So not only did they enter one country illegally but when that didn’t work they entered another country illegally ?

By undocumented immigrant, you mean Illegal immigrant.

if illegal immigrants want to stay below police radar first thing,learn English.canada can enforce their own laws anyway they want.screw the media.

I agree with a lot of the things said in the comments. He didn't properly look into what is required for refugee status and came illegally so shouldn't receive preferential treatment. However, his not speaking English...where could he go to learn as an illegal immigrant? And likely he had to work long hours to save money for lawyers, etc. The language thing to me seems a bit harsh. He may even know passable English, but the reporters may have wanted the interviews to go more smoothly and so spoke in his native language.

Maybe update the title of the video to “Illegal Immigrant” to actually reflect what’s happening

I would like for vice to follow up on this because even in the states that I've been I've hurt that Canada is there salvation for Donald Trump's persecution against illegals and it would be cool if they can expand this news or story a little bit more for people to understand that what the Prime Minister has sed an done is false.

You mean illegal border hopper. Criminal. Not immigrant. What is it with the left not being able to call a spade a spade. He snuck across Canadian border too. He still has t learned. You cant just go where the hell you want because you're brown.

He's an illegal immigrant what did he expect?

What place in the world don't any type of danger??? Illegal immigrants all have one justification or another trying to convince the world that crossing illegally in another country it's not a problem and a nothing burger like the saying goes.

Lol illegally crosses into Canada finds out its not just “hey welcome” take are resources don’t pay taxes life off are land!! Haha no just no your leaving a first world country because you elected president Cheeto not because your fleeing persecution and death haha like come on grow a pair.

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.

Yep, illegals keep moving north, the Artic is lovely!

That head wear should be illegal to wear in our country. How are they identifiable if they commit a crime?

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.

Please keep your illegal immigrants in the US, we don't want their sorry asses in Canada. We want legal immigration only....

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

Most countries have immigration laws enforced. Hahaha.. What was he thinking!? They are more strict than the USA. Point: Lesson learned don't illegally enter countries.

And Vice Calls Jose an immigrant. Not an illegal, but an immigrant. And he's not speaking the language whether it be English or French in Canada.

Illegal is illegal whether you are in Canada or the USA, if you are not supposed to be there you are illegal!

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.

So wait... this guy has spent fifteen years in another country as an illegal immigrant because he refused to enter by normal laws, all the while apparently not having learned a single lick of English while he was there (or simply refused to)... and now he's complaining because he 'made a mistake' of illegally immigrating AWAY from said country?\n\nFolks, I'm starting to think there might be a damn good reason why people like this are 'illegal' in the first place. Just saying.

He illegally enters the U.S., doesn't seem to understand why ICE wants to deport him.  So he illegally enters Canada and doesn't seem to understand why they want to deport him.  So instead he plays the system by moving about to get his case 'put to the bottom of the pile' to cheat yet MORE time to stay in Canada illegally.  Then when he gets told 'NO', he changes up and says he no longer in any danger of returning but now it's humanitarian.  Time to pack up and move back to El Salvador and turn your home country into what you want it to be.

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.

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!!!

I pray God give him and his family peace and they can stay in Canada. I am against illegal immigration but i understand why they risk leaving their country. The government let the criminals rule and the law abiding people live in fear

Lol.. just go back home . He’s not a refugee but more a illegal immigrant.

This illegal alien is getting what he deserves!

Send them all back to their country. I don't feel bad for none of them. They did it to them self. I don't care what color they are. All illegal alien need to go. ALL

Asylum? From US? Lol that’s funny I’m all for keeping the illegal immigrants that make the effort to learn English and contribute to taxes and not utilize many welfare programs that Some Americans already do. I get it your country sucks, but you gotta at least attempt the immigration process to live in US or Canada

Everyone bashes the USA but the same thing happens everywhere because nations have LAWS. Ask anyone from Mexico and they will say the same if not worse happens at their southern border that happens at the USA border. There is a legal way and illegal way to enter and live in a country. If you choose the illegal way expect the consequences when you are caught. Don’t ask everyone to ignore the laws just for you.

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?

I like how VICE is trying to justify this illegal breaking the law twice!! I don’t watch VICE all that much I didn’t know they were a bunch of Liberals

DO NOT ILLEGALLY IMMIGRATE and you won’t have these problems.

Canada needs to take back Justin bieber he's a illegal immigrant lmao

Question. \nAs a centrist I get it, illegal immigration sucks, the running, the hiding, the stress and all.\nBut if bleeding heart liberals really want them here, why dont they open the doors to them, literally, open your homes to them and let them sleep in your guest room

You forgot *illegal on the tittle

It’s funny that the leader of Canada was making Trump out to be a devil because he didn’t want illegals in the US and mean while his country is doing exactly that. Just look at Europe and you’ll see how well that’s working out.

your  entered illegally wtf do you thinks gonna happen, then have a sob story... i get you want a better life but maybe you should do it legally

He's not an immigrant he's an illegal alien there is a big difference. I don't want him in my country and I doubt the USA wants him either and for good reason. You cannot just pick and choose the laws you wanna follow and walk over the boarder and cheat the system. All that does is hurt the country and it's a spit in the face for all those real immigrants who wait,work and pay lots of money to come over here. Deport them all and build a wall.

So he sneaks into the US and stays for 15 years illegally. And didn't pick up any English in that time? Or didn't bother. Then he decides to illegally enter Canada. Unlike his extended illegal stay in the US, he went through the proper legal process in Canada and was rejected. Then skipped a meeting with officials and moved his family and by doing so, cheated the system, thus expending his illegal stay.\nWhy am I supposed to feel sorry for him? Seems like he's an opportunist and a career criminal.

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

Title is misleading. He is ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT. We don't want him here because he can't work so therefore we have to give him welfare. Go back to wherever he was from and apply it properly.

There are just as many white haters as black haters. Both sides need an attitude adjustment. Yes slavery happened but illegal now .So what's next? So why do you need to teach children not to forget you came from slavery? If you keep looking to your past history how can you look to the future? Look forward to what you can do to better yourself? Why is s much weight put o n your horrible past. Get on with life.

For me, as a black person ive been told I should wear braids or dreadlocks whenever my hair is chemically straight. When I wear my hair naturally-winter season-I get a ton of compliments. I've also been followed by cops thinking I was an illegal Mexican immigrant because I'm really light skinned. I even had a customer speak Spanish to me a few weeks ago when he thought I was Mexican.

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.

Then why do they demand their religion only. They try to ban Merry Christmas, alcohol, pork products etc...if they were peaceful they would not make demands to convert. Having many wife's is illegal in Canada, but Islam demands it, you knew before you came here, that we did not allow it, but you force your laws upon every other religion, why?

What about the terrorism that Christians are involved in?  The sexual abuse of children that still goes on today.  People have to remember not only were Pope John Paul and Pope Benedict were aware of the sexual abuse the perverted priests and bishops engage in,  but Pope Benedict went out of his way to move and protect the pedophile priests.  The Catholic church has spent millions on lawyers to prevent having to pay out the victims of sexual abuse.  The catholic church also has in its possessions stolen art works and valuables stolen by the Nazis during the war.  They have not handed them back to their rightful owners.  And to add insult to injury the Catholic church enjoys tax exemption status and protection in Canada while the victims of the church do not have access to services to help them rebuild their lives due to the effects they still suffer as a result of this abuse.  \n\nAn example of the further victimization sexual abuse victims of the Catholic cult have been exposed to is the practice of Crimen sollicitationis  Crimen sollicitationis states that if a person speaks out about their sexual abuse experiences within this cult they can be ex-communicated from the church.  \n\nAs a white man who is an ex catholic and who also had sexual abuse from this church it is my belief that many young children who were sexually and spiritually abused by the Catholic cult did not come forward because of shame and did not want to have to be exposed to this kind of re victimization by the Catholic cult again. \n\nI believe it is because a lot of Muslim people are people of colour that they are persecuted in Canada.  The real terrorist in Canada is not only the Catholic church but a spokesman for them the Crime Minister of Canada Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party of Canada.  The are terrorists who rig elections, and their party is rife with criminal and illegal activity and are a threat to democracy.  That is why everyone should be protesting their anti terrorist bill they are ramming down the throats of Canadians Bill C-51  \n\nIf you have nothing intelligent to say and believe being a conservative makes you exempt from the laws of Canada, and you are set in dismantling democracy, the Conservative Party of Canada wants you.

beat their wives sorry this isnt the alcoholics guide to parenthood. full of bullshit, you have never read the quran so don't repeat the pathetic propaganda that had brainwashed your thick skull. superstitious just lol, your ignorance and plain stupidness is laughable. your full of shit, uneducated and pathetic.your iraq and Afghanistan comments are off topic nothing to do with the illegal wars stone age, just shows how broad your horizons your pathetic. grow up and learn some. pathetic piggy

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

Britain is not Taliban, stop forcing the laws that are Shariya in origin. The so called Muslim leaders, on news seem appalled, but in real, I am sure they are supporting and funding these jobless Muslim.\n\nPolice and Military actions should be take against illegals like these, heck police should also associate with Neo Nazi's and Skin Heads with the to drive these people out.\nI am an Indian who has lived in the UK. While my community of Hindus and Sikhs have assimilated into the British culture..
