Am I suppose to feel sorry for this guy? How long did he live in the states? Then tries to move to Canada. The only English I heard from him was two words at the end. If I want to move to France I learn French. Russia, Russian. America, English. Canada, English or French. What good is he doing for either country? No sympathy from me and I'm married to a Mexican.

Lived in english speaking America for 20 years and can not speak english??? Why would we want yet another person who is NOT WILLING to assimilate in Canada???? Canada has NO CATCH AND RELEASE laws!! Its catch and arrest!!!

weird how theres so much negativity here...question? The America's is a baby country; young. Does everyone realize that it doesnt matter if its Canada, Mexico or any other American country....WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS!...

I'm an immigrant and I wish I didn't leave my homeland and immigrated to North America! I'm not saying that in a bad way, but we immigrants suffer a lot when we leave our original countries to live and work abroad! I spent the last 25 years of my life unhappy, alone, lonely and without family! When I talk to my family back home, most of them are living happily while I'm suffering here! You might say, why don't you go back!!! My answer, after living here for 25 years, I don't feel I belong back home and sadly I don't believe I belong here either! \nPeace and love!

If he had stayed in the US hre and his family would be locked up in a for profit prison being indefinitely detained. He should've gone to Canada the same way he came to America, under the radar. Even having lost his money he's not in jail so he's much better off.

Jose should just wave the Mexican flag and DEMAND to stay in Canada, just like the illegals do here in America.

It should be more easy to invade another country and use their welfare system for noncitizens... I’m saying that the USA should invade Mexico and they should pay for our US Citizens to live in Mexico as undocumented invading illegal aliens. The Mexican government are a bunch of hypocrites though. They go to California for campaigning to even get their own president elected. That shows how raped the USA has been from Mexico’s citizens. \nThis video of an illegal alien (lying invader who reduces immigrant to mean someone who doesn’t follow the law,) makes the USA look like a sorry worthless place to live. \nCanada even has rules and Mexico even follows their own immigration rules... but democrats and Californians make the USA look like America is pretty pathetic.

In America as well..a disservice.. to those who served...

If you go to the Middle East they tell you to cover it up! Come to America and they tell you to take it off! You can't make em all happy! Ugh! Step off my hat, step off my flag, step off my scarf, if you don't like it turn your head! Ugh Btw Read our Public schools rule books closely! Ugh Stop the hate!!!

White sand beaches, rainforest, snow-capped mountains, fertile ground nobody from Latin America is a refugee. Including Cuba. They are Economic opportunist not refugees. It took 400 years of History to build America. Now Latinos are pouring into America demanding jobs and rights they don't have in your own country. Refusing to learn English screaming solo Espanol. Call Donald Trump a racist but have no problem setting up racist ethnic cleansing zones against African-Americans.

They think that if they come to AMERICA or CANADA they have it made. That will give them everything they need. Yet we have our own people to take care of.

THIS IS A GREAT SHOW. I AM GLAD TO VIEW IT. BUT THEN...I AM SAD ABOUT THIS SHOW''S USE OF LANGUAGE WHEN DESCRIBING SKIN COMPLEXION AND ''''''''''''''ENSLAVEMENT'''''''''''''. Any, and all, and every human can be caught in that bind.\n\n[[[ me-too ]]]: I CAME FROM A LINEAGE AND ANCESTRY OF PEOPLE WHO WERE STOLEN FROM AFRICA AND BROUGHT TO THE LANDMASS THAT WOULD BE CALLED AMERICA AND THEY WERE DEHUMANIZED TO AN INTH DEGREE, NO-HOLDS-BARRED WHATSOEVER... WHATEVER '''''EVIL'''' IS CAPABLE OF DOING TO ATROCITIZE A HUMAN BODY WAS DONE TO MY ANCESTRY AND LINEAGE...BUT I DID LEARN THAT IT WAS NOT BECAUSE OF THEIR SKIN COMPLEXION....THAT CAME LATER AND IT HAD A SERENDIPITOUS KIND OF ENTRY INTO THE LARGEST TRANS-CONTINENTAL '''''SLAVE TRADE''''''------NO!------''''''ENSLAVEMENT TRADE''''' IN THE LAST 500 YEARS OF MODERN HISTORY. BUT YOU SEE....THAT IS THE POINT. THIS HELL ON EARTH WAS JUST ONE PERIOD OF ATROCITY LIKE.\n\nSO. THE POINT IS; right now.....right now....it has been said there are as many as: 200,000 to 4 million people held in bondage in America and forced to behave and act like something called a ''''slave''''. The people are beaten and starved and raped and cut, and all such evils to force them to give up their ''''personal will''' and admit wholeheartedly that they are a '''''slave'''''. And this is true for millions of years or hundreds of thousands of years in ''''the humane experience'''' all around the planet Earth. Everywhere. And, by all people. Enslavement is something our ''specie''' will do to each other but usually on a small scale....not in the millions for centuries. And the people have all kinds of complexion. \nTHERE IS A LUCRATIVE INTERNATIONAL '''ENSLAVEMENT TRADE GOING ON RIGHT NOW'''' BUT WE CALL IT ''''TRAFFICKING''''' BECAUSE EUROPEANS ARE ENSLAVED IN THE TRADING AS WELL AS ANYONE ELSE..\n\nWHAT IS MY POINT? My point is:: my lineage and ancestry were not slaves....they were not slaves....they were ENSLAVED.....ENSLAVED.... ENSLAVED....ENSLAVED...ENSLAVED.\nWe can begin there to understand this atrocious behavior in the dys-human (evil) beings among us. We cannot fight what we do not know and understand. They were NEVER slaves; they aren't slaves today: they are enslaved. And when we join together and free them from enslavement they can start their lives without that banner still injuring their lives.\nTHEY WERE NEVER SLAVES; THEY ARE NEVER SLAVES: THEY ARE PEOPLE CAUGHT IN A BIND *in bondage* AND DEHUMANIZED TO AN INTH DEGREE BUT STILL THEY ARE A PERSON INSIDE WHO NEEDS TO BE SET FREE. (DON'T MARK PEOPLE FOREVER BECAUSE EVIL CAME UPON THEM.)\n --margaret opine, cultural anthropologist

While i feel bad for this family, they cannot say they are refugees as they were refugees when they entered America yrs ago but they are not if they go from being away from their birth country for over a decade! I'm sorry but you ain't no refugee in Canada \nHere in Australia we have very tight immigration laws and its absolutely harder to get here as our country stands alone we have no linking countries.

North America as a whole should be trying to help Mexico, Central and South American Humanitarian Efforts.

We created this problem by bankrolling civil wars in Latin America throughout the 80's now the hens have come to roost. Oh but Republicans love Reagan well don't forget to thank him for this immigration shit storm too!

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..

If I was South America I’d stay in my country, work & have as best a life as I could with what’s there. The American dream isn’t for non Americans to dream about or let alone Canada. Every country has its own issues you just need to deal with it, it’s better than running away to another place where your not wanted

This is the problem he's in America for 15 years and can't do an interview in English.

America has free healthcare basically, it's called Medicaid, I wouldn't say I'm poor at all, which is what people think you have to be to qualify. I'd say normal middle class, husband works in a factory making decent money and we qualify for it, but yes healthcare is ridiculous, even Medicaid doesn't cover everything.

Can I ask you why is it that the vast majority of Canadians will visit America but Americans don't usually visit Canada?

Racism in Canada is slightly less than in America ! Greetings rom Quebec

The british government and America is the worst jihadist how can u over throw Gaddafi the only hope of Africans, who was murdered just because of of his dreams to Unite Africa, Kick almighty US dollar in Africa, built standard rails system to connect neighbour hood, separate Africans from GCC, OCC, IMF, ICC, USC, PFDD, FTT and so on.\nInfants may the spirit of Gaddafi punished his enemies + those who created mess across Africa.\n\n\nfools

This is why in America we carry firearms to make all men equal even if outnumbered

*SpongeBob:* What I'm I now (shape of Canada)\n*Patrick:* America?\n*SpongeBob:* no I'm Canada\n*Patrick:* what's the difference \n*both:* Ahahahahahahahaha

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

Blacks have no place in Canada go back to America

Stop the immigrants stop the destruction of North America close the borders we need a non- influence prime minister like Trump some one who loves this country like trump loves America

these people were in my former balkan nation for 500 years causing BUNA, it is not compatible with christianity as muslim women were jubilant when the world trade centre got hit, they were so happy saying AMERICA GOT WHAT SHE DESERVES......

In America we need to see what is going on in Europe and stop Islam before it gets out of control, it's not a religion but sect

I'm not racism , but I wish muslims would fuck off back to Islam . they don't deserve to be in Canada or south america

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

Afo- American is a nation with in America . we were up rooted and planted . just dont go where you are not wanted is the message. Who needs the headaches.

Australia has the universal health care thing here too (medicare) honestly the best thing, I can't imagine living in America and not having access to public free health care, it's something we really take for granted here but it saves lives.

Get them out. Get them out. Trump is the answer for America. Can't stand them. Can't wait til they are gone. \n\nI have read the Qur'an and studied the life of Muhammad they are the only immigrants to come here and kill over 3,000 Americans in less than one hour.\n\nWe getting them out.

we must be mindful of Canada to close to home my concern are not with race as islam is not race based but the idiology of a consitution of colonization and eradication of all non Muslims in the world ....wake up America and the world !!!!!!

america is racism problem everywhere can't stop rich and poor or

Stay out of america, Canada, Australia, and Europe.

In america we have ppl like this. Theyre called the Westboro Baptist Church and we dont fucking put up with them. They can barely stage one of their protests now without being chased away. We would NEVER let them take over HALF a fucking city!

I am glad that we in America are still allowed to own guns! If they come here and start that shit with me, I'll deal with them. Liberals want to take away private gun ownership so that we can be easily vitimized by people like this!

why r they acting as if there so peaceful, who do they think there fooling they hate america.

Muslim women are a shame to the rest of the us women who are strong and independent. I do not want this in America.

I wish we could go back to the time when I was a kid. I don't think there were any muslims in North America in the 70's.

Go away from Canada America England India \nNo one want you \n\nArab world of you go there

As a Muslim living in Canada, I don't see the harm in a woman wanting to cover herself, I wear the head scarf myself, but in my opinions I don't feel the need to cover myself to prove I am more modest or a better Muslim.  I believe everyone has free will and has the right in this Country to dress the way that the law has allowed them to.  No one has the right to tell someone how to dress, not even the Prime Minister himself.  Telling a woman what she can and cannot wear is oppression.  I truly believe that if Muslims want to live in Western civilization, then they should refrain from covering their faces because the face is our identity and People have the right to know who you are and what your face looks like.  You cannot vote with a covered face, you cannot cover your face in a passport photo, you cannot cover your face for your driver's licence etc... I am a Muslim woman and I say this.  It truly is a shame how the media is portraying Islam and the Muslim people as a whole, and it truly is a shame that Canadians have become so ignorant.  I see more ignorance and racism in Canada than I do in America and 9/11 took place in America.  If you want to know about Islam, learn about Islam from a Muslim, a Library, google Islam, or offer to spend a few days with a Muslim family for research to get a better understanding of Islam and Muslims.  As a Muslim myself I can understand the hatred and the ignorance because we act according to how we were taught and raised, and yes we have many extremists claiming to follow the Islamic faith.  These extremists are not only hurting Western civilization, but they are also hurting the peaceful moderate Muslims that value their rights and freedoms as Canadians.  I do not appreciate ISIS hijacking my religion, I do not appreciate Hamas or Hezballah hijacking my Religion because I am a very accepting person and a very open minded Muslim and to be defined by media as a problem or a terrorist is very hurtful and a shame.

this is bullshit, if I decided to cover my face and go out in public i would probably be arrested for conspiracy to commit robbery. The western world is no place for islam. Keep all that bullshit on the other side of the world, they're not welcome here. They all flock to north america and try and change everything about our way of life, and bitch about everything we stand for. If i moved to one of their countries and tried to pull that shit i would be publicly executed.

Will you muslims please please come to america to try an enact sharia. I would love to see the christian fundies reaction. I alabama, they just approved preachers team up with police to spread christianity to law breakers

In america there is a new law allowing the government not only the right to detain indefinitely american's, but the right to kill them to. So if this is a law that has been thru congress in a ''peaceful'' country, then why is this of any shock to you? stop lessening to the media! I'm a muslim and I will never hurt anyone. There are bad apples around every tree.

People I meet here in the UK love America, it's culture and it's very dear people. I'm suspicious of your motives for writing this divisive drivel. Who are you?

America stand with you. We got over 12million illegals sucking up our system so trust me we know how it feels.

according to statistics countries with the death penalty such as america and a few of the african countries crime rated has decreased.\ni wont deny that britain and especially scotland have had a decrease in their cime rate.\n \nthe point is in some countries where the deth penalty is used crime rate has decreased.\n\n
