Yea keep crossing, we should make it easy for these poor refugees to keep making this treacherous journey to Canada. Maybe busses at the mexican boarder to get them to Canada. Or they could stay in their own country and fight to make it great. Many Americans have fought for this country over the years not to have people coming in the backdoor illegally. Get inline.

I wish Trump would pull an Poland to Germany and just send them to Canada. Let Canada try and deal with the numbers that we have to, and watch the country turn red in a few years.

Go home and stay there. The USA and Canada can not take in these people, we can not afford it.

I don’t know whether to believe him or call him a liar because if he had $15,000. $15,000!!! in Mexico do you understand the life you could live not saying you would be in a mansion but you would live comfortably enough to do it correctly file paperwork the way it supposed to be done wait your time and then move into America everybody thinks Canada so great but they don’t realize that Justin Trudeau is a lying piece of shit he may say one thing but Canada as a country follow the law that they have set for immigrants #fail sorry you thought Canada was better than the U.S.A

Fifteen years in the USA and he does not speak English. What is that all about? And look what happened Canada caused this father to be separated from his family. Canada is evil and full of Nazis ( note: the last sentence is the way a progressive thinks. )

Por favor de no pensar que Canada va ser algo facil. Please don't think Canada will await with open arms. This guy spent $15 thousand in lawyer's fees. Gasto quinse mil dollares y perdio.

We don't need illegal third world trash coming over to Canada. They add nothing to our country.

Everyone knows you are welcomed in Canada only if you have money...as in Australia and New Zealand. Makes sense to me.

Why would Canadians welcome someone who was in our neighboring country illegally here. He also committed a crime to enter Canada. Not only that but he knows the system well enough how to avoid being deported after his asylum status was denied. Jumping between provinces and hiding with other family members is criminal. Not only should he and his immediate family be deported but also his family in BC who hid him. Our Prime Minister is a joke. We need Trump in Canada.

12 hours of vetting. Canada is not welcoming as liberal Americans think. They don't get a free lawyer. He should go back to El Salvador. El Salvador is no different than Chicago.

it's rather hypocritical how some of the people practicing islam acts. If it's easy why won't this people go to Saudi Arabia or Iran and live and work there. What baffles me the more is that most of the so called Islamic states that are affected by wars and terrorism Why didn't kingdom of Saudi Arabia government take them in as immigrants since they are they founder of Islam and it's a religion of peace as they so claim. Rather it's country like America, Canada, Australia, Germany, Spain etc that takes them inn and they will want to change their tradition&cultures and want to lead them in their own country! I'm so sick & confused about the Islamic religion. seriously??

Canada's racist

Many chinese condo landlords refuse to rent to blacks, indians, whites only their own kind. Of course there's no racism in canada. Good luck renting with your name being Tyrone. Diversity! hahaha

Harper's for prime minister of Canada bring him back so the citizens of Canada can be saft. Prime Minister Trudeau have to go so immigration reform can go

I could be wrong but best buy probably has alot of shoplifters that visit,so if someone hangs around too long........ I m a white woman born in Canada,no predominant religious sign, I ve recieved a lot of vicious words by different people.ignorance is pretty international. And women also can be blamed of this ignorance.

We have 10%of the US racism oh wait we are 10% the US population yap we have the same amount of racism as the US. In Canada.

HI, To apply to some company to become a journeyman, is it necessary to have a resident permit? Or it is possible to come to Canada as a tourist and find an employer?

Why do some people think their situation is more dire or more important than everyone else's situation? There are thousands of immigrants from all over the world who are trying to enter Canada the legal way. What does this say to them?

Canada has done extremely well for Immigrants, and we spend a lot of money on making sure we get hard working decent citizens.. We've recently made it easier for people to immigrate here. We welcome it. But it does have to be done legally. And yes, I agree with everyone else here. 15 years in English countries, and doesn't speak it himself is disgusting. I bet he'd learn the word food fast if he was starving. Also, those kids need to be in school. I hope he's not hiding them too cause they'll never learn English then.

The worst racism in Canada right now is the RACISM AGAINST WHITES.

Excuse me lady with all do respect to the good people \nAmerica and Canada is all about migrants and refuges what's with this !! This is basically your history no one is pure native \nThe whole world is not pure we all mix \nCheck your DNA \n\nWho is going to pay your taxes now ha \nGood for you \nNo apology is accepted I guess it's too late

As a Canadian..... please go back to your country. We have job shortages in Canada. Countries are losing low skill jobs due to mechanization. Japan is the best run country in the world and is lowing their population...... take note people. Low populations is the winning strategy of the future.

i'm Canadian and i feel very ashamed because of this CANEEEEDIAN woman here, like their points we're very valid and if she'd just listen then the cops wouldn't have to be called, the reason for the video to be recorded and her talking more about being a CANEEEEEEEEDIAN woman. She is a disgrace.\nALSO \nshe said speak english, this is canada should know both english and french are canada's language. not just english, besides if someone else speaks a different language shouldn't mean a thing they're canadian and they belong here in canada.

You know how they came up with the name Canada? ...They pulled letters out of a hat... 'C' -eh 'N' -eh 'D' -eh

Just an other bleeding heart illegal alien sob story. All I can say is ha ha ha ha ha, stay in Canada. We didn't invite to the US and we don't want you or your family nor to support you. Where did he get the 15k for a lawyer?

So Canada gets a pass on enforcing their border and immigration laws but the mere mention of that in USA turns into a media firestorm about oppression and racism. Such a double standard and a load of bs.

I think the Canada's immigration website has still crashed, so this illegal came up here to crash the party and got a rude awakening.

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

Praise be to Allaah islam spread in canada may allah protecy my brother and my sister muslin in canada

You came here and lost all your money. Welcome librel run canada . I suprised they dident hang you upsidedown and shake the change from your pockets

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.

Canada is heavy on immigrants taking a job of a Canadian

If he just went through the proper channels in the US he wouldn’t be having these issues in Canada. Now he’s an undocumented and illegal worker in Canada and is taking advantage of the system. Canada does have stricter immigration laws than the States. I’m all fine with Canada accepting immigrants as long as they do it the legal way and go through the due process that the government has put in place. But this guy has pretty much screwed himself over and is taking advantage of the Canadian citizens I feel

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 -

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.

Muslims wont take over the west or Canada no chance

So I'm in a dilemma of whether I should move down to Florida and live with my American girlfriend, or stay up here and support her moving up here in Canada. My main issue is health care. I just hear many people have bad service and poor treatment with insurance down there, but it all depends what insurance your applying with. People are fairly nice, but there are also some douche bags as well so I'm not surprised. With my overall budget, I could likely stay down there for about a few months or so. Here in Canada, taxes are a little higher, but it's worth it (Some idiot said our taxes are lower), health care is paid for, winters are cold but anyone can survive through it. Some say Canada is a socialist (which is Not -_-). Liberal party is ruining Canada as it is in a way. But again, it's better Justin than Trump. (Betting for Scheer). Idk, politics is bad in both countries I say. Idk, I'm likely missing some things here. Should I move down with my girlfriend, or stay up and support her moving up here?

I wish was Canada lucky for him

Seeking asylum in Canada from America, a refugee from America. What he was running from was LAW and the chance of getting picked up and sent back to Mexico. He was NEVER a refugee he was an economic migrant and illegal alien and all of these people could have worked to make their country better and worth staying in. Obama wanted Democrats to have more voters.

Lmao ya'll thought you were slick. Canada is actually stricter on border security and what not.

Its hilarious to me that Canadians have this big image of what we are like with all of the war, food, and football etc... \nwhen people here kind of forget Canada exists. I literally don't know anything about Canada except the maple leaf and something about health insurance?

I don't get it? He spent 15k on a lawyer to gain asylum in canada, why wouldn't he spend that money on becoming a us citizen? Everyone I met that went through the process to be a US citizen said that's about what it costs? I imagine it's easier here specially having kids and an already established life even if you were here illegally to begin with?

I tal you so; remember when you arrive , you spit USA know you go to face the truth . I remember when you where in the church and thinking in Canada you can get the residence? Face it and run back to the states , make money illegally wile you can cause you will be deported ; and your wife I'm sure she is back in America. So stop blaming Mr Trump for your bad decision and good luck amigo.

Please tell me if you think OSCAR PETERSON, JAZZ PIANO PHENOM, was treated with racism in Canada

Usa is the best country to ever exist, and Canada is no competition to the USA because in America no body even talks about Canada, and I heard in Canada all y'all do is talk about America. Everyone on the planet dreams to come to the USA no one dreams to go to Canada, everyone on the planet watches American sports, basketball, football, soccer, baseball. Canada has nothing and the ?? is extremely fun and amazing so many beaches, mountains, forest, lakes, waterfalls big cities that are so fun and Canada is boring, Vancouver boring, Toronto Boring it's not like the us cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Miami, New York, Orlando, Las Vegas, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Houston, Beverly hills

There is a good reason for that. Why is it the fastest growing religion in Canada? Because Trudeau government is importing them by the hundreds of thousands.

Illegal in USA, now illegal in Canada. Criminals gonna crime.

15 k that could have gone towards a proper procedure to come to Canada...

Canada sent representatives to immirgrant hotspots telling them that Canada was NOT the promised land and that if your refugee claim was refused you would be sent back to your country of origin, not the US. Canada, just like the US has the right to decide who comes in.

You should have never left to Canada.
