Speak English , not like a drunken master., miss! :)

Not only does this man break American law by coming here illegally,he does the very same thing by entering Canada illegally,in all the time he was in America he did not learn English,this man and his family must be deported \nImmediately, he and his family have been bilking the U.S.A.by using programs that they have no business aplying\nto.Now I can say for certain that he has tried to get freebies from Canada too!.\nWhen are our governments going to learn not to be pushed around,by people who are nothing but takers,takers ,takers with no appreciation for the country who is keeping them alive,if you want to speak\nyour foreign language,full time,while living in America full time,do it somewhere in private,I am tired of having people here that could be talking about me,or worse yet my country and our politics,while standing right next to me!.\nI am so glad that he wasted that money,earned in the U.S.A.and while milking our entitlement programs dry,\npayback is a bi_ch, now he knows how I feel about non-citizens getting away with cheating our government,\nThis man was brazen enough to go on camera and complain about living in the U.S.A.and feeling unwelcome,\nwell now I wonder why that is?he speaks on Spanish,in a English speaking nation,he's hiding from authorities \nhoping not to draw attention to himself,who might want to check his legality of being in this country.\nI'm sick of the internal takeover of this country,without any shots being fired like those of a real invading foreign \narmy, instead, over the past 50 or 60 years, a never,never,never ending,stream of people breaking into our country\nuninvited,undocumented,and very,very UNAMERICAN and UNCANADIAN.\nPUSH BACK AMERICANS,PUSH BACK CANADIANS,do not let our governments allow our countries to be turned into the shitholes from which the invaders are coming from.\nVote yes vote at your election times,and remove the people who are not stopping the illegal invaders,vote them\nout of their political positions,in favor of people who will stand for our countries founding identities,if not\nwe can kiss our histories goodbye FOREVER!.

How can someone live in the US for 15 years and not speak English???

Speak English is CANADA?! What the hell!? First it was the U.S. and now it's Canada too? We are lost...

*He thought that Canada would welcome him with open arms... WTF?!?*\n*An uneducated person who doesn't even speak English after FIFTEEN YEARS in the US, bringing his family with him is just a cost for Canada, a big drain on the system.*

Even if he did have a legitimate reason for staying, Canada would’ve never accepted him. You are only granted asylum status at the first country next to your own. The fact he stayed in the US and then decided to go to Canada says that he is an economic migrant. Also, I’ve found that speaking English helps you a ton.

Yeah you till the syrians to speak English or French

Just because he crossed the border it makes him an easy target for people to judge his English skills. What about Melania Trump? \nPeople tend to be so judgmental. Wish you were in his shoes where the lack of knowledge just makes you learn the hard way. People do things because they do not know better. So be thankful if you do. \nBe a bit more emphatic and think how you could help or get out of the way. \nHe may speak and understand some English, but he may prefer to speak in his native language. However he does the dirty job you do not want to do. Only then you do not say a word. Do you ever ask who is behind the apple you are eating today?

She doesn't speak English. She speaks Hate. I bet she can barely read a book or write her name. In oil-rich Alberta, a lot of people can make a good living without even going to university, which could be her case.

Spent 15k on lawyers, cant get to pay for english speaking class. Or better yet a free english class.

Can't speak English!

So this piece of shit lives in America illegally and still not learn how to speak English and then wants to turn over the border into Canada f*** him and his family ship those bastards back where they came from! Stop wasting American tax payers money on these illegal immigrants!!

Please don’t label this guy as an immigrant. He’s not, he’s and illegal alien. 10 years in the US. never learned to even speak English. The Canadians don’t have the resources to look after millions of these so called, immigrants.

So he still can't speak English after 15 years in the US? I think #1 requirement should be to learn English first. Ship them all back.

will he ever bother to learn english are there that many people in Canada speaking Spanish? loser actually lived in America for 10 years and he never bothered to learn our Language ,well looks like Canada says nope you cant stay here Go home , we have laws here too

15 years in the US and now in Canada and still can't speak English. Shows a real commitment to integrating into our society!

15 years in the US and he still can't speak english..?...Canada is extremely expensive...These people need to do their homework before they move to Canada...CANADIANS ,except for the wealthiest can barely get by...

Interesting that the would-be Canadians in this video did not appear to speak English or French with any level of fluency. If you were planning to leave your home and establish yourself in Central or South America, you'd learn Spanish or Portuguese to an intermediate level so that you could communicate/understand clearly, land and advance in a job, have the ability to navigate your geography and make informed decisions. (Are you comfortable that this gentleman as depicted in this video would accurately understand his choices should he be allowed to cast a ballot in the next election?). Several of my ESL scholars have learned enough to function very nicely on their own in less than 2 years. It is not an impossible task, but it is part of the deal with immigration and it is essential.

After 15 yrs. still hasn't learned to speak English. But look at it this way Canada's loose is the United States gain.

I would venture to suggest that part of the problem is one of language barrier? He's been in the US for 15 years and he's been in Canada for 2, and even now, he doesn't speak or understand a word of English! If he desires to live in Quebec later, he will also need to speak French? He really won't go far in any English/French language country, if, after all that time, he hasn't mastered the most basic terms in anything but Spanish!

Many years in America? and still cant speak English.

15 years in the US and he still can't speak English?

I'm tired of the words illegal immigrants, all I migrants from other countries illegal or not speak or try to speak English to fit in. Mexicans don't do either. Learn english or try to fit in. That is why they are on the American people's radar. It's not racism to be proud to be a American or expect these people to conform. That is were we are losing the battle.

He doesn’t speak English

Jose if you don't speak English I'm not interested go home

So hes been in the US for 15 years and still cant speak English? Could you imagine living and working in a foreign country for a decade and a half and not know enough of the language to have an interview? Then he goes and finds out canada has even more restrictive immigration policies than the US. All while being a shining example of asylum abuse.

Doesn't speak English, has photos of him working illegally in Canada, sneaking family into Canada illegally, doen't show to scheduled appointments, this is the kind of riff raff no country wants as he refuses to follow the rules.

Still speaking Hispanic and not English.

you have spent 15 years in the US and don't speak English?....shame on you

I cant speak a word of English and entered your country illegally. And now they want me to leave. How dare they! \nI would never go to another country to live with out knowing their language. Id expect to fail and not be welcomed. \nWhere the hell did this idiot get $15,000 to spend on lawyers?

Still doesn't speak english. HOW can you properly become a American citisan when you don't speak the language.We need people who care enough to learn our language and add something to our culture and society.

In the US for 15 yrs and STILL can't speak English.

He feels totally rejected and yet, he is speaking Spanish.  Hmmm...….  He also said that he felt rejected after being in the US for so many years.  He should have taken the time to learn English.

Fifteen years in the USA and he does not speak English. What is that all about? And look what happened Canada caused this father to be separated from his family. Canada is evil and full of Nazis ( note: the last sentence is the way a progressive thinks. )

Been in the U.S. for 15 years and still doesn't speak english. He is also complaining about another country's laws. Deport his ass.

Okay this guy spent 15 years in the US illegally and he can't speak English, then he wonders why Canada won't accept him? Send his butt back to South America.

I am so sorry to hear this, there is injustice in some countries and if you don't speak English they will take advantage of you.

I live in Houston Texas. People often say that Mexicans take jobs that no one else will do. That may have been true at some point but now that we are overwhelmed by the illegal immigrants every business only hires Mexicans that speak perfect Spanish and not so perfect English. So blacks, whites and other cultures are stuck! If I wanted to live in Mexico I would move there and learn their language why do they refuse to learn ours? I love every Mexican that I have met. I also love water but I do not want to be dropped into the middle of the ocean. There are at least 350 languages spoken in America why are we bending over backwards 2 make our country bilingual to Spanish and not all the other languages?

WTH, my sister had to learn french to come to Canada and this person stayed in the US for 15 years and cannot even speak English which is Canada's other official language

He did it to himself. He is NOT a refugee. He is just trying to jump ahead of the lineup and has no chance of being a legitimate immigrant. Can this guy even speak English?\nI also noticed that the GG's photo is in centre with the Queen on one side and Trudeau on the other. This is symptomatic of our government's attempt to change Canada. The Queen is still the head of state and belongs in the middle. The GG is the Queen's representative. We may not appreciate the Queen the way we used to do but she is still the head of state. Our laws are enforced in her name.

Spent some time in the U.S. and has now spent quite awhile in Canada going through the system but still doesn't speak English. Just an observation.

you use that $15,000 to take english classes before coming to a country you cant even speak the language off you fucking parasite

Can't speak a word of English or French then wonder why he is getting rejected everywhere he goes. Perhaps what's needed is for these illegals to return home to make there own country great again. What I don't get is places so many of these people come from is a paradise. They ought to be ashamed and God is punishing them for their treachery .

I have zero issues with immigrants seeking a better life in another country, being one myself, but a few things about some immigrants baffle me always. How do people expect to be welcomed and accepted by the folks of another country when they don't even bother to learn the language. This guys been in the US for 15 years and can't speak any English? Its not the worse case , I've seen people live far longer 30 or 40 years in countries like the UK where I'm from and they cannot speak a word of English because they choose to live in a self imposed microcosm of the country they came from. \nThey have to understand that it's very insulting to native people and citizens of a country that you want to be treated as a citizen yourself but won't make efforts to adapt to the language and cultures of the country you have chosen to live in, I cannot think of a better way to ostracize yourself than failing to learn the language.\n It would be far easier to have sympathy for your cause if you are able to show that you have integrated and intend to be a citizen of that country 100% and the easiest way is to be able to communicate your cause yourself.

The problem is not speaking English, there are citizens who don’t know how to make money or who are in prison, \nspeaking English is not having a university degree.\nthe issue here is having a good education and they have no trade and fewer academic degrees these Central Americans don’t contribute anything to the country to ask for asylum.

Why cannot he not speak English? How does he think he can support his family?

If you can’t speak English don’t even attempt to move to the United States or Canada, we don’t have time for bullshit.

so what exactly is the problem? there are laws in canada - no you can't just walk in a stay and get benefits. if there is misinformation in the community migrating north, then who is at fault? if anyone from any country, regardless of race, creed, religion, sexual orientation - anything - thinks they can just go to another country with no strings attached they're crazy. I get the feeling this is meant to look like a racist issue - it's not. if you're white as snow, speak english and carry a bible, the rules are the same - you come legally, and go through all the paperwork and checks that are required.

15 years and he still can't speak English

English is a genocide language that killed off the true native languages of Canada. Speak Inuit, Cree, Ojibwe or get out of Canada.
