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.

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.

Many undocumented people that claim being threatened by the gangs are false. They leave their home because they just don't want to work for a little bit of money. They despite their own money currentcy and the prefer risk their lives to make the precious american dollars... It's all about the money.

Yet everyone wants to blame the USA. Every country has laws and if the Democrats would help enforce our laws people would not have to tear apart their families.

Their head dress and berkas are drawing attention to these people because of their cultures and what it means to women. These things put people in bondage and seem very threatening. They are forced to ware them in their own country’s and they come here and some are demanding that our culture should adapt. Especially in Europe.These people represent problems etc.. I am scared of these people. I’m free. I don’t want to bow to their God or their culture. Like I said try this test in their own country’s. I have no problem with blacks or aboriginal people. I realize there are radicals too. The Muslim people try to show a superior attitude and think they are right and want to force their culture on other countries. I don’t trust any of them.

People want everything for free

Nice! See ya', wouldn't want to be ya'! Head over to Canada they LOVE people who need handouts and illegals! Ooops! Maybe the boy leader isn't authorized to speak like he has been!! It's ironic that Canada is saying it needs to enforce it's laws and yet shame the US for trying to enforce it's laws?

Sorry we dont want hard working people who are trying to give their families a better life who are from countries where the US has destroyed through political and economic intervention.

Then explain to me, why Muslims try to install “Sharia Law” in Western country’s that take them in, when they claim to be fleeing oppression from their own countries?? It’s because their very religion, Islam, is not compatible with Democracy. So, instead of complying with, and conforming too, Western society, their wanting a “special” set of their OWN rules to be governed by. This is unacceptable! Sharia law should NEVER be allowed to exist in Democratic countries. I’m afraid that until the average person fully understands exactly what Sharia Law is and how it operates, then we will continue to have clashes and worse.......civil war. I for one will NEVER surrender my freedom in order to appease some 7th century false religion. It’s a cancer that needs to be eradicated from the face of the earth. Wake-up people, your lying politicians have let a Trojan horse into our midst. It’s name is......Islam. -Stephen, Ohio

Hold up! Hold up! Hold up a minute. Your going to tell me That these people who are willing to go through all these hardships and endure sooooo much for a better life are willing to do all this , But they are NEVER willing to learn the language of the country of which they wish to live in???? HMMMMM. NO FUCKING WONDER WE DON'T WANT THEM IN U.S.A!

You folks who always claim racism, helps to keep it alive.. It may not be the color but the way you act in an establishment. I'm white and had on an old leather jacket ove day while shopping which possibly made me look needy. That day while walking through different stores at the mall, I was followed by store personal and also by the security team while walking between stores. After not seeing what I had been looking for in all of the other stores was a new leather jacket but not seeing what I wanted in all of those places that I visited, I walked to Wilson house of Leather and finally found that new jacket. Best of all it was on sale. I've lost some weight since those days but I still have my leather coat which is a bit big for me now and starting to look like the coat that got me followed that day at the mall. Not everything is color when you get those looks and I would say it's more on the way you present yourself. \n\n Funny how it was during the times of the HURRICANES were the riots and thefts were done by people od color. Not all blacks riot and loot but those who do are a reflection of the thinking of certain races on this earth. Whites are just as guilty but no Asians, Whites Indians Arab or alien were photographed looting during trying times for many. In times of crisis can you depend on your neighborhood?

These people just really want to work but I can honestly say that maybe God is working in their favor because this country is going down and God is going to do it , so maybe it's a blessing in disguise , and to the Caucasian how are you gonna get upset at people for doing the same thing you did, why because you write on your Constitution I didn't know you were God, God didn't put you here either... I'm just saying and good has a way of bringing everyone in to submission and really let you know your place.. America Canada Australia none of it is your Land.. You killed millions of people to take that land and your sin's have piled all the way up to the heavens..

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.

It hurts feeling rejected in another country that you are illegally residing in people and countries want skilled labor academics scientist enterpanuers people that will help a country grow and be more prosperous not common laborers and a unskilled workforce

Freedom of choice to wear a niqab.... Lets look at a big picture here folks. If everyone dressed up fully covered and someone commits a crime. Can you give me a description please? Its common fukn sense.... If people dont want to blend in with our way of life then you shouldnt be here! The liberals need out of power, they are going to ruin canada. Look at europe. Learn from the past!

There doesn't seem to be any gratitude among the Muslims, any humble thankfulness to the host countries at all. Instead there is this attitude that the host country is going to do just what Muslims want them to do, that they're not going to assimilate and try to fit in in any way whatsoever. And beyond that they're not shy about their plans on dominating the culture of the host country , disregarding the law, and setting up Sharia law instead. Those people have to go. Deport them now before they become an even greater problem.

Did she just list honor killings as a part of Islam??? This journalist needs to research the religion properly because honor killings are not condoned whatsoever... this concept is just belted out by haters who are on a smear campaign of Islam. And then this journalist gave that farzana lady the last word of her 'critical' views on Islam it just undid everything the Muslims were doing before her giving a clearer picture of Islam, farzana lady will just make people confused I mean those are her personal opinions but how does it help this piece? Also last time I checked following fashion trends is not synonymous to peer pressure as what journalist wants to suggest that girl was peer pressured in to wearing the scarf when she clearly explained she wasn't. And when that guy was talking about teaching women Islamic studies journalist is like but you just teach them Islam not anything else WELL it's a mosque that's what people usually do if they want to learn religion they go to place of worship, if they want to learn something else they go to school or university. She's just twisting their words to give this undertone to the piece that yes the stereotypes are true but Muslims are still somewhat ok. Just stop spreading the hate and provide non-bias journalism!

Call me whatever, but India has been dealing with this for a very long time, probably since 1980s. I dont hate islam but I dont love it either. Let's just say that I wouldnt buy a house in Muslim neighborhood. It has been a nuisance to India since a long time, every time we screamed in UN for help. We got shut down until the problem reached world wide. People say it started happening since Iraq and syrian war which is slightly incorrect. This problem has been there since ages prior to war, It just manifested on a high level recently. There are so many examples...This religion feeling which later turns into violence starts with your own house, your upbringing and your own values. If a kid is used to seeing his mom being suppressed then when he grows up, dont expect much from him. Now every community has this issue but in Muslim community it is engraved in you the moment you open your eyes on planet earth. You cannot defend the argument when someone says Women are suppressed in mulsim culture. The most hurtful thing happening is in UK. A country which gave you food, shelter, respect, a better life. You are trying to impose your values on it? As a matter of fact, good muslims should come out openly and boycott these terrorist who are trying to create chaos if they really want to show good intentions but you wont see any (for obvious reasons). They often cry about they being a victim but what about other people?? If all good muslim come out and boycott bad muslims then that would be a thing to appreciate and notice. In last you cant clap with one hand! Remember that.

Muslims are not bad we're normal people like everyone else what the hell is the problem I love Islam because I am a Muslim comment if you agree and if you don't get the hell out of here bc like I said we're normal people like Americans and everyone else in the world we come to America because we want to be safe here

Yeah, we're not so awful... I'm American, living in Canada, and honestly, I'm here for my husband, who is Canadian. I absolutely ADORE him. The only thing that annoys me about Canada is the fact they seem to hate diabetics, anyone on a low-carb diet, or anyone who just doesn't want to eat a ton of sugar. In fact I can't get anything sugar-free in a store (simple things, like sugar free coffeemate, sugarfree cake mix) unless I pay, I'm not even lying here, TWENTY TIMES THE PRICE on Amazon, (I'm not paying $85.00 for a 10.2oz canister of coffee creamer... WTF?) That is 3.49USD in any walmart. These people have to be kidding me.

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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well I am a Christian Canadian and I fear for my life because Islam is a political movement made to look like a religion and Islam believes in hating and killing anyone who is not Islamic and Canada is getting closer and closer to sharia law every time the law here excepts one of Islam's rules and all those people want to do is take over the world and Canada is rolling out the carpet and bowing down to Sharia law but I want to know is this still Canada or is it a Islamic State because it's starting to look like the latter to me.

what is the problem with those people? they excape killing in Islamic countries...come here...and now they pull the same bullshit on us...fucking crybabies ! the world doesn't revolve around you!\nFirst of all you are all cowards for not standing up against extremists in your countries and defending your families overthere !!! (this counts especially for migrant males) shame on you !! we fought for our freedom against Tyranny for hundreds of years and you want us to accept those medieval behavior of yours ? honestly I don't think we're so far away from a civil war !

Muslims do not will not and do not want to assimilate, respect or uphold our western traditions, values, rules or laws...they need to go back to their home where they can live with the same sick mind set class of people. I have always said, as I too have been very involved with Muslims as my ex husband was Muslim, Muslims have no neighbors, they have no love or compassion, they cannot do not and will not be a respector of any Christian beliefs or values of any kind, Why do they want to live in our free countries when they despise freedom. They are not here for freedom, they hate freedom of every kind. it is very clear from the Qu'ran, that I have read. They hate our culture, they despise our free speech, they despise Christian's they despise our dress (apparel) they despise any form of woman's rights. When I lived in Egypt it was extremely rare to see a woman ride a horse, drive a car, ride a bike or go swimming, or even jogging. I was a rare exception because I was American and did all of the above, however none of my female friends could or would do any of the things that I just mentioned. Ask yourself, why the hell are they coming to our home lands?!?!

It is funny they hate western culture but they all want to come here. But when we raise our opinion on them we are races. I'm an emigrant but I get deeply offended by the policies how Canada is handling emigration from muslim countries. Look at Germany France and I'm not even mention Sweden , how muslim emigration enriched their countries. These people don't want to integrate to our society they want to creat same shit hole the just climb out of.

What  peaceful ideology, as if.  Well people Islam was banned in the 50's in the states for a reason.  There men are sexist pedophiles that want to topple the western culture so that our country will be in ashes like they did to there country.  How stupid can we be to accept this as a new normal.

White people hate to admit that racism happens because they do not want guilt projected onto them.

This is a bit one sided as this study showed Caucasian businesses. How about Asian, Black or other races' establishments and see how they faired with racial profiling. I used to work with someone that worked for high end stores and she mentioned that they do actually go to class to spot someone that will actually spend money vs someone who just wants to window shop and yes they also taught racial profiling. Sales associates will cater more to well dressed shoppers compared to people who wears plain clothing.

actually islam isnt apart of western values tradition or culture.. and is threatening to ALL who comes to Canada from around the world to escape religious tyranny and conglomeration. people want freedom.. not religious domination !

Anti islamic attitudes growing all across the world, every country dissenting at their presence, they atill insist they are of peace, they are demanding 6bn people are wrong, its time to enclose them in the middle east, think like a muslim? Go live with them, not wanted here

I am a muslim and everybody think that those guys who kill are real Islamic people , they are going to hell that what God said . First thing is that Islam is a peace religion and there is nothing to do with killing. Second thing there is God called Allah, who is the only God in this world and next one, doesn't want killing and deaths and in our religion God told and warned us not to kill people because he is the only one who kills and takes lives from people and we are harmed to kill. Third thing God told us that who kills one person as if he killed the whole people and that guy is going to hell. God said if a woman wants to cover her  body completely or does she want to cover her body except her face and hands its okay but the hair must be covered. THE PEOPLE YOU SEE IN THE BREAKING NEWS COVERED WITH MASK AND KILL  PEOPLE ARE NOT MUSLIM THEY ARE OUT OF ISLAM AND THEY ARE GOING TO HELL.

I dont want to be racist,but this just get me mad...EWWWW CHRISTIANS THE WORLD MOST RACIST RILIGION....Not all Christians are RACIST SOME OF THEM..BE PEACE..I DONT HATE CHRISTIAN..I HATE THE ANTI MUSLIM PEOPLE

No one wants muslims people in canada

Canada's cold, expensive & boring. The people here spend 1/3 of their time talking about America and the other 2/3 about hockey and how accepting and 'nice' they are. Our country hates Americans yet they rely on American brands, tv etc. For their livelihood and know more about their political situation than their own. I want to move sooo badly

the complain about people fearing islam\nyea, people tend to fear people who want to kill them

Bunch of primitive, abusive, west hating people wanting to bring Sharia law.

i don't understand how a piece of cloth makes u better person, human or religion follower thats so silly like really , better Muslim? it's joke this religion n other to many are jokes those ppl are brain-wash since they born I feel bad for those women that they don't have the freedom to do what they really wanna do. thx I god I was born with freedom of chose my husband, to change my hair color, to go whatever I want, to go any school i want , even to chance my the religion I grew up with , to have voice n vote n not b governed by any man on earth.. What a people is that

You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. Canadians can simply take some time to study the religion to find out what it's all about. It's only natural to want to know what's going on with Islam, since Islamic terrorism is in the news almost every day. The danger is Islam.

I just don't want to see herds of screaming idiots marching through the streets with signs saying that I and my countrymen should die for the crime of not being like them, or because they chose to be violently offended over some triviality or perceived slight.  How many of these people actually become members of our society?  And how many just live off the dole while they demand more and more.  Why aren't these muslims being taken in by other muslim nations?

Contrary to popular opinion, racial profiling, whatever that means, is not illegal, and never was. There is no law against using race in law enforcement.Racial profiling is merely the use of race in the creation of a profile of a criminal. Given racial disparities in crime, an officer stopping random black males instead of white males is more likely to stop a criminal but police don’t do that. They use racial profiles to stop people in specific circumstances and there is always something more than just race involved. Of course, Comey said this in the context of a speech bemoaning law enforcement’s treatment of “disfavored groups.” But the unmentionable reality behind the sob stories about the likes of Trayvon Martin or Michael Brown is that the color of crime in the U.S. is disproportionately black. Thus local law enforcement, or anyone else who deals with street crime, will always rely on de facto profiling of young black males. And precisely because effective local law enforcement will inevitably lead to racial profiling.\nAccording to Attorney General Ashcroft, racial profiling was bad and illegal, except for when it was useful and legal. The explanation for all this: Attorney General Ashcroft wanted to be seen as doing something about “racism” without actually handicapping law enforcement officers.

You are what you eat. Do you really think muslims well get control. LMAO. Seriously They can not even get control over there. They made a mess of their own land. The only thing I see is everything gets dirty. Everyone wants to come to the North, United States and Canada. These people need to go make their own work. Canada has a 100,000.00 people out of homes . we have no room for extra. That is not including the standard homeless, and troubled young adults. Someone told me they have people starving. Children dying. So do we, they need care and parents can not afford it. Tax me for i want to help every CANADIAN. When we are home free maybe we can splurge. Sorry to all muslims. you need to go home our Country is not well. .

Racism is so bad that people from all over the world want to move here!

There is reason to fear, these people want you Dead.

I'm a Canadian and personally I don't care what religion anyone is that lives here but I don't like when people try to enforce beliefs and religions onto others. Just believe what you want to.

ok so muslims say they should be able to wear what they want so their women cover up. but then when you ask them about western women they say they should cover up and SHOULD NOT be able to dress the way they do. liberals who think they are being so free and open minded need to open their eyes to the religion they are trying to defend. muslims routinely abuse the freedoms that are afforded to them while living in a democratic society that hypocrisy becomes second nature to them. the women that was interviewed says we get dressed up put on fancy clothes and make up with other women, even though to do that is haram in islam and is only meant to attract men. ignorance and regression will lead to the downfall of every western country. it is simply a fact and somehow it always comes off as fear mongering when it is said, no religion should ever have a right over any society. if there was a religion where it was ok to behead people who dont believe in that religion would it be ok for people to believe it, oh wait ISLAM.

Muslim lady speaks outside of her house and discusses issues we have with the religion, because of this she fears for her safety from her own community. It shows the deep problems we have with the western values and the Muslim community, yet here we have people tip toeing around the issue saying we have no problem, its religion and beliefs and peace and love and we should just accept all Muslim communities even tho this lady is telling you the problems right in front of your faces. There is so many videos you can find showing that Muslim community neighbourhoods do not want non-Muslim's in there community and they want Sharia law and they are not tolerant to outsiders and anyone that thinks different to them, even those from within there own community. 2 good examples are the town Dearborn, Michigan and Luton Town, UK of just how lack of tolerance for non-Muslim people in Muslim majority communities they have.

i am of indian descent and i grew up in canada. went to elementary middle and high school and 2 universities, and i absolutely hate the fobs and people who dont want to assimilate into our society. its usually indian people. and they always want to talk in hindi or punjabi when i am not even fluent in either. fk them.

Cultural Marxists want to get rid of White culture and white people. We have to stop this now.

PRESIDENT OBAMA's VISIT TO MOSQUE.\nHE WROTE ON HIS TIMELINE.\nToday, I had the privilege of visiting the Islamic Society of Baltimore, a mosque that serves thousands of Muslim\nAmerican families. Like houses of worship across our country, it's a place where neighbors come together to pray, a school\nwhere students learn, and a health clinic where volunteers serve their community. My visit was a chance to celebrate the\ncontributions that Muslim Americans make to our country every day and to reaffirm the founding ideals that keep our nation strong, including the freedom of religion.\nGenerations of Muslim Americans have helped build our country as farmers, merchants and workers on Henry Ford's assembly line. They're the teachers who inspire our kids, and the nurses and doctors whom we trust with our health. They're scientists who win Nobel Prizes and young entrepreneurs creating new technologies. They're the champions we cheer for – from Muhammad Ali to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. They're the police and firefighters who keep us safe, and the men and women in uniform who have fought and bled and died for our freedom.\nRight now, though, many Muslim Americans are worried because threats and harassment against their community, their families and their children are on the rise. But we are one American family, and an attack on one faith is an attack on all our faiths. When any religious group is targeted, we all have a responsibility to speak up. We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. At a time when others are trying to divide us along religious lines, we have to\nreaffirm that most fundamental truth – that we are all God's children, all born equal with inherent dignity.\nI want every Muslim American who may be wondering where they fit in to know that you're right where you belong - right\nhere, because you're part of America, too. You are not Muslim or American. You are Muslim AND American. I want every American to know that Muslim communities are standing up for peace and justice as well. That's the spirit I felt on my visit today. And I'm absolutely confident that if we stay true to the values and ideals that bind us as one people, we're going to\nremain strong and united.

I live in Northern Ontario, and I have never actually been to thr USA, but I know someone who moved to Milwaukee and moved back to Canada because he couldn't handle certain mentalities people had. He said it definitely wasn't everyone, but the whole gun thing freaked him out. He knew a lot of people who carried guns around regularily, and so he always felt he needed to censor himself so he didn't want to offend or make anyone angry, because of thr guns. His brother lives in California and he loves it there, but Milwaukee wasn't for him. It was an interesting conversation
