Just can't trust a liberal ...

It sucks than Latin American people can be accepted, we have to accept Americans instead and yeah they come and spend money but they come to spread their bad habits, deseases and more and just because we live in third world Countries, thanks for the labels USA.

North America as a whole should be trying to help Mexico, Central and South American Humanitarian Efforts.

To all the people saying why dont these immigrants stay in their county to make it better---here is a little think piece because i used to say the same thing\n\ni used to say the same thing but we are blindsighted by your american privilege. My parents are immigrants and i told them the same thing, why dont people stay to make their country better? And they flat out told me it will get you killed. Americans have no idea how coniving amd evil leaders in other countries can be. Just the other day, a dictator from eritrea was bargaining prices with Israel to send back refugees from his country. He said the refugees fleeing his regime should be given 50k to be deported from isreal because they risked their lives. You would think he really meant that right? As soon as those refugees come back hes taking that money and sending them to a forced slavery like military program. There is no such thing as human rights. So if you were in such a dire situation, dont you think you would do anything to get out? The only solution i see is if the entire world could be under a larger, strong governing force that keeps leaders in check and can withold vital resources from offenders. The UN isnt cutting it.

If I was South America I’d stay in my country, work & have as best a life as I could with what’s there. The American dream isn’t for non Americans to dream about or let alone Canada. Every country has its own issues you just need to deal with it, it’s better than running away to another place where your not wanted

poor u Europeans Americans Russians Australians Canadians all racist you need to loot

Can I ask you why is it that the vast majority of Canadians will visit America but Americans don't usually visit Canada?

I took one of these tests years ago, and I wasn't surprised to find out I had a moderate preference for African Americans over European Americans, because I was born and raised in Detroit, but I also found out I saw Asians as 'Less Foreign' than White people... Years later, I ended up marrying a Chinese/Vietnamese guy. I wonder sometimes if those two things are related. XD;;;

I live in USA. I am a Latin American citizen and I have been followed and discriminated against, but I don't take it to heart. It is their problem not mine. I don't own any of it, it is their responsibility.

a Saskatchewan company hired my 70 year old Uncle in Ontario to come to Sask because he is a hard worker and told him that Native Americans in Sask are lazy and that is why they were willing to pay for so much including paying for his travel and lodging.

Americans are our best friends.......Canadians have a bad perception of Americans, and none of its true......great people, and great country & a great culture.......lived in Michigan for 30 years, and enjoyed every minute.......now I have American son and Daughter, and Michigan born grandkids.......love the USA......Canada really blows.....too socialist

why am i a white Canadian made to feel guilty about something some white Americans did hundreds of years ago!

Muslims are not bad we're normal people like everyone else what the hell is the problem I love Islam because I am a Muslim comment if you agree and if you don't get the hell out of here bc like I said we're normal people like Americans and everyone else in the world we come to America because we want to be safe here

I think all American women white women should have to wear them

Muslims do not will not and do not want to assimilate, respect or uphold our western traditions, values, rules or laws...they need to go back to their home where they can live with the same sick mind set class of people. I have always said, as I too have been very involved with Muslims as my ex husband was Muslim, Muslims have no neighbors, they have no love or compassion, they cannot do not and will not be a respector of any Christian beliefs or values of any kind, Why do they want to live in our free countries when they despise freedom. They are not here for freedom, they hate freedom of every kind. it is very clear from the Qu'ran, that I have read. They hate our culture, they despise our free speech, they despise Christian's they despise our dress (apparel) they despise any form of woman's rights. When I lived in Egypt it was extremely rare to see a woman ride a horse, drive a car, ride a bike or go swimming, or even jogging. I was a rare exception because I was American and did all of the above, however none of my female friends could or would do any of the things that I just mentioned. Ask yourself, why the hell are they coming to our home lands?!?!

Great documentary CBC. From an African American from Philadelphia.

All people who do not assimilate must be deported. As well as just stop immigration of Muslims all together. We are at full war. The people who controlled our countries back in WW2 understood that the citizens were number one priority and stopped all immigration of any ethnic background like Germans and Japanese. \n\nBut not all citizens were protected like the Japanese Canadians Americans and so on. The governments back then were very strict and careful. And did they have as much deaths of terrorism? No they did not!\n\nIslamic ideology is one of the most sickest and most anti-freedom things you can find anywhere. And its not a religion of peace. The peaceful majority are irrelevant.

If these black guys were American, they'd be accused of 'sounding white'.

Canada's cold, expensive & boring. The people here spend 1/3 of their time talking about America and the other 2/3 about hockey and how accepting and 'nice' they are. Our country hates Americans yet they rely on American brands, tv etc. For their livelihood and know more about their political situation than their own. I want to move sooo badly

Afo- American is a nation with in America . we were up rooted and planted . just dont go where you are not wanted is the message. Who needs the headaches.

Get them out. Get them out. Trump is the answer for America. Can't stand them. Can't wait til they are gone. \n\nI have read the Qur'an and studied the life of Muhammad they are the only immigrants to come here and kill over 3,000 Americans in less than one hour.\n\nWe getting them out.

Every American should see what's happening all over Europe with the muslim invasion. Especially in Sweden and Belgium. London is looking a lot like Syria as well. What is wrong with us to allow this sort of fuckery. Vote Trump or we will be next. Nato is coming for our guns. Wake up or kiss the 2nd Amendment goodbye. Trump 2016

Jehovah witnesses are no fucking diffrent. they refuse to celebrate an American tradition, THANKSGIVING. religion sucks if you make it your life.

I am also a BC Canadian. My thoughts about Americans: guns, fast food, religious.

wow and the Americans believe in equality

Americans ought to be thinking about the proximity of Toronto to Dearborn, Michigan, and why muslims are congregating so near to the border of Canada. (in Vermont and upstate New York as well)

Terrorism is not a problem people. Wake up, it's propaganda. Harper is pro American and look at the state they are in!\nWith that being said, Muslims need to back the fuck off and stop trying to change the Canadian way. Which means, Merry Christmas, not happy holidays.\nWhich means, if you want to be a cop, you abide by the fucking dress code.\n\netc etc

Quran does not permit to kill an innocent muslim or non muslim. If you do, you will answer to god. Muslim's are afraid of god before fearing any law. We believe that god sees every action we make, and I repeat... It is prohibited in islam for somme one to kill an innocent person. I'm a shamed of people using islam as a shield to kill innocent people. If american's kill millions of innocent children its because they don't know god, but a muslim should not do that. God will punish americans...

american culture still is pretty shit though. a culture that promotes greed and ignorance and food that turns you into a huge blubbery whale. not to mention that the us is a menace to world security and the worst thing is that this poisonous culture has been spreading all over the world.

Sad to see Europe go, I'm glad I'm an American and live where I do. It's seems many Muslims are very willing to die for their beliefs. Thankfully Americans are very willing to kill for their beliefs. \n
