*reveals that both men prefer European American of African American*\n\n*immediately jokes about it*

It’s almost like people want to blame us (American born citizens) for this happening, if you came into my country illegally, then it’s YOUR FAULT!! You broke the law of my country by just coming here illegally, so go back to your country and try to get here legally.. BUILD THE WALL!!??♥️?. He admitted to coming here illegally and he admitted to not showing up to his appointment, I’m so sick and tired of hearing these sad stories, my heart goes to people but my country need to take care of our own first before we take care of others!!! ??????

Why did they use the word African American when they are in Canada? I find the wording kinda strange when it doesn’t identify race only nationality.

My wife is a nice white American lady. I am not. White that is. And a lady. And nice.? When we applied for a loan for a house, guess who all the lenders mainly paid attention to regarding a loan? One of us just had the white, I mean right look. ? ?? ?

Ha Ha. This is kind of comedic. Black Americans feel elated after experiencing Canadian hospitality. We're used to so much contempt. I had no idea it's so bad for other brown cultures there. It's kind of Simpson's that Canada has a race problem in Vergina and finds it concerning, while America's hands in the cookie jar and the denial pushback is strong!

There is a study that revealed African-American shoppers are more likely to feel accused by an offer of customer service than European-Americans, too.

WAIT IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY!!\nAPPLY AT AMERICAN EMBASSY!, TEACH FAMILY ENGLISH, SAVE MONEY TO LIVE ON WHEN APPROVED, WAIT FIVE YEARS LIKE OUR ANCESTORS DID!! NO ENGLISH, NO ADMISSION!! PERIOD!!

I'm a Black American and I get the most racism at the supermarket from OTHER MINORITIES who work as security. The most frustration.

If you want to be an American then do not try to force anti-American culture on America.\nLearn to support our community, or do not choose to live here.\nCan you imagine an American immigrating to any other country and force acceptance \nof their anti-culture ways.\nIf we Americans keep on accepting certain kinds of people into our home who aim to change\nour ways, it is we who will be displaced in disgrace.\nGodspeed

Americans are tired of having their ancestors compared to the migrants of today.\nSettling in an undeveloped land and building a civilization is not comparable to\nshowing up in a post-industrial nation and signing up for benefits.

The British Laws don't have to by America Dreams, common cent's will tell you this in American History, 101

15k and tries scam USA -u don’t take advantage of America you work hard to contribute to it and why we r so great -I’m love all Americans Make America Great again Says it all!!

This brings to mind that Vegas shooter who hated Americans and would only date a Chinese, crossdresser preferred. It also brings to mind Kennika Jenkins and the Chinese man on tape walking with a doctor's lab coat strung over his shoulder. Her organs were stolen in a Trump associated hotel freezer. A mobile freezer and the place doesn't even keep food in the two permanent ones they keep chilled either. So why was a third roll up cooler there and cold? How could her organs be gone if she was frozen? They must of stolen them before she froze. All the while her Moms there wanting to search or at least look at the tapes but they won't let her. We are not safe from them.

In China once you get to the mainland .they take your picture and finger prints..if you wanna travel across China..we must show my American passport everywhere..even at the bus stations..they took another picture when I was leaving. \nNorth America should do the same

Canada plays the game. They are manipulating the public. It's definitely a political tactic. Like for instance, why Say you provide free healthcare, but the healthcare is like the ☆☆'s of health insurance. You need to buy a supplemental insurance to actually get anything done promptly. They say they welcome asylum seekers, but fail to mention the legal hurdles and the unlikelihood of being able to stay. I just don't understand how people are failing to notice Canada's tactics to manipulate the American public to betray allegiance from the United Staes.

the people in the American continent and other western countries in Europe which are predominately Christians and liberals are now faced with a difficult challenge; since the free western world allowed the Muslim immigrants from the Muslims and other Arab countries to take refuge in their own countries, now they are engaged in a constant battle against their respective contrasting values, religious principles, and cultural practices....the big question now is which thoughts and culture will prevail? because, unlike the conflict on slavery centuries hence, the issue and concern then was merely black or white people or racial (about color of the skin).....now it is more relatively sensitive, complex and extremely serious......my issue thus, is how can a liberal, freedom loving and religious tolerant western society deal with an intolerant, discriminating, extremely arrogant and most often violent Muslim believers living in their own communities.......Clearly Europe and America is being Muslimized..my worry is that Europeans do not see the semblance between Muslim with communism...both seek to overthrow the prevailing order to fit theirs.

SMH! The comment section is a daunting place. The central American government needs to be held accountable for the mass exists. History repeats itself - just like the forefathers left for the Americas because of persecution, economics, and social injustices. These immigrants are somewhat doing the same thing. I think it's an easy fix, stop the gang violence people will stay, and companies will want to come set up shop because labor is so cheap.

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.

Americans first! We’re not obligated to take care of the world

Not saying Canada isn’t racist but it’s a far better place for minorities than American is matter of fact America is prob the most racist country in the Western Hemisphere but still has the most immigrants what a weird juxtaposition

Who cares if he illegal the American people are in the united states illegal the white people stole the united states from the native get over y'all self

15 years and still cannot speak English! He deserves to go back to South America! He obviously does not want to inter grate with the Americans or Canadians. I migrated from another country and have mixed in very well with Americans and I love the food! Pizza is so yummy!

Justin trudeau has 2 degrees A masters and had started on an engineering program he unites his country acknowledges past injustice to the natives he treats everyone with respect he is smart and very mature for his relatively young age and he is probably the most goodlooking world leader today...\nDrumpf is on the other hand an uneducated rich man's son who dropped out of college not to found google but to dodge millitary draftings...lol...he is clearly sexist & news just came out that the dotard may have actually inherited $400 M capital lol & not the famous 'measly' 1m dollars ...turns out he is not a very good businessman either...drumpf is probably the most divisive us president he is over 70 yet ridiculously immature for his age...he throws tantrums at the slightest criticism...the donald is a global laughing stock not respected at all by the world leaders at the UN...He is also probably the ugliest world leader alive...orange face white hair & all...lol...he has made USA politics funny again(i laugh my ass off whenever he holds a press conference)...i give him that...only fools would\nwant someone like this as their leader...\nBut then again American conservatives arent exactly geniuses...hahaha

They go to L.A. to speak with Central American community leaders. That speaks volumes.

i’m Native American .........and i’m followed at least once a week whilst shopping.....i’ve been arrested for armed robbery ......2 days later they caught the people, but the damage was done it’s still on my record....it’s horrible ,

An American thinks she is Canadian.

Vancouver only excepts Millionaire Chinese and Asians people fact they had so many they had to make new rules for them buying in Vancouver. Funny isn't what the South American ( Canadian) diplomat speaking to people in Cali saying the same thing Trump is and the right. Only he is using a accent and not having to be so forceful because the leaders before him dint bend over backward to help break the laws. But Trumps the bad guy for pounding his fist and doing what the American people elected him to do.

When the Americans and the Canadians took control of their present respective territories for themselves, they did so against the hierarchy consisting of people of similar ethnic makeups. The prosperity that ensued would not have been possible without those initial violent conflicts. Is the solution to turn tail and not fight for one's homeland? Until those battles are fought, every child one brings into those terriories of danger is another potential pawn that would serve to maintain that oppressive hierarchy.

Muslims have no say so about Canadian Law. I’m an American and if I go to Canada I have to obey their laws. That’s just the way it is.

hard to feel sorry for people that illegally enter countries and then expect to be bailed out by Canadian or American people

Look you own city of San Francisco is not that worsens Shit Town Of fool of junkies dedicating allover GROSS, take care of that , and homeless seniors citizens after the fires !? So shut the hell up Americans low grades!

If he has $15,000 saved for lawyers, he is doing a lot better than me and other Americans....

-_- sigh Trudeau wasting Canadian Tax payer dollars on stupid stuff again . Really contemplating on moving to U.S and becoming an American

Leaving the U.S. which is as free as Canada is not a reason to accept individuals based on a refugee status. Most countries are welcoming immigrants. But stop trying to jump the line ahead of others. Canada has always been great neighbors with our American counterparts. Why would immigrants think any differently ?\n\nIs it because lie-beral stations like CNN have painted Canada as a better country because we have a dope running the country who is lie-beral minded. That's the sad part, and it is a good reason to understand why President Trump calls CNN fake news. They even betray their own citizens with these lies. Canada has seen in Trudopes time all the corruption and mishandling of immigration, that Canadians has had enough of his stupidity, and he is on his way out.

I’m a an American that is strongly against illegal immigrants but I think this type of man is not the one I want out. Liberals assume we hate them and are racist but we’re not. We simply don’t want our tax dollars to keep funding other people’s lives while we can’t even provide for our own people. He is a hard worker who is providing for his family. His wife and kids look like good people also. I want the US to be a stepping stone for people like him. He is working hard, earning money and ensuring a better future for his children. I want him to thrive in the US.

This is why I might be leaving Canada soon to hopefully become an American because I would rather have a leader who cares about his country and it's citizens instead of someone who doesn't care about ours.

They all deserve to live in Dignified Conditions.They are the disadvantage and i don't mind putting my tax dollars to assist the disadvantage! Much of Canada, in this day is not Cold as Americans think.

And heres the issue because of a shit deal with the USA we are stuck with illegals untill they are vetted and they eather win or lose their claims hearing.. \n\nAnd then between vet and hearing a wait that is getting longer because of a shit deal with the USA . you have to grant them temp work visas or foot their bill even longer. \n\nIts a shit circle in a shit storm boys \n All because the yanks wont arrest their illegals while they are on American soil.

Trudeau said he would welcome them. He needs to stick to his word, don't be a racist Trudeau. \n\nAs an American I fully support illegal immigrants making a better life in the soon to be Socialist Canada.

Being a Canadian, I am so embarrassed that Trudeau is Prime Minister. Americans should be thankful they have Trump in office

Or, you could do it the American way and put them, and their children, in cages.

Okay, as a Canadian, I've been watching all sides of the stories. All of your points of view are heard, and particularly the past day's coverage rings true, in some senses. In others, not. \nAlways, people say this, and people say that, and the truth is somewhere in the middle.\nHowever, please explore this topic before digging down and making up your minds based on this interview. \nPlease do a smidgen of more research, hear more than this opinion and do a lot more listening? \nI know you all are going through a very difficult time.\nAs a Canadian, most of us are very comfortable with what our government is doing. \nWe are not afraid of 'others'. \nWe are not afraid of Americans.\nBut this reporting choice, and your choice to jump on, and believe this interview as true.....\nThat does give me pause for concern.

A real measure of just how bad Trudeau is is that, because we are Americans, most people down here in the States are never able to remember who the Canadian Prime Minister is. The general population just tends not to care much about Canadian politics. Trudeau, however, has been able to make a name for himself here just by being a doofus. More Americans than ever seem to know about the Canadian Prime Minister, but for all the wrong teasons. Way to go Justine!

FROM A CANADIAN, I WILL CONFIRM TO U AMERICANS THAT TRUDEAU IS A FUCKING JOKE AND WILL B OUT OF OFFICE NEXT YEAR!!!! HIS RESUME IS DRAMA TEACHER AND HAS A FAMOUS DAD THAT IS ALL!! TOTAL IMBECILE

My fiancé has two employees of the same non American nationality and they have begun speaking to each other in their native tongue in the workplace while their other team members don’t .. thoughts?

I feel fortunate to be an American. This documentary breaks my heart.

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).

Most Americans don't even have $1000 in there bank accounts, how did he have 15k?

When American men in his age group are unhappy with where the country is going, we fight for our country. We don't flee. This is our home and while it will never be perfect, we stay here in good times and bad. He needs to be in El Salvador fighting for his country, not bringing his burdens to America or Canada.

Our country can't handle taking in all the refugees of the world...here's a idea. Fight to save your own country...quit expecting other countries to provide 4 u...we as Americans have mass homelessness as it is...don't expect a welcome Matt..
