I was so scared and frightened when I first saw Muslim that person is covered with black attire and I see only eyes, one man is accompanied with long beard saying angrily side side for lady, that is 12yrs ago.

lil potato man gave false hope to people who were admitted law breakers, stupid!!

The way you need to do these things is not to show up on the border, but to apply from where you are. He started by being illegal in the U.S., rather than actually applying for entry as a refugee. Then, years later, he showed up on the border of Canada, again without first applying. All nations must have laws that are enforced, else you have anarchy. Anarchists may believe this is a good thing, but nobody is safe in a state of anarchy. So, this man and his family now have a problem because he did not follow the rules.

They are very nice and warm. It is easy to fall into this trap. Once your in, then the fun starts...SHARIA girls. Oh and take the beating from your man and give him respect because He is twice as worthy as you... that's IN the HADITH.

I KNOW THIS MAN IS GOING THRU A HARD TIME ! IT'S WORSE WHEN YOU HAVE FAMILY ! I PRAY HE FINDS A PLACE TO LIVE WITH HIS FAMILY !

Go to Mexico maybe it's better for you than where you came from and they know your language. Be a man stand up for what you believe in and fix your country

Immigration has ALWAYS been hard but many people make life more difficult when they don't understand a country's laws and/or fail to follow those laws. I know a man who came to the USA with $50 and managed to work and send money to his wife and then one day he wrote to his wife to say he couldn't send any more money because he was buying a bakery. Then he sent for her and they raised two sons, worked very hard in his little business, sent his sons to a private university. They followed the law and all are successful now. I also know a man from Colombia who came to the USA legally and a U.S. businessman saw how diligently he worked and helped him start a business. The American dream works. More than 720,000 new citizens were sworn in recently (in 2016, if my memory is correct).

As a black man from Chicago Illinois,, trump USA build the fuckin wall now

Laws are laws, hermano. You are not exempt from the law, and you will be deported. This man obviously does not pay taxes, because he cannot legally report them. When you are deported tell your familia in Honduras not to come to North America.

I know that I am blessed to have been born in the United States. I hate that this man was born in another country but if he truly wanted a future then he should of stood and fought for that in El Salvador. Central Americans need to clean up their act!

it amazes me how little human beings can care about each other. it breaks my heart to see a man who wants to provide for his family be turned away and thought of as a criminal because he escaped a country riddled with murder. documented or not they deserve better. most undocumented immigrants don’t come here to commit crimes or steal your jobs, they come here for refuge. undocumented immigrants don’t even qualify for welfare programs and continue to pay taxes. the alternative, legal immigration, can take up to 15-30 years of them living in constant fear of death. they are humans and we should treat them as such

The man sounds like he did not have formal schooling at all

Why has this man created Drama & now blaming everyone else except his own country to help him out ?hes not fleeing persecution so he should go home.dont blame the western world .

Man I feel bad for these kinds of refugees. But its Trudeau's fault for insinuating that its easy to just do that. You have to do it the legal way my man.

Man it’s almost as if Justin Trudeau is nothing but a rich elitist virtue signaling lying piece of ?

can you walk into a bank in Canada with a crash helmet on. no they think you going to rob the place. so why should these cover up they faces. could be a man or women under there

Is it “trying his best” when a man has 6-7 children by 6-7 women?!?\nI call that totally irresponsible.\nNo one would try to make up such an excuse for a woman who has 6-7 children by 6-7 men.

Canada only loves the refugees from the shit holes of the Middle East and Afghanistan .\nThis man still can’t speak English.

This reminds me my hard time in Canada as a black man , especially finding a house was extremely tough , I left Canada for good but my experience changed my view to the world ...

Lol these comments making fun of a poor man that can't speak English ? you guys are a disgrace to this world... I'm so glad America is getting invaded by immigrants from all over the world and people are now more open to learn more than one language and biracial marriages, I truly believe whites will be the minority in the future. And no I'm not racist just an observation of what's going on in America.

My father in law is Vietnamese. It took him 30 years to completely learn English. Some people learn fast some learn slow. Stop blasting this man.

I see he is a family man and hard working but you need to learn the language and not move again and again in order to avoid these appointments. If they tell you bring you papers and that is it. Not showing up shows that ypu are unwilling to comply with the laws. You are breaking the law my good sir.

I am white...I have been followed...I own my own home and was not treated fairly when I bought it...I was once volunteering at a Christmas wrap stand when a black man went off on me for being white. This is such a non productive and crybaby approach to the presence of hate in the world...you're never going to get rid of it...This is just hate towards whites...

In the 15th Century California was part of Mexico they were driven out but the gold rush and go west young man go west. If something happened in the USA and we had to move south could we should we?

Teenagers especially females will be followed around a make up store regardless of their nationality a middle-aged man will not be followed around a make up store regardless of his nationality however a teenage girl will be

This is man law not God's this Earth should be free to everyone but man and they're doing stop people from having a better life for their family yes there are evil people in the world and no way humanly possible we can stop all of them but just don't assume people are evil without giving them a try and give them a chance at a better life for their children

Canada have you been talking to America again? America is a bad influence. \nUp to your room young man!

The last woman doen't now islam Islam she is using her own thinking or saying what she think is right. We follow the quran and the hadiths. It is important to at least cover it head hair it goes for man and women. the rest is ur choice if u want to cover ur face and whole body. Other then that muslim no matter woman or man should wear big clothes in which private parts shape r unable to be seen. Before anyone reply my question is learn about jesus and his mother marry what kind of clothes they use to wear and have ordered u to wear. If u don't follow his command then u should not call ur self Christians. Because this is not the only command u don't follow.

They want every thing handed to them on a plate. Gimme gimme This man has spent 15 years in the US He probably speaks English but gives us no respect by speaking only Spanish. We are not your saviours! Fix your own countries and leave ours alone!!!!!

It’s easy to pass judgement from the comfort of our own home in a place others can only dream of. The same place many others take for granted. May God bless this man, his family, and others in similar situations.

That's what happens when you intentionally try to cut corners and illegally immigrate whilst others waiting in line. No asylum seeking from the US soil! it's the law. That man has only himself to blame. It is HIS fault his family is alone, it is HIS fault they continue their illegal flying around the country in attempts to further abuse the law, it is HIS fault he lost his money trying to take advantage of the system.

It is very very though to leave in Canada as a black man and black family's. Racist issue is to much across the country due to skin color. The more you change they will provoc you again and again. Stiven Brown did it to so may times and he goes away with it cause all his white people back him up.

Profiling exists with whites too, but it has to do with appearance, class and perceived intelligence; it isn't all about colour or race.\n\nI am a larger guy, with a shaved head and a beard. Sometimes I wear a suit and sometimes I am in jeans, a t-shirt and/or a leather jacket. When in a suit I am treated completely differently from when I am in my motorcycle or bumming around clothes. It is a fact that people profile everyone based on appearance, language (verbal ability), and how they are acting. Unfortunately, a person with visible differences, such as skin colour, can't change into something that attracts less attention, but, a black man in a suit is still less likely to be profiled than one in everyday clothes.\n\nAlso, I am well spoken, which makes a difference in the way I am treated. If you speak in a way that makes you sound less educated or of a lower class, then you are treated differently.\n\nTry sending in a white guy who is less clean-cut and less well-spoken and see the difference in the way he is treated. Have him act a bit nervous, look around a lot, or appear to be less than middle or upper class and see the difference in how he is treated. I guarantee he won't get good offers in those apartment buildings, if he gets any offers at all.\n\nA friend once told me a story about a friend of his who was very well off. This man went into an exclusive car dealership to look at a car on display. He didn't like to appear as well of as he was, so often wore simple jeans and t-shirt. When he asked the price of the car, the salesman took one look at his clothing an told him he couldn't afford the car. White profiling at its finest.

Trade worker, family man, hard worker give him a green card ! Ffs

Being black in Canada.\nFirst person to speak. A mixed man in canada, who benefits from his Jewish mothers privilege. Bye cbc.

Send all the refugees back we do not need a man in Canada

growing up in canada, i felt left out in the blk community b/c i am a 5th generation blk cdn on mom's side and 3rd on my dad's - when other black ppl not canadian born met me - i tell them i'm cdn, but i always used to get the question - where are you really from - they were looking for me to say the islands - when i told them my paternal grandma was born in 1901 in canada - that's when the questions stopped. i've been told that b/c i wasn't from the islands, i had no culture in college, but a mbr of the black student society put him in his place i heard he got into a lot of trouble. i was asked what do we eat as in food as canadians what kind of music do we listen to - at our blk canadian weddings, the only carribean song played was hot hot hot by arrow - we played straight up r and b and motown. i hv been rejected by other blk men b/c i'm not west indian enough...it was hurtful. even with 'friends' they made of my cdn heritage but i used to think, why are you making fun of me knowing that my family and ancestors were in canada first - they were 1st generation - i live in the usa now and i'm with an african american man - he has never treated me as if i were different and he loves going w/me to canada. my parents told me it was jealousy on those ppl's parts - one guy i used to be friends with in college, when i went to his house, his mom was from the islands, when she met me - she said, 'you cdn ppl are loud' and that did it for me - i didn't date her son but when he met my parents, they never said any of that crap to him. in the usa, the african americans don't treat differently at all - my ex mom in law thought we were american but decided to live in canada - b/c she was surprised that blacks do live in canada. her other daughter in law's family were from the islands - but she gravitated more to my family and felt comfortable around them more than her family and this ex sis in law would brag about the islands this and that and she would make comments about my looks being skinny and such but it was jealousy - i didn't care much for her b/c she was very insecure. i felt once again, i was a young girl in college again - being around island ppl....i would love to meet drake and ask him did he feel left out and isolated because he wasn't from the islands - he makes me very proud being a blk canadian - his dad is african american and his mom is jewish. i still hv dealt w/racism not much with wht ppl, but with my own ppl - which is quite sad and on top of it-colorism, that also played a part from my family - being called pygmy, chocolate dip, nappy hair - it hurt but these so called relatives, they aren't all that anymore, they had hard lives as children...when ppl see something in you that is special and they don't have, that's when their ugliness shows -

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!!!

I'm sick of these sob stories. Are those people really that stupid? I'm beginning to think they really are. This man had been in the States for several years according to this video. He was in the States illegally. He clearly never bothered to learn English, and it looks like that for his family too. Then he gets scared because Trump got elected and actually starts ENFORCING IMMIGRATION LAW. So he flees to Canada just because of something a really STUPID and poorly liked PM says. So he takes his family and again is expecting to be given asylum, and then does no research to find out the facts about Canada's immigration system before he goes there. Then he complains about having to spend all his money. Oh gee, did he actually think they would just give him free everything??? Clearly the threat he's complaining about in his own country is not that bad, since Canada rejected his asylum. So what does he do? He refuses to turn up for his hearing, and then he flees to another province. Totally criminal activity. Canada's immigration people need to round him up and deport him. It's his OWN FAULT he is separated from his family. HE BROKE THE LAW!!! There are CONSEQUENCES to breaking the law. Sheesh!!! I'm so sick of hearing these sob stories from these freeloaders. Yep---They really are that STUPID!!!

15 years in US and this man doesn’t speak english?!! \nWhat a joke.

I’m sorry am I supposed to feel sorry for this man?

I wish this man, the best of this world. He's a family man and a hard worker as well. Good luck to you, brother.

Give this man his family and money back :( #freethepeople

The prime minister sounds fake and talks fake lol use your man voice stop acting

It's 2017 and we still have people being push out of countries .. So sad bro..people with families trying to belong ..these heartless people will answer to the man when time comes

Whoever employs this man in Edmonton probably has the biggest heart and I would like to work for him juan day .

That is a hard working man with family values.

No sympathy for this man. He choose to break US law and then tried pulling the same bs in Canada. He only has himself to blame. Stay in your own country and make it better. And if you really want to live in a different country, then for God’s sake do it the legal way.

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?

This man never killed nor murder any one! so again please have mercy on him (MERCY)
