It's an invasion...they seek asylum but only from the u.s . Why you ask? Lots of free sh!t. Brandon really fkd this country up . The absolute worst admistration ever.

I'm all for helping people when they are in fear for their life. But a lot of these people are traveling through like 4 perfectly good countries to get to the U.S because that's their choice but When you are seeking asylum you should have to pick the 1st country that you get to that is safe and they didn't do that they came to the states because that's where they wanted to go. And that's just not right. They are taking away tax payer funds that were set aside to help other people in need that now has to be diverted to help them.

You came to Canada for what overpriced housing, unaffordable food, low paying jobs, and communism? Bahahahhahahhahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahhahahahaha.. \nSucker didn't do his homework.\nWe Canadians are trying to seek asylum in the USA. Lol

I had a similarly friendly crossing from the USA into Canada a few years ago, went back and forth several times in a week. Best part was standing on line behind the guy seeking asylum from the USA and wanting to be a political refugee in Canada, because he felt the internet wasn't safe.

Any parent who teaches their children to do illegal actions doesn’t deserve to be a parent. The government did not separate your family YOU DID. Quit your whining and go go back where you came from. You lived in the US for 15 year now seeking refugee or asylum status in Canada.. What kind of parent are you? Lots of Latinos here in Canada lately. Immigration should do a round up in Walmart.

This is why I hate being a Canadian if you cross illegally u should be deported n not seek asylum just bullshit really

Undocumented immigrant (illegal immigrant)...has no legal basis for seeking Asylum in Canada. Another point, how many of these people is Canada expected to take? How much do the tax payers have to pay? \n\nMy parents came in legally and became Canadian citizens.

...he knows that’s not how asylum works, right? You have to seek asylum in the first country that you hit that’s “safe enough”.

This Immigrant Left the U.S. To Seek Asylum In Canada And Regrets It... ok but well they all regret it? This might not be a bad idea for someone, well in his case he is separated from his child but damn. It would be just so perfect get into the US while air plane tickets cost less, over stay your welcome lol, and then get out of America even though Trump is no longer President because America is always going to be crazy and then stay in Canada. Really if they are fling they should just go to Canada.

Dafaq imagine illegally immigrating to the US then doing it again in Canada but get turned down and seek asylum from the US

Asylum? Lol. From America? Could never happen... to seek asylum you have to prove your life is in danger from the way a country is run or war...

what makes these people more important than the people trying to seek asylum the proper way. Im sorry but as a Canadian I am beyond confused why we don't turn these people away at the border. there is a proper and improper way to seek asylum and this is not the way to do it

I don’t get why they think every country has to except them they should have tried to seek asylum in Mexico or the first safe country they get to. U can’t just decide which country u want to go to.

It is not clear the argument that they are asylum seekers and not economic migrants, many from my country present fake documents and in reality are just seeking a better economic life.

And in the UK we get people seeking asylum from France!

Some Americans think seeking asylum is somehow skipping the line or illegal, none of which are true. There is a line, a list. Those already on the list will maintain their position, the people requesting asylum may be able to live on Canadian land, temporarily, but they start at the end of the list. It's a waiting game regardless of which path you take.

none of those people are refugees, they're migrants, you're supposed to seek asylum in the first safe country you reach

He comes from the US... a third safe country. Asylum? There is the rule! No can do! Ship him back.\nAlso, learn English, you ignorant nincompoop. You are seeking for asylum, how come you are walking around working if the gangs want your neck? Preposterous.\nLook at the skilled migration lists. You and your puny skills are! not! needed!

She's welcome to seek asylum at my house

Asylum is usually a lie because who seeks asylum to live in the most violent areas of the United States. Just say you’re really seeking the American dream.

Oh so I can seek asylum in Canada?

We have people that are US citizens that want to seek asylum in Canada. Everyone gets a fair trial. Trudeau meant straight from the country

That's because you cannot seek asylum from a second point of entry, second country!! You need asylum from the first point. We need to remove that law!!

Probably not a good idea seeking asylum with a lawyer you just paid 15k. You seem pretty well off to me.

The thing is, Mexico is not in conflict for its people to seek asylum somewhere else. It is not good to just jump ship to any country and fight whoever so that you stay there. You struggled. You spent so much money on lawyers, when immigration laws don't approve of anyone going into US illegally and then file asylum. Sorry but the immigration lawyers just took your money and pretend to help you and that there are solutions. If a US citizen jumps ship to your country, would you declare that his presence there is illegal? US, Canada or any country wouldn't want that. It's like jumping on one's lawn, make house and wouldn't want to leave. That's how it is.

This is a propaganda piece. He's not an asylum seeker, he's an asylum SHOPPER. He went from Mexico to USA to Canada looking for the best social service programs for asylum seekers. It was denied because he was shopping and not seeking. Big difference. There are laws, you can't go to one country offering asylum then jump to Canada. I don't understand why people on here find that so hard to get.

Seeking asylum from the United States? I've never heard of that before.

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.

what was he seeking asylum for he should have stayed in his country

The problem is he may be seeking asylum but he is not Muslim so he will not be in favor with Trudeau. Trudeau only wants immigrants for votes, not citizens if they are not Muslims. If they were Muslims they would have had a ticker tape style parade for them. Tons of money a place to live and a welcome meeting with Trudeau.

Why didn't he stop in safer Mexico. I thought you have to seek asylum in the first country you get to that's safer than the one you left? I think he's trying to have his pick of a country that doesn't have too many people who look like him. That's racist.

Some people say come in legally, but he can't seek asylum just because he wanted to protect his family or want a better life for his children. It doesn't work that way. He has to have documentations or proof that his life or family's life is in DANGER. That is why he can't come in legally because he will not be approve on just those conditions, surprisingly even in Canada. When Trump was tough on the illegals on our southern borders, I remembered seeing Canada PM said they are welcomed in Canada. I guess many people heard it too and took him up on his offer. What happened Trudeau having to eat crow, eh?

So what's worse, this OR all the fake asylum refugee seekers coming from US and seeking freebies on our taxes. Yeah the US, these people are being persecuted... Yah Right. why not come when Turdeau is handing out money, hotel, and free food.

The thing that needs to be explained to all would be immigrants: Go to the US Embassy in your country or whatever country you want to immigrate to and seek asylum or visa first, if the consular won't give you documentation, don't even expect to be welcomed into the country later, and if you are in the US illegally, visa expired, schools out or you crossed the border illegally you are committing a crime that could land you in jail and deported, you may even lose the right to enter the US later! If you are here illegally now, go to your consulate, they can help you!

“ILLEGAL” Immigrant Left the U.S. and entered Canada ILLEGALLY To Seek Asylum In Canada And Regrets It, is what the title should read. But hey the media has a hard time telling the truth.

Sorry. . BUT I don’t feel sorry at all for them. I’m Mexican. And the fact that they had all this money and I’m guessing the wife has free time to self care and watch the kids she could’ve atleast learned to speak English. They don’t seem to be in desperate need!! These are the typical CENTRAL AMERICAN. They seek asylum but yet have money to wear and buy things ‘poor people’ can’t afford. The lady is plumped with her dyed and make up done while the kids are fashionable and look at the car. It’s not new but that vehicle kills gas like crazy. So no!!! I don’t feel bad!

Most of these comments are disgusting! He went into Canada to seek asylum because he knew that he wouldn't be granted asylum with Trump in office in the USA. He is doing it the legal way filling out the paperwork to seek asylum. Unless you're Native American, your ancestors were once immigrants! And not all of them came legally either! El Salvador has a lot of political instability, there is a lot of crime and murders constantly happening. He has a good reason to escape that as anyone would. I'm shocked how much none of you have a heart, it's really sad. That's why the world is the way it is today. God help us all!

By these comments, Canadians hate immigrants even more than American white supremacists. This man is scared for himself and his family. His case is just ignorance. He doesn’t know the proper ways to go about it. Him getting a lawyer and what not has showed he’s a bit smarter than many immigrants seeking asylum but most cases people don’t know the proper way to migrate out of their countries. They just know that there are better and safer opportunities elsewhere. As for everyone whining about why he doesn’t speak English, not EVERYONE CAN LEARN AT THE SAME PACE. There’s people that live in other countries for years and only know enough to get around and then theres people that just pick up on languages In less than a year. The language doesn’t matter. I’m sure he knows enough to communicate with people. I’m more surprised at the amount of people that law this and law that. Yes there are laws that should be followed but do people even consider morality? I hope none of you alls countries go to war or are over taken and you have to try to seek asylum in another country because I highly doubt you all would escape the ‘proper’ way. Most of you in the comments are sick and sad and will never truly understand the despair these people feel until you’re put in their position. Don’t bother replying to this comment because I won’t answer. I said what I said.

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's seeking asylum and wears nicer clothing and drives a better car than mine ?.

seeking asylum from what?

He left El Salvador seeking asylum. Why didn’t he stop in Mexico? Or go to another Spanish speaking country? He obviously resisted learning English in order to fully assimilate. Oh, I see he wanted to bring the culture from which he was fleeing to North America. That’s real smart

He was an illegal Mexican immigrant to the USA and he is seeking asylum in Canada. Asylum from what? The oppression in the USA?

Asylum is the new word for maybe they will buy it.\nAm i missing something?\nAre there humans being sacrificed by the Mayans again or something?\nI don't think people can seek Asylum if there government dosn't give a shit about them, or i would seek Asylum in Paraguay.\nSo why Asylum?\nIt's simply i wont bother doing it the right way and just try to do my business illegally in the United States!!\nOOPS!! Maybe i need to move now?\nYou are always going to fly under the radar when you are here illegally, your pay will always be at rock bottom shit.\nDo you want your children to deal with that when they find out?\nOr are you just using them for your own subconscious gain?

1st. Don't call our irragular migrant imagrints ileagals please it is not against the law to seek asylum. That crappy kind of language may work in your country but not ours thankyou. 2nd your a biggot and should be taken off the air ass hat

Is this not the same thing you have to do in U.S. if you are seeking asylum.

Just remember those Canadian illegals were initially legally admitted into the United States first, butt heads. Not like these people washed up on Canada's east coast.\n\nPutting immigrants up, legal or illegal, in motels in border towns has been standard practice for years and years. Not new news. \nMaybe the residents of other Canadian cities are starting to notice this as more and more illegals seek asylum from Dotard\n\nReally, what are we going to do with them? to leave them on the streets? Get a brain its not like they can go anywhere without sticking out like a sore thumb.\nA lot cheaper than putting them in detention centers which do exist and are full of vetted deportees already.

this dude doesnt deserve to be in canada. he is not seeking asylum because he ispersecuted. he is seeking refuge from the law. gtfo.

so the guy is a criminal that tries to avoid deportation and flees to another province to try again. You failed to seek asylum, we have no obligation to accept you just cause you showed up. You got rejected, so leave.

So many people seeking asylum \nImagine organizing, the level of solidarity could be so massive it\nCould transform their Homeland. Then no asylum is needed
