Contrary to popular myth, Canada is no longer a place of refuge nor paragon of human rights and tolerance.

GOOD GOOD GOOOD THE POEM ON THE STATUE BASE WAS JUST THAT \nIT WAS PUT THERE ABOUT 25 YEARS AFTER THE FRENCH GAVE THE STATUE TO\nAMERICA ========WE NO LONGER WANT TO TAKE IN MILLIONS ======TO OUR COUNTRY=======GET IT ==== JUST LIKE YOU NO LONGER WANT SOMEONE TO COME TO YOUR HOUSE=====GET IT==== AND WE HAVE THE LAWS ON THE BOOKS TO PRVE IT

This is no longer racism! This is another level of prejudicial discrimination, happens everywhere in every parts of the world. In Thailand, Japan, Singapore and Europe too!

It ain't easy to move to another country, especially if you DO NOT BELONG there. I'm not a hard man, but millions like you have TAKEN from my country (USA) & we are no longer going to allow your kind to come... It's not personal, it's the LAW

So he lived in America for 15 years or longer and never bothered learning our language or at least trying to learn our language. I had a girlfriend came from Mexico and didn't know any English she put herself through college she had an English book and a book in Spanish and that's how she taught herself English was by taking English only classes and then going home and reading the books in both English and Spanish to understand . So don't tell me it can't be done because it can if you have the desire to become part of the fabric of America and learn our language of English

He lived in the USA for 15 years and managed to save at least $15,000 dollars. He then chooses to go to Canada, putting his family in the same illegal situation as here. Not sure why he left El Savador, but 15 years is a long time. Chances are the reason is no longer valid, so he should have been able to take his family back and live quite well.

I have zero issues with immigrants seeking a better life in another country, being one myself, but a few things about some immigrants baffle me always. How do people expect to be welcomed and accepted by the folks of another country when they don't even bother to learn the language. This guys been in the US for 15 years and can't speak any English? Its not the worse case , I've seen people live far longer 30 or 40 years in countries like the UK where I'm from and they cannot speak a word of English because they choose to live in a self imposed microcosm of the country they came from. \nThey have to understand that it's very insulting to native people and citizens of a country that you want to be treated as a citizen yourself but won't make efforts to adapt to the language and cultures of the country you have chosen to live in, I cannot think of a better way to ostracize yourself than failing to learn the language.\n It would be far easier to have sympathy for your cause if you are able to show that you have integrated and intend to be a citizen of that country 100% and the easiest way is to be able to communicate your cause yourself.

Lets end this fake narrative! Detain the adults and their children together who enter ILLEGALLY! Then when this shit is sorted out return them to their country of origin. Maybe next time they will do things the LEGAL way. When American citizens here now lose their government entitlements because its no longer sustainable then everyone will have a different opinion lol. Lets secure our border, and control immigration as we should as our public safety and economic health depends on it.

THIS CRIMINAL DOESNT EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH! THANK GOODNESS HES NO LONGER HERE! HASTA LA VISTA SCUMBAG! BUILD THE WALL!

They did the same thing to my husband. He married a Canadian woman and had Canadian children... But that wasn't enough... Then he was robbed and assaulted in a bad part of town which gave him extra time only because the supreme court wanted to prosecute the assailants who had attacked my husband... If it werent for the attack he would have been deported at least a year earlier... My husband had legitimate reasons to not want to return to his home country (also Honduras) and aside from that he has children and a wife....\n\nThey say there are laws and this and that... That a refugee cannot enter illegally into Canada and become a successful Canadian....that they have to enter legally.... But how can they enter legally when they cannot get a visa in their own country.... Now we are pushing for humanitarian and compassionate grounds... But life is hard in Honduras and we dont know how much longer he can suffer there before he makes the decision to take the long illegal trek to the north once again...

These people are NO longer in eminent danger of returning to their native country. He should have used the money to go home. Temporary protected status is TEMPORARY. It called having a plan, studying the laws, etc

... FOLLOW the RULES (LAW), STAND in a LINE!! DO the process LEGALLY!! ... said someone who did it that very way:):):) ... might take longer BUT you won't waste your money on LAWYERS WHO KNOW you have NO CHANCES and YET they WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY, ... over and over again

What, did he think he would be given a free ride? Does he actually think immigrating to a new country wasn't going to cost him anything? How many years did he live in the US? And now, in Canada for the last 10+ months, yet he can't speak a fucking word of English? \n\nNow he complains that the process is taking too long, yet, had he immigrated legally (as he should have), it would have taken FAR longer and would have to spend that time inside his home country...\n\nI really don't get his attitude, he feels as though he's entitled to immigrate to the US, even though he made absolutely no effort in doing so legally, made absolutely no effort into learning the most widely spoken language on Earth, so he became a criminal by illegally crossing the border and living in the US for years... Then, when he's about to get busted and deported back to his home country, he pulls the exact same thing, illegally crosses the border into Canada, taking the money he's stolen from the US with him, while STILL unable to speak either official languages in Canada where speaking Spanish is about as useful as a condom in a lesbian orgy, nor making any effort into actually learning said languages, and tries to claim refugee status? Refugee status for what? He's not fleeing any war or conflict, the only thing he's fleeing is deportation to his home country from the US because he crossed the border into the US and lived there ILLEGALLY, he's a fucking criminal... And yet, he STILL feels he's entitled to cross the border into Canada and thinks they'll welcome him with open arms...\n\nWhere do these people get the idea that they have the RIGHT to just enter whatever country they wish without having to go through the immigration process? These processes are there for a reason, we don't allow just anyone to immigrate here...\n\nImmigrating to the US is a PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT... Immigrating to Canada is a PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT... \n\nThe fact that this guy and his family have entered 2 countries ILLEGALLY and stayed within its borders ILLEGALLY for all this time, and in both cases, REFUSED to learn the language, and when he was about to be deported back, he fled and kept hiding from immigration officers... That makes him and his family CRIMINALS, and rightfully so... They should be found immediately, arrested and subsequently deported back to the US to face whatever charges, and then deported back to his home country... Period...

He illegally enters the U.S., doesn't seem to understand why ICE wants to deport him.  So he illegally enters Canada and doesn't seem to understand why they want to deport him.  So instead he plays the system by moving about to get his case 'put to the bottom of the pile' to cheat yet MORE time to stay in Canada illegally.  Then when he gets told 'NO', he changes up and says he no longer in any danger of returning but now it's humanitarian.  Time to pack up and move back to El Salvador and turn your home country into what you want it to be.

Canada is not helping that they use to now you have to pay your own attorney legal aid is no longer help every one that requested

Why are people hung up on him speaking Spanish?\n\nMexico and America's history are intertwined, its unfaire to say, you have to speak English to live here...\n\nThe entire west coast was once Mexico, longer then its been apart of America today. When the Treaty of Guadalupe was signed America accepted Mexico, which accepted the people. \n\nThere's a reason why every other town, street, park and city are named in Spanish, in the west....the east is a different story, excluding Florida...The more you know.

Except in Canada you have to wait months to get treatment while the USA you don't have to wait longer than maybe an hour. Plus we have the best pharmaceutical programs in the world and breakthrough cancer research so... yeah

It’s not any safer in any country than their own. They need to come to the realization that they need to stay in their countries & make the best of it because the US isn’t gonna be playing games much longer & Canada doesn’t want the issue moving up north.

Now I get it...When I am looking around at things to shop, one of the store staff is constantly with me, whichever way I move. I always thought they just want to be there to help. I can't shop longer with someone constantly watching me browsing through. After 5 min, it builds up pressure and I quit.

Blacks and whites are different. Whites need 15 minutes in strong sunlight to get their RDA of Vit. D. Blacks need longer. On the other hand, whites sunburn much faster. The best thing would be the ability to instantly change skin tone: pale skin on cloudy/winter days for faster Vit. D uptake, then deep black on hot days for UV protection. That would be so cool: instant photochromic skin.

they are letting them take over. Canada's rules will no longer apply to them. that's crap. they need to go back where they came from.

I think this whole thing stinks...if you do not want to accept a countries values and ways, don't show up...we do not want this crap in Canada...bottom line, I do not feel safe any longer in Canada for my children or grandchildren...send them back!

The UK courts have just imposed restrictive orders on Britain First, a political party, from entering Luton Town Centre. This has been done to appease Muslims as it is an area that has a high Muslim population. I am no supporter of Britain First and many of their membership are right wing thugs, but to ban people from an area because they hold anti-Islam views is effectively state sponsored non-Sharia no-go zones - it is time for the population of Europe to stand up to the invasion of Europe that has been going on for decades and has recently been accelerated significantly by the 'migrant' crisis. Islam has been trying to invade Europe for centuries - we even fought Crusades to stop the expansion, Charles Martel will be turning in his grave!!! Muslims, it is time to assimilate and understand that your barbaric and violent ideology deserves no special treatment or protection or leave for a country that supports your primitive world view! You victim complex is no longer being accepted by the majority population!!!!

Where I work ask customers if they need help. The longer they are there the more likely they don't know what they need, and could use help.\n\nHonestly if you linger I'll ask if you need help and so will others.

Maybe the CBC should look into why Black businesses don't want to hire black youth from troubled areas. Or maybe look into why Obama is silent on the 900+ homicides combined for Chicago and Detroit per year which might explain why white people no longer care if Obama doesn't care.

what we need is an enlightment movement with islam where the individual determines whats best for themselves rather than these literal interpretations. In the U.S. at my school many of the 3rd generation muslim kids my age are becoming integrated. Girls wear hats that conceal their hair and long sleeves that fit within their religions dress code instead of the burka and young men are very open to other people ideas such as alchohol use. The problem is when families control their children, as in any case really, and are less than open to change. As a son of an immigrant the most important step with integration is the elimination of your cultural identity, you leave your values in your own country because you are no longer in an enviorment where your opinion matters or is relevant. If muslims could adjust/conform their rules to fit the conscripts of western civilization everything would be dandy. Adapt to fit the society that you move into, dont try to reform society to better suit yourself expecially when your a foriegner.

As a young child I remember viewing the Amish women as being in a chronic 'state of funeral' based solely on their signature dark garb. It created in my own (childlike) logistics that this was a type of society which I needed to keep at a distance from myself. I disliked their choices, finding them muted in a world layered thick in rich and vibrant fields of color. The color black in ancient cultures (apparel) indicates the refusal to acknowledge or be unresponsive, to be closed off. I can understand how many real (natural) Canadiens can view Muslim women in their communities in a strange light. An interview with a very rich Saudi woman (living in Saudi Arabia), in how she spoke of her own frustration by not being allowed to own a drivers license, instead being driven in her husbands pricey Mercedes by a hired driver. She forced this issue on her local, home town government when she attempted to embarrass the officials of this primitive law, which in her view, had outlived its purpose and no longer applied to modern women in her culture. This interview went viral being shown on multi media networks and the town became embarrassed by the exposure. We should all applaud these women for their natural right to be free from outdated ritual and constraints continue to impose these indignities upon women. Muslim women living in Canada who wear the typical dark cloth across the features of the face and over the body are putting forth a message that they are 'second class citizens', are 'less than equal', are 'one mans property' - not unlike a common barn yard animal but possibly owning less importance than an animal since an animal can be traded for goods or services for profit. One can understand how real (natural) Canadien women can view this type of apparel as a slap in the face of their gender, a violent slap to go to the 'back of the line', 'take it lying down and like it'. So much is fear based and these Muslim women should shed their fear as layers of dark folds are sent falling to the floor - once and for all...

Toronto is over run. One of the reasons I no longer live there. 'Toronto the Good' is now Toronto the Trash Bin. \nI'm not a fan of Harper, but I will vote for him because of his stance on muslims and immigration.

How much longer will our fine neighbors to the north tolerate this moronic nonsense?

Absolutely nowhere in the UK or the USA is a 'muslim place' this is completely sickening and won't be happening for much longer

Oh yeah? you think its man made. I swear on god that if you prove me right, i will leave islam. I will no longer believe. You have read the Quran so it should't be to hard right? prove me. And its called a practicing person regarding the rest of your paragraph.

It is a serious problem, it has nothing to do with what you say. But yes Islamic streetss, i.e. streets where there is a mosque on it, just in Muslim areas. The solution is to enforce sharia law, we will see crime rates FALL. And we will no longer be a disrespectful nation!!!!\n\nPeace

The whole chapter especially Verse 10 says it is part of the punishment we read that God will also take away the ability to read (understand) the holy word because they have disobeyed it for so long. In particular, verse 10 states clearly that the prophets and seers themselves will be put to sleep and no longer receive revelation from the LORD.

Hold on Jackie,read your history, remember the raj,the British went to india,treated the citizens as slaves,women as sex objects.after the British left,dividing the country into three,causing major wars they came back to blighty. Many asain people came to Britain,suffered shocking racism,just to make life better for there family. Now their children are on a more level playing field,educated and aware, no longer bullied by racist drunk binge drinking youth.\n\nWhat goes around.........
