The Canadian president is a moron he tries to throw this out for publicity it backfires because he doesn't necessarily live in the poverty and the desperation at Immigrant families living so he doesn't know that when they hear him say something it's going to spread like wildfire and communities are going to shift and things are going to change and then he goes on the defensive sending some a****** to Los Angeles to tell everybody their hopes are false inshort that's all he said at least in this documentary he probably just wanted high-skilled immigrant labor for cheap not blue collar workers and either way Canada belongs and will always belong to indigenous people no matter how many people speak French in that cold-ass funky place from Cali with love we are all citizens of Earth can't wait till this old mentality goes away under the truth

Everybody always want to immigrate to the north if your life is in that much Danger you had to pass through to other countries before making it to the US or Canada why not settle in Mexico Guatemala or he'll try going south to escape.

Why then would your prime minister saying that welcome to any immigrant if u are not wanted ,we will receiving you.that wants to work and have a good living that's a lie. An here I thought that the Prime Minister was cool and had something different to offer to different cultures of the world.BS.....

You mean illegal border hopper. Criminal. Not immigrant. What is it with the left not being able to call a spade a spade. He snuck across Canadian border too. He still has t learned. You cant just go where the hell you want because you're brown.

I feel bad for Latinos.\nTheir world sucks and other worlds don't want endless immigrants who build sucky worlds

Why would Canada have to accept all those illegal immigrants,because they can't get work in their country,then they illegally cross our border and,,hey they don't want me in USA then Canada you give me work,,go you asshol true proper Chanel like every legal immigrants and only then you can ask for work and be accepted in this beautiful country,period!

RE: Canadian healthcare, my wife broke both her hips in 2017 in two separate falls, she was admitted immediately to hospital without delay and operated on the next day (half hip replacement), after physio and occupational therapy she was discharged and provided Homecare, 16 times per week plus weekly Day Hospital. Our cost for both operations was roughly $160.00 for parking spots for me so I could visit her and about $140 in Tim Horton doughnuts for staff. The system does not have enough of certain types of specialists thus wait times for those specialists, and there are wait times for elective surgery. The system has not really been reviewed since its inception in the 1960s but making significant changes is the third rail of Canadian politics and a hard look is justified after 70 years. Re: illegal crossings; The gentleman in the video has a problem in that the US and Canada have signed a “safe country” agreement and neither will accept refugees from the other as both Canada and the US are deemed “safe havens”. He crossed illegally, if he had crossed legally he would have been immediately turned back at the border but he clearly entered the country between border crossings and was likely arrested and released on recognizance but not returned immediately as the agreement is silent on illegal entries (yes, seems a touch strange). As many people are leaving the US for Canada the system is overwhelmed. Tent cities have been set up in Quebec and public housing used in Manitoba to house illegal immigrant pending processing - those with criminal records are held for deportation. Canada has accepted roughly 25,000 Syrian refugees from camps in that part of the world. These refugees were first vetted by the UN then Canada. These refugees are completely different from the people crossing the border illegally from the United States. This pales to the 75,000 boat people accepted after the fall of Saigon. Canadians have been generally accepting of refugees but wants the process guided by the rule of law. Immigrants are a separate from refugees and the rules governing their entries into Canada are different.

Poor kids :( these people only want to escape the death and destruction we caused in their countries. Our disastrous neoliberal policies and years of intervention in their homelands have ruined Central America. The west is extremely hypocritical when they blame immigrants and fail to understand the context.

He's illegally in the US and never learns to speak English then goes to Canada and doesn't speak English or French? He hasn't put forth much effort to assimilate. Try coming through Ellis Island in the late 1800s and early 1900s and not knowing English. You're an evil racist if you say these things but it's the truth. If you want to move out of your country you learn the Language and assimilate. The problem with the immigrants from Central America is they want to live in our country but continue to live life as they did there. Assimilate or leave.

Please keep your illegal immigrants in the US, we don't want their sorry asses in Canada. We want legal immigration only....

They won't assimilate with people and want to take over non-Muslim countries. The more immigrants allowed into Europe, U.K.,Canada, Sweden, Australia and many others, the more trouble people are going to have with them! They simply can't live with people who don't believe in Islam.

He seems like an honest and good guy who just wants to provide for his family and ensure a better future and life for them. I can respect that fully and I admire that greatly.\n\nBut a big HA!! to all those looney liberals who don't know anything about Canada and think that everyone has it so much better over in the north. I'm from the U.S. and I LOVE both the U.S. and Canada, I do. Besides its looney lefty politics, Canada has some beautiful places to see, especially in British Columbia for me. However, Canada is just like the rest of the world; they have their problems, they have their crime, they have their poor and they have STRICT IMMIGRATION policies.

Who is helping our people who live from pay cheque to pay cheque \nOur seniors who our being forced out of there homes\nIf you are homeless they say it is because these people have mental problems and don't want helped \nCanadians are suffering \nMister prime minister respectfully what are you doing about it \nAbsolutely not a dam thing\nBringing immigrants to work the fields is a joke \nRespectfully a born here cannadian

Only if they can use you for political gain\nCanadians don't want any more immigrants that tax are pay cheques. Justin can take them in\nHow many live at his many homes

He must be racist for suggesting that people should follow the law! That's what a sjw would say at least.\nImmigration is a complicated issue. I believe if you want to work, come to the USA! Before that can happen though we need to reign in our social welfare. I am sure that will discourage a few people from coming but we can't subsidize an immigrant's work or anyone's work for that matter. \nAnother is that if your country is full of violent gangs, or a tyrannical leader, or a socialist nation than maybe you should stay and try to fix the place. \nIf you are not willing to defend freedom, why should we defend and die for your freedoms?

So, they illegally immigrated to the US, and when the US got strict on illegal immigrants, you illegally immigrated to Canada? I'd put them on the first plane back to where they came from, and deny them any possibility of every coming back.\n\nYou want to come to Canada? Start by showing us the respect of following our laws.

It doesn't matter if he's wearing a Haji or whatever it's the fact he's an immigrant and nobody wants immigrants in their country

I feel bad for them but as a Canadian, do I want them to become Canadian (prob will not pay income tax cause they won’t make a lot of money, being near poverty line)(and will require lots of help from the government)? Or someone from a rich country that goes through investment method to gain PR card (injecting 100-200k into local companies in cash for pr card)(they will most likely buy expensive stuff from our local economy). Let me know what you think guys think. I want 90% of the immigrants to be the latter. Can’t let all the poor peoples in or we will go bankrupt as a nation. This is reality

I feel sorry for this man and his family! But I wonder how sorry he feels, knowing that by coming to Canada, he and his fellow immigrant countrymen have, taken jobs away from Canadians? 1500 people like myself that have worked here all their lives? I was working in the meat industry for over fifteen years, just to have my employer, take my skilled job and give it too an unskilled worker, under the temporary foreign worker program. That program was set up by the federal government for unskilled workers, coming to Canada for unskilled jobs that Canadians didn't want. My job was a skilled job, that I had to work my way up from the bottom, to the level of employment, that only skilled workers were capable of doing. This temp program was for unskilled employment only! But if your employer is big enough in the industry, the government allows them to bend the laws of the land, and give your jobs to any undereducated immigrant that comes along...WTF? Canada wake up!!!

This is a sad story for this poor guy and I feel sorry for him.But how can anyone live in a country for more than 15 years and not speak the country's language fluently?.It really boggles my mind.C'mon.If I were to live in Germany then I'd make sure that I could speak German before moving over there.That's a crying shame.Shame on him for not speaking English while living all this time in America.I reckon that many of these illegal immigrants from Hispanic communities just don't seem to care to learn the language or to assimilate to our culture and traditions.They give us the impression that all that they want is the benefits that the country has to offer them.I guess immigration on both countries should deport the ones who've been living in the country illegally for many years and can't speak the language or don't wanna assimilate.There's just no excuse for not learning the language during all this time that he had lived in America.\nOn the other hand these people are morons for trying to go to Canada.Canada's immigration laws are pretty restricted and even tougher than in the United States.Canada will never give them a heart felt warm welcome and they should know better.They should know that Canada is a POINT OF NO RETURN.

heavy immigration is just hurting everyone... the Immigrants country is hurt because they lose a motivated member of their country and a strain is put on the new country by having to deal with undocumented immigrants.\nif people put half the energy and money into fixing their surroundings instead of just leaving to burden other countries, they just might start to fix their own homes... making it better for future generations. \nImmigration should be very strict and hard to do, any country has every right to be extremely selective about who they take in and who they don't...\nthe most motivated individuals, that want change, all leaving their country only hurts their country more...

Trudeau wanted to stick the finger to Trump with his loose talk about welcoming immigrants. A form of virtue signalling.

it doesn't matter where he is from what matters is that he put his family through all of this because he dodnt want to do the legal process. i come from immigrants and they did the process (not cutting corners) and they were welcomed citizens and still are. some illegal immigrants dont care for their families or they would have started the process a long time ago.

So you're accepted into the USA under a protection program, when it starts looking like your program is ending, you jump ship and start trying to ignore your program that your in that states you have to go home...\n\nThe mere fact that you're escaping to Canada shows you don't care about you immigration program and agreement, so why would we want to accept you? You'll just take as much as you can from our resources and economy and then jump ship the first chance you get, when you think there's a better oppurtunity.

What a shock, a 1st world country doesn’t want undocumented, illegal immigrants in their country to use services reserved for its citizens.

Asylum for what? what's with the recent trend of everyday economic immigrants wanting asylum? You're not be persecuted. You're not escaping war or slavery. Queue jumpers, that's what they are

This guy spent all this time in America and he can’t speak English? America is the worlds melting pot we welcome immigrants that want to be AMERICANS! Not people that want to turn my country into something other then it is.

Question. \nAs a centrist I get it, illegal immigration sucks, the running, the hiding, the stress and all.\nBut if bleeding heart liberals really want them here, why dont they open the doors to them, literally, open your homes to them and let them sleep in your guest room

People should focus on building stable governments and economies in their own countries. You can't just expect the western world to continue to take in millions from failing countries. It's destroying the west. I want to preserve my own country, culture, and heritage for my children. Legal immigrants are welcome who have skills and who embrace American culture. Same goes for Europe. Enough is enough.

He's not an immigrant he's an illegal alien there is a big difference. I don't want him in my country and I doubt the USA wants him either and for good reason. You cannot just pick and choose the laws you wanna follow and walk over the boarder and cheat the system. All that does is hurt the country and it's a spit in the face for all those real immigrants who wait,work and pay lots of money to come over here. Deport them all and build a wall.

seeeee i dont get it.. why all the hate for this man? he literally just wants to move to canada to live his life. why is that such a bad thing? this is what pisses me off about immigration...... but also, why doesnt he just move back to el salvador and live his life there??? he's got money, and its his homeland. why doesnt he just move there?

Title is misleading. He is ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT. We don't want him here because he can't work so therefore we have to give him welfare. Go back to wherever he was from and apply it properly.

If people want to get up in arms about something, they should target the people who keep money in tax havens. One billionaire's dodged taxes would be more than all the refugee and immigrant aid that we squabble about. Don't target the people who are trying to protect their children by moving them to safety.

Islam is different from other ethnic minority immigrants. They don't want to assimilate, they want to take over

People just don't get it Muslims hate everyone who is not a Muslim there is no peace with these people, Canada wake up they will pass laws to stop u from saying anything against Islam ????? what ???? ya that's right they are trying to pass a law for this and as we sit on our hands it will get passed...Liberals and CBC are a bunch of Fakenews!!!!!!!! ruining our country Liberals do not care about the white people and our way of life they just want to stay in power.......Finally i'm not sure if anyone in Canada is watching the rest of the world but Immigration of Muslims just destroys countries turns them into civil wars......now the back lash of this post will be i'm racist but i'm white and proud of it i love Canada the way it is and whats wrong with this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Justin Trudeau should learn from other countries mistakes regarding bringing in so many immigrants. It seems they do not want to assimilate into our culture but rather change our countries basic culture to suit their own. To me that means trying to take over our land and impose the laws of their land on us. Many hate us, and i for one am very leery of the ones unvetted. \\i do not want sharia law/ Canada will soon become an Islam country if we are not careful. All of the ones allowed in should be under scrutiny before permission is given, This does not make me racist. Germany and so many other European countries have been ruined by allowing to many unvetted Muslims in... https://www.rt.com/news/375507-german-government-refugees-mistakes/

I am muslim and I completely understand why would canadians hate muslims being part of their land. well it's their land not ours (muslims) .. so I actually think that muslims have no right to impose themselves unless they are canadians and not immigrants. well any case I'm neither this not that. Juts wanted to say what I was thinking. Have a nice day.

The niqab is SCARY. The burqa is scary. The first time I saw a woman wearing a black burqa head to toe it sent a cold chill right up my spine. The niqab is anti-women. It is NOWHERE in the Quran. BAN THE BURKA. BAN THE NIJAB. We do NOT WANT Islam in the west. It's why Christians and Jews are not immigrating to Arab countries. We do not want any part of your culture. It's is a culture of the 7th century. It is a culture of cavemen. Stay AWAY from us.

Maybe immigrants of colour would have an easier time if they actually acted like immigrants of past to this country, the Italians, Portuguese etc they came to Canada and they didn't ask for handouts like the ones who come these days from India, Sri Lanka etc who get on welfare. In the past they came with the intention of actually becoming Canadians and assimilating, the ones now come and all they want to do is create their own little old countries here in Canada.

Immigration is changing everything about Canada. I want a binding referendum on immigration, but we all know that our corrupt politicians will never allow that. They realize Canadians would fully vote against further immigration.

REFUSE ANY FURTHER IMMIGRATION!  Really want to go back 1,400 years and live like that? NO!

Red has swept across Canada, so as soon as Trudeau gets sworn in then even more immigrants will have easy access. Come one come all. Don't have a job? No problem, we'll set you up with everything you need/want. Want to wear a niqab, burka or whatever no problems. Want to be sworn in as A Canadian citizen while wearing a burka? No problem. This problem should have been nipped in the bud years ago, but our politically correctness is killing OUR way of life. Just wait until there's enough of them to have control over who becomes Prime Minister, then we are Really Fucked.

I feel very sorry and worried for Canadian as your new PM loves immigrants! I foresee more mosques building up in the near future and they will pushed for sharia law. Good luck to you guys and hope God save Canada. Oh, your new PM wants to legalized marijuana???!!! What on earth was he thinking but hey he won the premiership so obviously Canada love him!

I live in Ontario and just saw a 5 yr. old girl totally covered. Why come here only to continue with those traditions? I thought these immigrants wanted a different life.\nOhhh Canada. Would they stand on guard for thee?

***Google & YouTube search: 'Inbreeding in Islam' & 'bestiality in Islam.'  Muslim immigrants do NOT intergrade to non-Muslim society.  They want non-Muslims to intergrade to their Islamic culture, & convert to Islam, & follow the Sharia Law.  1 out of 4 weddings among Muslims are between first cousins.  Retarded Muslim children are very common & serious problem that sucks out enormous amount of money from the governments of host nations.  You can't blame or hate countries (especially European countries) that pass laws against Muslim immigrants who will NOT intergrade or stop inbreeding & bestiality.

the reason why peaple hate them is simple they immigrate in a contry and they  start want change everything they doesnt like they can not just chut up and beacame normal Citizen  and that why everybody hate them

the fact is that they are not in the middle east no more different cultures and ways of life in the west if you cant stand it then why go? and that moderate Muslim woman said it herself she fears for her life for just talking against just the extreme stuff in Islam and how some of them hate the west and a re becoming more extreme  \n\nimagine if it were the other way around and westerners were immigrating to the middle east trying to implement christian fundamentalism and kicking and screaming when no bible laws are implemented in Egypt or Arabia ect id say most Muslims in those country's would run the westerners out no problem and kill a few while at it and its sadly true it would happen call me Anti-Islamic all you want the fact of the matter is its Islam that says i should be killed its Islam promotes control over the world under sharia law not me its Islam that promotes jihad and the killing of non-believers you have to understand why people are afraid in the 1st place and i don't see many Muslims standing up denouncing the extremists ether which is shocking coming from a religion with over a billion people

wearing hijab,burqa,niqab has nothing to do with being more religious, they jus want to push extreme islam more into society to see how much they can penetrate, its part of ther inferiority/superiority complex. where as in muslim countries non muslims need to hide ther identity in fear of ther life. this is the fault of western politicians allowing muslim immigration. islam does not even beleive in freedom of religion or freedom from religion. u cant hav a secular,democratic country with a non democratic, non secular totalitarian ideology. geert wilders is right, dont make the same mistakes as europe. let muslim countries take in muslim refugees,asylum seekers etc etc

And all this liberal degenerative idiots still want to accept immigrants everywhere...

People who say it's the white males in power trying to oppress the Muslims with their culture need to wake up, If these people want to live in a society that abides by Sharia law they should have stayed in their own country or assimilated to the dominant culture in the country they immigrated to. But you have all of these people coming here because they've ruined their own countries with the same beliefs and values that they are trying to impose in the counties they immigrate to. It makes me sick.
