what perplexes me than even after staying in US as he say for last 15 years, he still speaks Spanish and seems to haven't learn a single word of English.

To all the people saying why dont these immigrants stay in their county to make it better---here is a little think piece because i used to say the same thing\n\ni used to say the same thing but we are blindsighted by your american privilege. My parents are immigrants and i told them the same thing, why dont people stay to make their country better? And they flat out told me it will get you killed. Americans have no idea how coniving amd evil leaders in other countries can be. Just the other day, a dictator from eritrea was bargaining prices with Israel to send back refugees from his country. He said the refugees fleeing his regime should be given 50k to be deported from isreal because they risked their lives. You would think he really meant that right? As soon as those refugees come back hes taking that money and sending them to a forced slavery like military program. There is no such thing as human rights. So if you were in such a dire situation, dont you think you would do anything to get out? The only solution i see is if the entire world could be under a larger, strong governing force that keeps leaders in check and can withold vital resources from offenders. The UN isnt cutting it.

this is terrible. i hope they are able to find a way to stay.

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.

No sympathy for this man. He choose to break US law and then tried pulling the same bs in Canada. He only has himself to blame. Stay in your own country and make it better. And if you really want to live in a different country, then for God’s sake do it the legal way.

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

It’s not any safer in any country than their own. They need to come to the realization that they need to stay in their countries & make the best of it because the US isn’t gonna be playing games much longer & Canada doesn’t want the issue moving up north.

How do you stay there permanently? Is it easy for Canadians to get US citizenship?

The Koran is a book full of contradictions and Demonic practise, it’s needs to change from within, but for a Muslim to question the teachings of the Kronic Book is a death sentence. Islam the religion of submission or death. May those who speak out stay safe and many more join in the fight to free Moslems from themselves and their submission to Allah moon worshiping.

Lesson here is Africans would rather run from their problems instead of staying home and solve them.

I would love to stay in Canada I am from South Africa

women should be naked, if you are over 30 stay home

stay in your country

People that are unable to assimilate the culture of the country where they are immigrating, better just stay at their home country. Live the way you like respecting your religion, but don't go to a new country and try to impose on others  your own values.

Muhammad was a pedophile!!\nMuhammad is a pedophile, here are some direct quotes the Quran.\nKhadijah died three years before the Prophet departed to Madina. He stayed there for two years or so and then he married Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consummated that marriage when she was nine years old.[ibed number 3896]\nBy marrying Aisha when she was so young, Muhammad was, in effect, condemning her to a life of widowhood, for the Qur’an prohibited the marrying of Muhammad’s widows (33:53).\nSahih Muslim 3310—Aisha reported: Allah’s Apostle married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house when I was nine years old.\nSahih Muslim 3311—Aisha reported that Allah’s Apostle married her when she was seven years old, and she was taken to his house as a bride when she was nine, and her dolls were with her; and when he (the Holy Prophet) died she was eighteen years old.\nSunan Abu Dawud 2116—Aishah said: The Apostle of Allah married me when I was seven years old. (The narrator Sulaiman said: Or six years.) He had intercourse with me when I was nine years old.

So my question is why would anyone stay in a religion where they fear being killed ?

Come to Canada and become Canadian...or stay where you are. You have been warned. We're nice people here, but we'll only stand for so much.

The niqab is SCARY. The burqa is scary. The first time I saw a woman wearing a black burqa head to toe it sent a cold chill right up my spine. The niqab is anti-women. It is NOWHERE in the Quran. BAN THE BURKA. BAN THE NIJAB. We do NOT WANT Islam in the west. It's why Christians and Jews are not immigrating to Arab countries. We do not want any part of your culture. It's is a culture of the 7th century. It is a culture of cavemen. Stay AWAY from us.

Muslim go home!!!!!Canada stay free from sharia law!! PLS!!!!There is no educed for woman in Islalm!!!! go home!!!!!! Muslim go home!!!!!!!!!!!where...got to Iran, Irak, Afganistan!!!! Go home!!!!

it would be something if they would go to a Muslim  country and live as Muslims.  not stay in Canada or the west.

Religion like all superstition based beliefs cannot stand the light of day, or that is, any kind of criticism.  However, the Muslim religion believes if someone criticize any part of it they should be killed.  This is a believe system that goes back to the dark ages, and that is where it should have stayed.  If 10 % of Muslims think ISIS is okay, at what point do they start making suicide bombs ?  I am sorry but we in the western world had better come to cripes with their belief system, and be very careful whom we allow into any of the western countries.

I've sat back and waited for events like this to happen. Muslims go back to your country and stay the hell out of Canada. Canada shows you kindness and put you guys in hotel rooms till we can have the PROPER housing FOR YOU, and while you are there you tear up the bible in your hotel room. IS that how you show your thanks to us? Listen if you have a problem with the bible give it back to the hotel, the bible doesn't belong to you to do as you please with it...I stand by what I have been saying, they need to go...Fuck all Muslims go back to your country where that behaviour is acceptable.

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.

Was it easy for you and Hannah to get married? Will there be any times where you have to go back to live without her? My MIL tried to marry her bf who is Canadian and they had so many issues. He wasn't allowed to come here, she wasn't allowed to stay there more than 6 months. She tried to move some stuff over to his place while they were getting the paperwork straightened out and boarder patrol wouldn't let her through. They ended up splitting up due to all the citizenship issues.

So Canadians have perceptions of white Americans mostly. ? Hope you stay here for a long time! ?

People real Islam is not a religion of peace! Read the Koran and you will see! It's true that most Muslims are peaceful,but most Muslims like Christians follow the traditions of their Mosque or Church but do not follow the full letter of the Koran or Bible. True Koran believing Muslims who follow the full letter of the word of the Koran are violent and are not tolerant of other religions. they are a threat to any civilized society! Wake up people this radical evil religion will do nothing but cause pain and suffering to any country who tolerates it! Christianity is a religion of love and peace,a religion who's member are full of a holy,righteous spirit and compassion for their fellow man. A religion that is freely given and freely received and a religion to never be forced on another human being! We as a civilized people must never bow down to evil, even if our evil government try to force us to . We must all stay true and firm to our God and our brothers in Christ no matter what the cost! Peace and love to all!

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

first of all we should stop this guilt trip about Muslims. if anybody wants to study Qur'an he she will see the book is full of hate. Muslims want to conquer the world either by converting or beheading. Please people don't be stupid. how is it possible that Canada is selling its own heritage and absorbing ones of any ethnic groups that come here. it should be the the groups that come here to respect the heritage and law of this country. it is the fault of spineless politicians that will kiss the asses of any group that whines the loudest. our leaders contributed to tge destruction of muslim homes by going to their countries to rob them form OIL. Now the gutless, two faced politicians welcome them here and giving them what's ours. I tell you what to do......stay away from their countries, don't send our soldiers to their men, women and children. let them govern themselves. Canada is not fighting for freedom, those countries never attacked us. we follow Zionists, the small group of globalists who want to destroy nations. WAKE up sheeple.

Islam should STAY in the Middle East! It does NOT belong in the western world! They come here to take advantage of all the rights and freedoms that our ancestors have fought and died to give us! They will destroy our society! Are they tolerant or respectful of us? No! If we were to go there to their countries we'd be killed. If I had the power, I'd close all the boarders to them!

Good. \n\nMuslims need to stay in Muslim countries.

Islam is hated everywhere.. Their book itself teaches to be violent.. Why do these mushlims stay in Canada ,why dont they fuck themselves in Arab land????

Come to Canada to be Canadian. If you want to come to Canada and move into a neighborhood that is an enclave of your religion/country, or if you want to shun Canadian culture and values, or if you want to bring your homophobia with you, stay in your own shit country!

this didn't start last week or a few years ago.....this has been a war for hundreds of years Muslim, jihadist killing Christians and others who don't follow Muhammad...My way or the high way..look at the news ...look at Europe what's going on Germany,France England..a religion of peace ...right. where is the peace you speak of ...help us Canadians understand were confused we don't see a religion oh peace... My father came after world war 2 he was an immigrant ...stated IAM A CANADIAN put a way his old life and wrapped himself in the culture of being a Canadian assimilated in his new home and went to work...he was a single father with three children..not demanding his rights continually on TV crying he been wronged let me help you with your rights... work raise your family don't start trouble and don't be a bigot you are a guest in my country. If it was so great where you were from you should have stayed there with all your rights. All are welcome but check the hate at the door..its not welcome....

Anger against the west!! Stay home then.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. In Saudi Arabia, non-muslims have to wear the hijab. So if Muslims plan to stay in Western countries, they have to unveil just like every other Western woman. Besides, you don't know if it is a man or a woman in burquah and it's frightening. They talk about women in Islam wearing the hijab, but how many of them really pracitise true Islam. Why are not wanting to go to Saudi Arabia. Double standards - they want the Western lifestyle and money and not the Saudi Arabian lifestyle. No other religious group flaunt their religion like the Muslims.

why do they come to the west and then want to make it into the country they came from STAY WHERE U CAME FROM IF U WANT TO DO ALL THIS ! you can cover your face your ears plug your nose do what u like in your own country !

Canada stay strong; do not accept Sharia law.

Muslims should stay in Muslim countries. Christians stay in christian countries. Muslims come to the west because their culture only makes there countries hell holes.

I am islamaphobic and proud of it. Please Muslims stay away from me!

People who say it's the white males in power trying to oppress the Muslims with their culture need to wake up, If these people want to live in a society that abides by Sharia law they should have stayed in their own country or assimilated to the dominant culture in the country they immigrated to. But you have all of these people coming here because they've ruined their own countries with the same beliefs and values that they are trying to impose in the counties they immigrate to. It makes me sick. 

why don't the people in London take a stand and put these assholes in their place or get red of them ? you have my blessings and hell I'm Saudi \n\nif you don't like the rules of their country just fuck off back to wherever you came from\n\nthese hypocrites would go crazy if someone did this protest in their country as if someone grabbed their pussies hard, but in their mind it's ok to do it in another country ? \n\nno one is forcing them to stay, no one is making them drink wine by force or smoke a J\n\nI'm beginning to think these pricks are doing this not for a false hope of Jihad or religion, but just to make life hard for us normal people who go to London to enjoy it, just to make our lives miserable as theirs  

These little shits wouldn't stay alive for 15 min in Middle/Eastern Europe.

ah filthy London, thankfully this hasn't arrived in northwest London yet. Hopefully it stay in filthy east London.

Law and order needs to be obtained, Allah does the ultimate job. I'm just doing my bit in this short stay on this planet to do good.\n\nI was straight from birth my friend just like most respectful people.

Islam is the newest therefore cloest too the truth, it is not our book which has been altered millions of times. We stay true to what it teaches, do you know how many times the Bible has been changed? It is lies. Proof that we are the truth....\n\n

agreed mate. why is this happening to us. these people have the right to hate us and our treacherous politicians are allowing them to flood in. we can't cluster bomb their brethren and then let them come here to stay, that's asking for trouble.

the quran was not coped from bible. The quran claims the holy bible was corrupted even rejecting your trinity. \n\nMohammed (pbuh) had to be forgiven for allowing the hyprocites to stay home. \n\nJesus (pbuh) did not need to be forgiven for anything because his job was to be a teacher while Mohammed (pbuh) became even more than a teacher he had to make sure all his followers stay on the right path and he had to make them obey the laws of God

YES HALAL IS THERE IN QURAN AND FOR THE CHRISTIANS IT WAS THERE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT NOW CHRISTIANS ARE SAVED BECAUSE OF THE MESSIAH BEING THE ONE SACRIFICED ONCE AND FOR ALL FOR US, WHERE AS YOU DENY THE MESSIAH AND SO CONTINUE TO HALLAL AND HALLAL AND HALLAL...AND WILL CONTINUE FOR EVER COZ YOU DENY THE MESSIAH THIS IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND US......WE HAVE THE SAVIOUR AND HAVE THE NEW TESTAMENT, BUT YOU STAY ON TO THE OLD TESTAMENT AS YOU DENY YOUR SALVATION.

muslims nobody will hate you if u dont do nothing. Listen u come to UK so u have to go by UK rules ! If u want to see women in full dress simply go back to your country ! if u want to stay here! dont annoy or abuse anyone and u will life in peace!

Muslims .. if you don't like it there you can go back to your fucked up country. No one is stopping you the door is wide open. No one is forcing you to stay. Don't impose your ignorant, retarded, backwards religion on every one else.
