What did he think was gonna happen? You were already in the US, which comparatively speaking to Central America, is much safer by every metric. Why would you then leave the US to come to Canada? Of course you can’t seek asylum because you’re not a refugee. \n\nDon’t get me wrong, I believe that if people follow the legal procedures for the country they wish to reside in, they should at least have a chance at residency. However, this guy is an economic migrant, and if he wishes to live in Canada then you shouldn’t be filing for asylum, you need to apply for residency. But the fact that he was already undocumented in the US means that he risks deportation if he re-enters. Congrats, you played yourself and you’ve put your family in jeopardy. \n\nAbusing the asylum claims system is going to ruin it for those who actually need help. Get it right or go back home.

They need to enter the right way instead of forcing their way in. Apply for citizenship of asylum or work visa or tourist visa or just any other way but this way because it looks dangerous

If these people are using asylum as their reason for leaving their own countries of origin why are they not applying for asylum in the first country that they invaded that does offer asylum protection, Instead they travel straight thru to invade our country and burden Americans and selfishly block legal entry immigrants and selfishly block all Americans homeless in the streets because of their willing to work for less wages disruptive to Americans from being able to support ourselves house ourselves because resources designed for helping us has been diverted to illegal aliens invading our country because the truth is that it's an invasion from 150 some odd countries and even housing is using excuses to remove Americans from participating in housing aid for the soul purpose of creating space for them by ousting Americans from taxpayers dollars design for being used on us

Venezuela does not border Texas or anywhere in America. Why are they allowing them to apply for asylum,,?

Policy change in October, but how long did it take these peoples to walk all the way from Venezuela through entire Mexican lands to get to this border... if they had already left Venezuela and were on the journey , they would be stuck... \nIts not as if they took a plane ticket this morning or days ago from Venezuela to Juarez and just ignored the changes... \nCompassion.\n Let them apply ! Let them put in applications for asylum.

Your seeing this because once any undocumented foreigner is on US soil then they are automatically awarded an opportunity to apply for asylum.\nI know this as a fact as I cross the border every week since 2008.\nNow they make you show by hand your passport at a check point just a few yards away from your vehicle actually entering US soil to be checked by a border guard to gain entry into the US. This is a new law thank you Biden. \nI would say this started two yrs ago where they are double check pointing border crossers.

Applicants should be required to apply from their home country, and any asylum claim needs documentation for their claims. The rules of asylum required you to apply to the first country that you step into which would disqualify the majority of these attempted border crashers.

How are they all militant without any weapons in hand trying to cross the boarder ?Funny enough the people who stormed the capital in January weren’t Militant and they were ready to lynch people and carried all types of weapons. These people are desperately looking for better lives . The shouldn’t need to go in illegally but if there was transparent policy where they can go through proper process without being criminalized legally applying for asylum and locked in concentration camps waiting for verdict without right if speech or to get a lawyer a lot of people wouldn’t need to cross illegally. Not even speaking of the necropoltics in immigration laws and how the system plays on peoples emotions with these moral panics and media narratives. It’s really sad . They are better off going to Canada or Europe honestly . They might not be militants over there

Enough is enough! These stories of chaos, stresses me out.\nHow on earth are we to handle all these people from Venezuela, Cuba, Central America. Haiti is a lawless place too.\nAll ask for asylum, but that excuse doesn't fit because they aren't being persecuted for religious or political reasons. Asylum laws state the asylum seeker must apply at the first democratic country they arrive at and that's not the US.\nThese are economic migrants and some fleeing drug and domestic violence. \nCanada and the US recently agreed that Canada gets to deport back to the US, any migrant that crosses into Canada from the US....great for Canada but not for us.?\nCanada has a great system with a list of all legal migrants. If you're not on the list, you get no services.\nThe countries that send their people up here are thrilled because the remittances sent back to these countries amount to billions of dollars and props up their economies....US$58.5 billion was sent to Mexico, from migrants in the US! ?

1. They can’t speak English so they have NOTHING to Work in USA unless they want to live homeless in USA.\n2. They are broke and have NOTHING to share with Americans.\n3. They should be deported immediately to Mexico as soon as they Enter USA.\n4. They should attempt a mass entry to a country has similar culture and language with Mexico in 21 Latin countries.\n5. They should be Rejected and deported immediately if they applied for Asylum in USA.

As a native Venezuelan who legally immigrated to the United States, served in the Navy for 22 years, and became a U.S. Citizen, and a contributing member of society, watching this enrages me. No one has the right to come into any country illegally. I get their plight, but they still need to enter correctly. I know Venezuela's situation is terrible, but either fix it (by whatever means you have) or apply for asylum. Forcing yourself into a sovereign nation is illegal.

The asylum system is being abused. No country can sustain 2 million immigrants per year no matter how they come. Let them in and fly them directly home. If you're fleeing danger in Venezuela and you're in Mexico, you're no longer in danger. Especially when you've traveled through multiple countries. If the danger is in your country, cross the border and apply for asylum in the next country.

I thought the US and Canada had a legal agreement not to accept immigrants coming to Canada from the USA? I have no problem people seeking asylum and I feel we have a duty to process them. I have a problem if they come through the US as they should be processed there and applying for immigration to Canada.

Yeah arresting them does nothing when they claim asylum. Turn them the flick around by gun point!! NO ILLEGAL ENTRY YOU WILL BE SHOT ON SIGHT this should be posted and armed guards ready to do their duty to CANADA and keep those immigrants out! If they wanna come here so bad then they all should be forced to APPLY TO CANADA for entry. What they are doing is criminal and maggot behaviour. It should be stopped…. Just saying

2:02 - 2:21 So basically if a migrant crosses the road, they will get a free ride to the official immigration office where they can apply for asylum.

Maybe I missed it, but did they change the international requirement to apply for asylum in the first safe country you enter? Most of the people entering the U.S. and Canada should be immediately returned based on just that one requirement!

they aren't asylum seekers, they have a safe country to go to, they just want to go to Canada. They want to pick and choose. Deport them and tell them to apply as the economic migrants they are!

There is supposedly an agreement between Canada and the US called the Safe Third Country Agreement which means illegal immigrants are supposed to apply for asylum in the first country they come to. Unfortunately, because of Trump, the Canadian government doesn't trust any US government to give these asylum seekers a fair hearing. Second, this agreement only applies to official border crossings, not unofficial ones like Roxham Road. Trudeau is absolutely right in wanting to renegotiate the Safe Third Country Agreement.

People should know the difference between an illegal immigrant and someone applying for asylum.

This whole situation is untenable. It is devastating to the migrants that have to leave their homes and try to enter either the United States or Canada to apply for asylum. No amount of border protections or treaties or walls will solve the problem. And that problem is the political, economic, and social conditions in their countries of origin. In my opinion, Canada and the United States (more so the United States) need to step up to see if there’s any way to help politically and economically stabilize those so people would not need to leave their homes in search of a better life. Yes, it would cost money… But there would be definite dividends in the future as we would no longer have to invest as much money on our borders. I very much realize not only the complexity of the problems in Latin American countries, but also the complexity of what I am suggesting. But everything we have done so far has been useless, so we need to change our thinking.

Illegal immigrants pay on average $15,000 to drug cartels to get smuggled into the US. It costs only a few hundred dollars to legally immigrate here, but it does take time, and a background check. The requirements for asylum are persecution for race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or social group. The Chinese students at Tiananmen Square would have qualified. Those who are persecuted for criticizing the Taliban, Kim Jong Un, or Miguel Diaz-Canel would qualify. Living in a high crime neighborhood or wanting a better life does not qualify for asylum. If it did, all of Compton could claim asylum in Sweden.\n\nHe can delay his asylum hearing all he wants. If he doesn't qualify, then no amount of time will change that. Fair means the rules apply. \n\nEvery country has the sovereignty to determine their own immigration rules. How many. Minimum requirements like no criminal history and no committing crimes when here on a visa. The number let in needs to coincide logistically with the availability of benefits, housing, and what the jobs markets need.\n\nPoliticians are negligent when they raise false expectations just to make themselves look good. Be honest and clear about the requirements to get a work visa, claim asylum, or become a citizen.

Good morning sir, we are living in Malaysia from last 9 years, we are from Pakistan.. me, my wife and 3 kids. We have applied for asylum here, our process is very very slow.. please help us and guide us how we can move there.. please tell us the process, if possible kindly make a video about refugees how we can shift there from Malaysia,

Okay. A lot of people here have no clue how the immigration system works both in the US and in Canada. “He should just have come here legally”. Well, most of the time a legal path to emigrating to the US/Canada just does not exist, and its getting more and more impossible to be granted asylum. In the US you can’t just apply for a work visa, you can’t just apply for a green card. You got to be eligible to apply for it. For a work visa you need a job offer first, you need proof of income and most of the time the employer will have to prove they couldn’t find an American to take the position. To get a green card you either have to get married to an American, invest at least $500,000 or try applying for asylum (which is almost impossible to get nowadays). ALSO to apply for asylum you need to be either inside the US or at a US port of entry. Try to be less “patriotic” and more empathetic. People flee their countries because of war, violence, cartels, gangs, terrorism, etc. They are desperate and want to protect their families and have a better life. If you were in their shoes and staying in your home country put your family in great harm you would have done the same thing. People need to stop judging, stop being selfish and start leading with empathy.

Western nations seriously should start mandating laws that asylum seekers must apply for asylum in their country of origin, this man is clearly a welfare shopper who has no right what so ever to be in Canada, just another fine example of a broken system that’s being taken advantage off.

He spent over a decade in an English speaking country and doesn’t even attempt English. He stays in a good country for over a decade and doesn’t even apply legally, and then leaves and tries to seek asylum in another good country? He can’t stay, surely.

They entered two Countries against the law. They should be deported. Personally, I think if anyone enters a country against the law, shouldn't even be allowed to apply for asylum, they should be deported on the spot

theres a difference between illegal immigrants and immigrants. Just because America doesnt want illegal immigrants doesnt mean theyre against immigrants. you can come to this country and any other country and try to apply for citizenship but to sneak in and all of that is not the way to go. Theres people who ACTUALLY need to seek asylum but instead you got people like him taking up space. smh

He is stupid and lazy. If you applying for asylum you must have documented proofs of you political persecution. Not just “I want to live in Canada”

I’m not Canadian, so I don’t have as much of an understanding of their process; however, much like in the U.S., you have to have a legitimate and compelling reason to seek asylum, for example, those escaping a literal war in Syria where death was imminent. Not that I don’t have compassion for this man wanting to better his life and that of his family, but seeking asylum from El Salvador because they have a lackluster economy, crime and violence (while a good enough reason to relocate elsewhere) isn’t a case for asylum. *shrug* Asylum is meant for exigencies, emergencies, imminent danger, which doesn’t look like it applies here. My guess is this man thought seeking asylum would be a way to go around needing expensive documents to do a standard immigration and the process flopped on him.

Immigrants that apply and get vetted as against asylum seekers. Two different standards.

You need to be political asylum seeker, to get qualified, jail time, you need to be well known, articles, proves. Or religion freedom asylum seeker, ex muslim converted to other religion living in an oppressive religious Muslim regime from Afghanistan, Iran, for example not a moderate country, sexual orientation like gay from any-oppressive muslim country mind you, most muslim countries are kind of moderate. Economic refugee hardest one, just apply from your country in consulate , don’t break law then ask for assylum unless it was a life threatening situation like civil war

Canada and the U.S have a treaty or whatever saying applicants for asylum have to apply in the country they first set foot in. Good luck dude.
