I feel sorry for his family, but people must follow the law. Get in line and follow the laws of the country to want to go to. It took my husband 10 years before he became a citizen.

Am I supposed to feel sorry?

Do I feel sorry for them? Yes. I absolutely have compassion for them. I have compassion for all humans. I feel sorry for them and the homeless people standing on the corner everyday when I leave work. That being said we (America) cannot save the billions of poor people in the world. Some of the countries need to get their act together.

So, an economic migrant makes a false claim for asylum, wastes a lot of taxpayer money in court costs, and is ticked off because he does not get what he is not entitled to. In the 10 years he spend in the US, he did not learn even basic English. And everyone is supposed to feel sorry for him. Sure, when it is one person, or two, or 10, people have sympathy and want to help. But when it is hundreds of thousands, or millions, people's sympathy button gets worn out.

He should go back to where he came from, no one feels sorry for him...

Don't feel sorry...it's not your country..

These people are not victims they are criminals. I don't feel sorry for them

I'm sorry to hear this - Lost cases are so Rare in Canada - We're usually much more welcoming. However, is it really lost - I have a feeling that's he's an illegal immigrant, which I don't support - Everyone, wherever they are from, needs to go through the system. And The Basics, such as knowing the English language, is a must! Especially if you got a family, no one is going to hire someone without the basics.

I feel sorry for your mother

I FEEL BAD FOR THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HOW SHE WAS TREATED NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THAT , BUT I AM SORRY I HAVE TO SAY IT LIKE THIS...AT THE END OF THE DAY SHE CAN TAKE THAT OFF , I CAN NEVER TAKE OFF MY BEAUTIFUL MELANATED SKIN EVEN IF I WANTED TO...THE TRUTH TELLER...

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.

I feel sorry for them, but you can't just come into the US illegally.

Am I ment to feel sorry for him.

hey I feel sorry for them too, but theirs about 2 billion poor people that would love to emigrate to europe…how many are you going to take in ? half a billion? A billion? All 2 billion ? what’s the limit? And what happens when you reach the limit and they still keep coming in ?

Had 15 years or more to become a citizen....sadly no decided to out family at risk ... loosing all of their money..they know how to work the system.....can't feel sorry for that.

Should have done things the legal way....its his own fault for all of it....i dont feel sorry at all and vice ...why dont you use your program to make it look like my great country canada doesnt care.....ugghhh

I feel sorry for this man and his family! But I wonder how sorry he feels, knowing that by coming to Canada, he and his fellow immigrant countrymen have, taken jobs away from Canadians? 1500 people like myself that have worked here all their lives? I was working in the meat industry for over fifteen years, just to have my employer, take my skilled job and give it too an unskilled worker, under the temporary foreign worker program. That program was set up by the federal government for unskilled workers, coming to Canada for unskilled jobs that Canadians didn't want. My job was a skilled job, that I had to work my way up from the bottom, to the level of employment, that only skilled workers were capable of doing. This temp program was for unskilled employment only! But if your employer is big enough in the industry, the government allows them to bend the laws of the land, and give your jobs to any undereducated immigrant that comes along...WTF? Canada wake up!!!

Maybe he should have spent the 15 k on lawyers on opening a business in El Salvador. \nEconomic migrants , making the media feel sorry for him.

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 dont feel sorry for him at all he knew what he was doing. He knew he was breaking the law he knew his family would be breaking the law by crossing the border illegally. I don't feel sorry for him for his wife or for his children. If he would have come across the right way he wouldn't be fighting to make sure he didn't go back to Mexico. It is his own fault and I don't feel bad about sending him his wife or his kids back across the border with their bags packed. Everybody's all poor Mexico people poor people come over they need help. No. They need to stand up to their local government fight back against the gang members and take their country back. If they're not happy with their country they need to fight and make the change.

This is sad, however this man knew he was breaking the law when he brought himself and his family into the US illegally and then into Canada. It’s hard to feel sorry for someone who is trying to undermine policy and law. Many ppl in prison are separated from their families too, should we start releasing them because it’s sad to see families be apart?

I’m sorry am I supposed to feel sorry for this man?

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.

This guy broke the US immigration laws now he is breaking the Canadian immigration laws and Vice does this piece like we should feel sorry for him. Vice, your videos tend to be progressive b.s.

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.

I feel sorry for him and his family, I don't know much about Canada, I but from what I heard they are EVEN STRICTER than the US aren't they?

I don't want to be racists cause im not I come from a country it has black people I mean a lot but just complaining black American they r racist too a lot of them are because when your Hispanic they see you and they want treat you like they are the best and im sorry for this comment but I feel like I been discriminated by them tho

I'm a canadian moved to the united states when i was 2 years old i feel sorry for you canadians but you can blame trudeax for the muslims coming over there i wonder if obama and trudeau are friends but trump is trying to rid of them here but the democrats are in the way they want sharia law the united states are swarmed with them also i don't want to believe in what they believe in and if you don't heads chopped off or stoned to death but i will still believe in god no matter what

I hope islam will be banned everywhere in the world. I feel so sorry for our western civilization and here for our Canadian friends

The first nations are the ones that I dearly feel sorry for... They're the real Canadians, it hurts how we treat them.

lol...who the fuck choses to wear that shit?  So stupid.  Islam is a repressive bull shit ideology that needs to be stomped out.  Fucking nasty ass people.  I feel sorry for the ladies of Islam and the dudes need to get the fuck outta here.

I feel so sorry for the Muslims in Canada... They should move out, and return to their homelands! There they will be safe and protected!

I'm sorry not to hound on Muslims wearing the macabre or how you spell it. When you wear something that covers your face and you look like a damn ninja. Can you really blame folks for feeling the way they do? Despite it being part of your culture or religion but you guys need to understand where those people are coming from when you dress up like a ninja.

The more i learn about islam the more i feel a bit sorry for those pore people. How can a whole race of people be so so sooo dumb.. Im not saying like totally stupid but seriously misguided in a major major major... way. I wouldnt even saY they are mentally retarted because the mentaly handicapped can be helped and they do make sense unlike muslims.

I feel so sorry for them, they so ignorant, if they want to please God praise to Jesus

I think that I am not trying to take sides..............its your choice..sure...o.k..i get that.. but with all the problems with the Nations security..i think they should be banned...I am not trying to violate anybodies rights..but what about the rights of innocent people who are getting slaughtered cause they wanted to go out and have a coffee or see a movie ??? this is a security act..a measure of keeping all people of this land safe.............sorry but its just a security issue..if a terrorist takes a gun shoots a few people then runs while wearing one..how do you get a description of the guilty party..its like me going into a school with a ski mask in September ...just makes people feel uneasy especially whats happening today around the world.....Peace....

I think Najabs are a great a fret a problem all over the world. It should not be a choice, seperates them from all things, Why be aftriad to stand up without the Najab at all I sit with one women on the bus! But I feel sorry for her and a beautiful face behind it! I kept quiet, but I still hate them wearing it? It is a violation, not spiritual they were mistreated and forced. Yes you have a choice I wouldn't hurt you but when I look at you is sorry and shame.. That is what I think be free with the Hijab at least I can be close and get to know you? With Najabs no

I feel very sorry and worried for Canadian as your new PM loves immigrants! I foresee more mosques building up in the near future and they will pushed for sharia law. Good luck to you guys and hope God save Canada. Oh, your new PM wants to legalized marijuana???!!! What on earth was he thinking but hey he won the premiership so obviously Canada love him!

Whatever you feel about the hijab or niqab or burqa or Islam in general, you do NOT have the right to enforce your opinion on minorities. Sorry. Majority cannot vote on minority rights, this is at the heart of a civilized society. If you are sick of being civilized and want to be more like Saudi Arabia, then go join ISIS.

My message to these people is that I don't fucking tow the line for any god. I feel so sorry for the Muslim folk that keep themselves to themselves and just get on with things. These yobs are using their 'faith' as an excuse to cause trouble. The Christian patrol groups are no better. They're simply one group of extremists aggravating another.

At least our immigrants in America are Christians(Hispanics) they actually try to integrate into our society & they also fight(12% of the US military is Hispanic) in the military. I feel sorry for the UK. Maybe they should replace their Arabs with Hispanics.

I really do feel sorry for Great Britain, how can a stupid person who claims to be Islam just open their mouth to enforce law in other peoples country? a Who gave them the right to? The British people have to stand up against these mindless cowards, tell them who's land they are in.

But if it was in my country, I would have abused him really badly. In the UK, they are protected, so I would have been accused of 'racism'. I feel sorry for some parts of Britain, and i'm not even British.

it's so sad and pathetic.... I feel sorry fory you England!! Living in your country, and hearing things like - go away!! you cannot be here!! shame...

This is truly disgusting to watch. Millions died to protect this country and the cancer from within will change it forever. I feel sorry for the people that come to this country and embrace the way of life. They get shit thrown at them because of backward cunts like these in the video. The sooner Islam is squashed in this country the better before it gets out of control.

Omg this is why many people around the world are turning on muslims.. Not just in the uk.. They need to stop forceing there believes onto people who dont believe in their way off life.. i feel sorry for the muslims who are not involed there the victims in all off this.. :-(
