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.

Go back to your country and make it better. If everybody left America during the Civil War we will not be what we are today.

im a black tongan and was thinking of moving to canada next year - ig i wont be going there, now i need to find other countries to live in ??

First, I want to thank you for making this video. The health of a country, or the health of an individual which are clearly linked, is dependent on our ability to see ourselves and each other, and make necessary changes to improve in the areas that we lack personally, and as communities in our beautiful country of Canada and other countries as well. Well, it’s a work in progress. I appreciate how you’ve inspired us to speak about things that aren’t necessarily spoken about. At least not where I live and have lived in Canada. Thank you so much for that opportunity. It doesn’t matter about my opinion. What matters is sharing our own thoughts, feelings, and experiences because they aren’t debatable. \n\nWe are in violation of Multiple Human Rights violations against Inuit , Indigenous and Métis people by the United Nations. Most have no water to drink—not even boiled water and bottled water is available sometimes when it’s brought to reservations . Children don’t have the same access to books. So many thousands of bodies of children taken to residential schools from their parents arms and community for over 160 years yet the deep wounds aren’t given compassion by most people anymore and systemic abuse actively impacts them and therefore all of Us . We are all one whether we see people as other’ or not. We’re humans. \n They’re not seen in media unless it’s a bad story yet we’re only now teaching one mandatory class by non indigenous people. Solution: elders teach their grandchildren languages that weren’t erased by genocide and environmental /spiritual cultural practices and lifestyles before they’re gone by paying first people elders and streaming it into all Canadian classrooms so the children can see a future where they’re valued and all Canadian kids can get a full education and learn accurate history. Making canoes, baskets, sacred ceremonies, food growing (that they taught to pilgrims so they’d survive here), etc. No, I’m not indigenous. I’m an immigrant like all but the first people. They’ve an amazing culture that’s been all but lost . When we don’t see ourselves represented in any media, any careers, and start our lives in extended poverty based on our race, and all that was taken still today, it’s no wonder the teen suicide rate for indigenous youth is more than double / triple all non - indigenous youth. The numbers are growing. \nI live in Care due to my physical disabilities . An international nursing student worked for me providing personal care like showers, meal prep etc and over that year, she said she wouldn’t have moved here specifically because of a few things I’ve mentioned. She told me Canada was sold to people in her country of origin as a ‘multicultural’ safe haven without extreme racism still prevalent today and within our history. \n\nI’m ashamed of Canadian government promises for over 100 years that aren’t fulfilled. All children deserve healthy drinking Water and an education. Period. Especially, the ambassadors of this amazing land that they see as themselves without separation. That’s accurate. We will have nothing to stand upon if we don’t protect the earth. It will go on without us. \n\nI see many things in the comments I’ve seen or experienced, unfortunately. This is a beautiful country for so many reasons. It’s important that from such abundance we listen to your video, look at ourselves honestly and i feel, be the change we want to see in the world like Gandhi said.\n\nMuch love and healing from an All inclusive advocate. All life matters.

everyone not decendents of native americans should go back to their original heritage and country , that mean , Italians, Portuguess, British ect. everyone and their mamas that cross the Atlantic Ocean.

strange africans from the motherland say its a nice place to live if you complaing about white people racism thry african leaders corrupt racism sistemic ,u people would go back and kiss the floor of ur countries

Ever heard of a country call Jamaica ??? Its 99 percent black, they have one of the highest homicide rates in the ENTIRE WORLD. Go try living their amongst the locals and come back and tell us the outcome. Thats why I never complain about white people or their racism, I learn to deal with it and move on

Because the GOP has been using the Border as all types of propaganda to get their base excited about migrants crossing the Border. People from other countries hear all this nonsense they're talkin about open borders oh, of course we're going to have hordes of people coming in because they think it's real. I blame Trump

Let’s just go and take over Mexico! Bomb the shit out of the cartel if needed.. we can go invade other countries but not Mexico?? I don’t understand

Go to Tunisia and you will know what racism is,even Africa countries will discriminate against fellow black people,so sad

One thing to take note of is that amongst the UK US Canada Australia. The UK is the most visa friendly among all of them. Why is it that most people especially nigerians and other african countries are going to the UK than USA and Canada.. getting a visa to USA and Canada is not easy due to their foreign policy, and visa policy as well. Unless you're from a country their government really like then they give it to you without stress. The UK is more lenient with visa acceptance and of which that can change at anytime if they decide to review their policy.

Way to go Joe!! Your administration is doing amazing things for the country.

Cia and zionist system should stop trouble worldwide and their diaspora politics,,so everyone stay home and go for vacation to other country ,,but capitalyst system of zionist say no,,,trouble brings more money

You voted for Chavez you voted for your ignorant President Maduro! Now go back to your country and dealt with it there! Go there and protest there! In your country ! Don’t come here to be fed for free!!! We have enough people that we need to help that are US citizens!!!!

my country the United States is going to collapse.

the world is falling apart this is the end my friends, nobody wants to live in South America, Central America the United States government should just take it over what are we going to do with all the land nobody wants to live down there, it's really a sad State of affairs for the world that economically no one can make a decent living in these countries.

I grew up in the Caribbean and moved to Canada and I honestly love it. I know it’s expensive but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I drive around and see how beautiful this country is and I’m so happy to be here. Healthcare: I go to the hospital and know I’m waiting for 8 hours and just plan. I moved to a smaller town not far from the GTA but I hop in my car and see them. I’m not taking away from everything you girls are saying: I agree!!! However, I love this place?? and yes I complain about the cost like everyone else.

I see a lot of them many many they come here they have bad attitudes they spy around on people they follow people they get their own sex trafficking rings and prostitution Rings going they do what they do when they're in their country they do it here I could understand if they were working or you know did something positive yeah they may be illegal but they got to go through the regular system you claim Asylum get a job you don't go follow people around you don't go scan real close behind them and they don't even know you're standing behind him that's what I've experienced little short brown people they'll stand right behind your butthole in a store and they won't even know they're there and then you feel something behind you and then they act like they're there standing like right under your underarms and they act like oh oh no it's okay you're okay it's okay what the f*** you know I can understand if you're from a country where your lives are in jeopardy but you come here and you pull the same s*** on us on us Americans that's what I don't like y'all need to get your country back take your country back

yet the world don't like America but they migrate to America everyday, I wish USA borders should never be open to welcome such plots nor criminals in to their countries, why can't they go to China or Russia, they hate America but they travel to USA everyday.

Maybe we need to invade and take over their country...Us US citizens can't even afford to live here... You want to live in US then become a citizen.. otherwise GO HOME!!

Its great we are letting people move here by why are we going to shit hole countries for immigrants? All of these shit hole countries where people are coming from knows corruption and crime, if these is the best we can do, close the doors

Wow.... such an aggressive invasion of our country. It's all ok for everyone who accepts it until they kill your family in an auto accident with their placas temporalies and go straight back to Mexico and you never see justice because no one knew who they really were.

Go back and fight hard in your own countries.

It is crazy so where we going to do this let them break into America. All we have to do with stop letting them stay there babies citizens. 0 + 0 -does not equal 1. Give away too many freebies. Only way this is going to stop in stop letting them good job. This is a f****** invasion. Pretty some the United States would be theirs and we would be. Third-class citizens in our own. It will look like the country they're going to Total hell. America better wake up and wake up very fast. No other country will ever let this happen especially China. We better get and when it comes to stuff like this.

Go back home then and live freely like America is a free Country not under them Democrat

Well,well!Only in Canada,you say .How about the US,France and other countries in the world? I assume that there are no homeless people in the US or France...How many thousands and thousands die from drugs in the US and other countries in the world.Yes,the governments should do better and find/build special housing for these people.They should set up special\nclinics in order to detoxify these drug addicts.The problem is that people don't want to have these clinics in their neighbourhood because they are afraid of fights,their houses will go down\nin value and so on.I saw a documentary about the homeless people and I was surprised and not surprised about what they are saying.There is what they call the Old House Brewery in\nMontreal and there are about 50 beds (or more) and the homeless people can sleep,eat and shower.There are a lots of then who refuse to go to this place,some say that so people were\nmaking noises at night and they prefer to sleep under bridges ..Homeless people are everywhere in the world.DON'T FORGET THAT IT 'S ALSO THE JOB OF THE PROVINCES TO FIND\nSHELTERS FOR THESE PEOPLE...

Lmao jesus its never dawned on me that a black person would go to a white country for vacation lmao. Goodness I agree why would anyone do such a thing. Even white people leave their countries to come to ours. Aint nothin in the caucus for us...

True go home and fix your country it would help

Just because someone lives in a country that is dominantly white doesn't mean it's white supremacy, it is what it is and if people don't like it then they should live where the feel more comfortable, after all it's just psychological after Obama started using it to cause a division amongst the people. What about the areas that a dominantly black we don't go around say black supremacy, perhaps we should ?

All I am going to say about what this young lady is saying in this video is this: \n\nI strongly believe that what she is saying is 100% the truth! It is a real shame in this country (Canada) on a whole that racial discrimination still exist (in the political spectrum especially). \n\nThere is actially nothing to take pride in, in terms of racial relations in Canada at all.

Let's go brandon??? we're lead to believe this is all accidental, coincidentally trumps talking about fixing it?this was all a ruse and a set up, someone comes and trashes the country while someone else promises to fix it, even dems will support Trump if this gets bad enough

Why go to a European country during vacation? ?? I say the same thing. And, I get a crazy look when I say, I want to visit Ghana.

I might be homeless in the future with how prices and the economy is going now. I don't know what attracts these immigrants their country must be total shit for them to be so desperate to come here. The US been going downhill since 9/11 it feels like.

What country is this what is going on n they country that they want out

Have you been to Walmart lately???? I'm not joking it's a hundred percent illegals and they are using FOOD STAMPS for everything all day long! Not one of them speaks any English and they have no plans to become American, they cross the border with clenched fist held high to invade and take this country back! We haven't seen anything yet!!!! It will get so much worse than these little battles at the border! Pay no attention to CNN, (THEY LIE 24/7) instead just go to Walmart and see for yourself!!!!

Stop following american liberal democracy while thres still time, go communist so this thugs will no have no voice and you can kick them out of your country..

CNN you Gotta stop. We know the United States runs with immigrants or else this country ain’t shit. There’s a lot of people that don’t want to work so there’s definitely an agenda for all these people to come up this way. There are agents everywhere you go and whisper in your ear, and that whisper was for immigrants to come up to the United States for a cheap labor. Because there’s a lot of people that don’t want to work so it’s all part of the agenda news. People are just fake as they are.?️

Must u move what happens to Nigeria ur country. Every country in d world ? Nigerians must run go. Indians Filipinos would no .enough of all these let other countries relocate to nigeria

Isn't it interesting in every single country, on the face of the earth,blks are all screaming about racism, instead, of looking at themselves and going maybe we are causing, the problem there's a reason why every country in this earth has a problem with them,, and it's not everybody else

The Drug Cartels are forcing these people to flee their country. This is sad. If this keeps up America `s Military should go to war with the Drug Cartels and wipe them out. Cause they`re causing all of this mayhem.

It’s very sad ?that people have to flee the country for a better future.but maybe the government should be ashamed for putting the people in danger of fleeing to another country.but it’s fair to say that all the other countries can’t be responsible for the government failure.it’s very sad what the world ? has become.provity starvation war and suffering ?maybe all the government should get together and start working with each other instead of fighting against each other buy spending billions of dollars ? on war and fighting against each other.god help us and have mercy on us.because the animals on this planet ? is the worst.and they are called humans ?I am so sad watching all this people and specially young children going through this cruel situation.??

This is why a lot of white folks are pulling their money and leaving to go to black countries✅

Why are we seeing this? It’s because of our corrupt government. Now if we had the military shooting the people that comes across a certain line and leaving them there to die I bet people will stop crossing. I feel bad that it’s terrible in their country but it’s getting worse here bring them here is not going to make it better. It’ll make it worse for all of us.

United States of America needs Tear gas to control these Foreigners. Go control their own Country.

This country is going to shit smh

This country is going dodoo ?\nLet's move to Canada ?

The world in its country is need to go and work together not a part. More society goes and the strays apart from itself it will deteriorate and fail no matter whose country or what country and whose people and what people.

Why come come here to stand OUTSIDE in the HOT SUN, with your little babies and totters to BEG for our money, THAT WE AS AN AMERICAN BARLEY MAKING IT HERE OURSELVES. “WE DON’T HAVE IT TO JUST GIVE IT AWAY!”, so you can turn around and get in your nice car and go to your home, while your husband on the next block doing the same. Biden ain’t worried about if they make it over he probably sitting back laughing at how crazy this country going down to ?, and to be honest MOST of them are SOOOOO FREAKING DIRTY, don’t clean up behind them selves, kid’s run around in the store an the parents don’t say a damn word. I’m just saying “TRUMP!” did a DAMN GOOD JOB of keeping this nonsense from happening…

This is sickening to see, i feel bad for those that came here the correct way and got their citizenship. Ive read alot of comments that say well if the usa didnt have such stringent rules to become a citizen, then this wouldnt happen. Thats like applying for a job without giving them any information about yourself, and expecting to get that job with no experience. Is it so bad these people should learn about our history and culture, need to be bi lingual and go through the entire vetting process? The answer is they should because if we went to anyother country, we would be expected to learn about their culture. You cant even live in cananda unless you have a certain amount of money and takes years to become a citizen, why shouldnt our border be any different? The fact of the matter is our government needs to wake up, put politics aside and address the issues. I have no problem with people coming here, it they need to become legel and pay taxes like everyone else. We are sick of paying for people that do nothing to contribute to our economy. If this video doesnt offend you, then you are part of the problem.

There's problem through out the world and other countries is suffering as well my families came here the right way from Asia in the early 70s' we worked hard and became US citizens it's hard in the US so many homeless peoples in every states doing this isn't going to help! You got to do it the right way don't cheat those who are actually trying to come here correctly!
