A well balanced report, something sadly missing in today's news. \n\nThat said, I do not see how Islam is of benefit to any western country. Wearing the burka or niqab is antithetical to our culture. I believe that in the 1990's, there was a small movement of Canadian women that wanted to go topless. That movement was also rejected by our culture. \n\nThere are at least 49 Muslim majority countries in the world where one can practice Islam if that is what is important to you. Canada should not become the 50 th.

It angers me what this man has done to his family. How do you claim asylum in a country when fleeing from a country you came to illegally? Immigration laws are very important and protect citizens of a country in many ways. The US welcomes immigrants with open arms when they come here legally. These individuals want to challenge our rights to protect our people, our country. This family may be no threat to our country but if laws are not followed it opens the way for the wrong people to enter. I’m so tired of this manipulation. This man is responsible for the pain his children are going through.. not the countries standing by their laws to protect citizens and legal immigrants. If you know something is wrong and you do it anyway how do you then blame someone else for the consequence? Aside from this.. when do people start taking a stand and making positive change in their own Home Countries? So many of these people support corrupt leaders that promise to give them all their desires and then when things fall apart they want to flee. The problem in this world is people refuse to take responsibility. It’s always someone else’s fault. If we allow people from other countries to neglect our laws our country will fall as well. Wake up.

Muslims are the biggest bigots and racists going! They hate all Infidels as well as freedom of speech--just like left wing liberals. They will not be happy until Sharia Law becomes the law of the land! It is already beginning to happen here in Canadastan.

Why doesn't the US do a flyover and drop leaflets to the
migrants of how it's going to be at the border?. We all knew this invasion of
migrants was a well orchestrated event with planned busing, meals,
transportation, media event stops where everybody got off the buses for the
media event and then boarded the buses again. Ever notice the babies, consider
the 7000 people, a good number of them requiring disposable diapers all along
the way. Notice the number of people walking in Flip-Flop shower shoes that are
totally impractical for walking any distance. If these people were walking
you'd be seeing them sitting when the caravan stopped. Don't feel sorry for
these opportunist they're getting PAID because we all know they don't have a
hive mind seeking discomfort, exhaustion, starvation, pissing on the roadside,
putting their children through a stressful event. Caravan is said to be 14,000
people now. With about 4,000 getting paid. The former ICE director says 18 to
20% of illegals have criminal records. The democrats are trying to conquer by
occupation, eventually they will have our nation so broke the system of welfare
services will collapse under the weight of sheer numbers of illegals taking a
free ride. Then our nation will be socialist like Ecuador.

15 years and still cannot speak English! He deserves to go back to South America! He obviously does not want to inter grate with the Americans or Canadians. I migrated from another country and have mixed in very well with Americans and I love the food! Pizza is so yummy!

Enough is enough, go get a job in your own country and stop lowering our employers expectations, turning our country in slave labor, as if 10$/hour was a freaking goldmine !\nYou can't even eat, other than junk/fast food, for that price for god sakes. Forget about buying a house as well.\nMeanwhile pricks make tv shows of themselves eating like pigs, spending more money in a day than most of us earn in a year.(lifetime?)

These racial profiling can go both ways. Back and forth and back and forth. And I have been treated the same way leaving a store and alarm went off so what’s your point. And yes the guy who did it to me was the same race as myself. These tests prove nothing. All this stuff has happened to myself as well and I’m white so what should I say it’s because I’m white???

Average wages in India is around 15-20 K for unskilled, and skilled goes upto 3 lac per month. That girl must be taking as per her unskilledness.. or maybe she was trying to beg in india. So you can go upto 10K. Well that’s pathetic they you even show those faces on YouTube. They should be kept hidden from society .

Please keep your uninsightful comments to yourselves. For some reason Americans feel it is their right to critique other countries that they are not in agreement with. We hear you but simply don't listen to you. Here's a simple fact you may be able to wrap your minds around. The world has changed. You cannot simply pick a time out of history and say that you want to go back to the way things were some 70 years ago. A despot has decided to ethnically cleanse his country ... for seven years that i, and as such human beings by nature are of the mindset they'd prefer to live and try to seek a better life for themselves and their families. But you don't focus on that fact. You focus on the nickels and dimes being spent on accommodation. We get it, you don't like people putting a burden on your system. The USA... wealthiest nation on the earth would prefer to not allow migrants into their county. You could afford to open up your country but are fearful of the financial burden and I have seen some Americans question why these illegals are getting free food and education on our dime. Consider an investment in your future. In 50 years the amount of money spent on these migrants fleeing from desperate situations is a paltry sum Mr Scrooge. BUT if one of those people makes a dramatic difference to your country then think how far ahead you will be. \nThe alternative is to send back the refugees or illegals and wish them well. That would be a catastrophic waste of potential life. So are you really worried about hotel costs in the grand scheme of things. Are your really? Pitiful.

Well if America hadn t started all these wars the world would be good Why not put them in hotels. , Canada is not uncivilized and barbaric we don t put people in cages and take there kids away from them, I m amazed Trump didn think about putting them in his hotels so he could gouge the taxpayers like Melania s apartment before she moved to the house plus the extra security to guard her. Or the taxpayers being charged huge money for Extra security for his 3 months of holidays at his golf course. Or the huge taxpayers dollars going to put dignitaries up at his hotel or golf course, Think he gives them a deal doubt it. Probably doubled the prices

These are the lies people are telling all of South America. The South American politicians are guilty of this also, because they want that money pouring in from the U.S and Canada. It sustains their regimes.\nI will keep stating this on every site I go to.\nFor years the U.S allowed this to happen and they fueled it. They turned a blind eye to it (Both parties) and then the Democrats (during Obama's admin) saw their way to flood the U.S with more of these card carrying socialists.\nThey started to disperse these families to states that nobody really cares about. Idaho, North Dakota to name a couple. They can turn these purple districts into Blue districts. They can start affecting the outcomes of local elections which funnel up to State Governorship and eventually Senators and Congressmen. It's the long play to turn America Socialist and it's been 20+ years and we are starting to see it in local elections.\nWhen they were trying to get the numbers of how many illegal Immigrants are in the U.S. the Democrats keep spewing numbers like less than 1 million. Well the numbers are in it's over 10 MILLION!\nWhen cases started popping up a couple of years ago about children being struck by strange diseases the news kept a very low profile. But in actuality it's happening more and more.\nHere is what you need to do. Go to your local schools to see what the makeup of the classes are if you see a cluster of South Americans there is your vector.\nhttps://www.cnn.com/2014/09/07/health/respiratory-virus-midwest/index.html\nhttps://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/mysterious-polio-illness-paralyzing-u-s-children-n658766\nIt's not a racist to point this out, these Countries have little to no healthcare for their children. The same situation happened to Soldiers who served in Iraq. They would get what they called the Iraqi funk.\nhttps://www.nap.edu/read/11765/chapter/6\nJust as Christopher Columbus brought over diseases from Europe and killed of the native Indians of the Caribbean Islands and latter to the Americas the South Americans are doing the same but it's not at Alarming levels, well at least the numbers are not high enough to warrant a spot on the evening news. By the time they report on it, it's too late.\nSocialists are rising up in the U.S. By the time the next US Presidential election comes up you will see more of these vermin infect the narrative in the U.S

People from radically different cultures, philosophy, and language are not going to get along very well in countries with histories of hundreds of years of a single unified culture and language UNLESS THEY ASSIMILATE. And SURE as hell don't enter my country ILLEGALLY.

He lived in the USA for 15 years and managed to save at least $15,000 dollars. He then chooses to go to Canada, putting his family in the same illegal situation as here. Not sure why he left El Savador, but 15 years is a long time. Chances are the reason is no longer valid, so he should have been able to take his family back and live quite well.

I was born in Seattle and left to Canada (married) when I was in early 20's! This then was a good change for me as Vancouver was a great city compared to Seattle, moved right downtown and had a blast so for a young person (then) was great. Met some great people from all over the world and had health care, medical/Dental etc.... I worked in the greater Vancouver area for 8 years and it was tough, very strict, and did not help that I was from the states, white bread Canadian seemed a bit jealous that I was there, sometimes not very friendly. The Europeans I met were actually better to deal with and I got along quite well with them. The cost of living was about the same as in Seattle. After about 8 years being in Canada and working hard I saw America booming and the Canadian dollar was as low as $.62 cents (in late 90's) so I took my craft from Vancouver and brought it to the US just across the border, I became much happier working in the States, I took a little bit of bs but not bad from some that I had a Canadian accent (go figure when I moved up there I had a twang) I really never left the united states I will always be American and I have been still working in the US for over 20 years and deal with mainly Americans on a daily basis from all over the State of Washington. Depending on where you grow up or end up you should never see a border Seattle and Vancouver have more in common than Vancouver / Calgary in fact most Canadians don't care much for the other provinces. After 30 years of being part of both countries, I can say that people are people both have great offerings and if you took the best of Canada and America to combine then we would all prosper, there is so much both can learn from each other. Bottom line:I take the best of both worlds and what they have to offer, yes, I have found less expensive goods in Canada than what they cost in the states. I have seen it from both eyes, and if you cant be open culturally then stay away.

It's hard for a native Indian to get a job. I am clean-cut, well dressed and non drinking. I put resumes for a year at every job that came across my path that was a possibility. No one called me back. Most of time they didn't bother to attempt a serious interview. Finally got a job with native organization which I didn't go to school for. I am certified in Office Admin. but cook and clean house.

if he doesn't like what is offered to him after sneeeking into the country, believe me he is more then welcome to haul himself and his family back south of the border, we might be a understanding country, but him refusing to go to that meeting makes him a illegal and as such needs to be deported, we already take in more people then the country can afford to support the number of refuges that we take in should be connected to what Canada is worth ass a whole if we have a good year maybe add a few to the list, bad year oh well to bad.

Vice seriously your losing all credibility. Put up a big story about this dudes sob case. Only getting his side of the story.. of coarse he’s going to paint the picture of being a victim. “The lawyer lost my file” sounds like bullshit. Then he gets ordered to show up at the court house and doesn’t show on purpose.. then complains about being in Canada. Well I’m sorry to tell you man but The states wouldn’t take you either. And evading the government won’t be helping your case.

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

Well, I am not going to generalize all people in the same category. There are good and bad people everywhere in the world but being first generation immigrant in Canada is really hard in every part of life. First, even you are fluent in English you will have an accent that makes big difference in your job hunting, making friends and get along with different people. Many times, I have been treated on the basis of how I look and on the basis of my accent.

This central american guy is no real refugee. He is just a law breaker who violated immigration laws so he could bypass the legal system and those who actually go through the process. Not only did he violate US and Canadian territory but also Mexican as well. I understand his motives, but no sympathy here for law breakers like him. There is an immigration process and he must respect it.

Did she just list honor killings as a part of Islam??? This journalist needs to research the religion properly because honor killings are not condoned whatsoever... this concept is just belted out by haters who are on a smear campaign of Islam. And then this journalist gave that farzana lady the last word of her 'critical' views on Islam it just undid everything the Muslims were doing before her giving a clearer picture of Islam, farzana lady will just make people confused I mean those are her personal opinions but how does it help this piece? Also last time I checked following fashion trends is not synonymous to peer pressure as what journalist wants to suggest that girl was peer pressured in to wearing the scarf when she clearly explained she wasn't. And when that guy was talking about teaching women Islamic studies journalist is like but you just teach them Islam not anything else WELL it's a mosque that's what people usually do if they want to learn religion they go to place of worship, if they want to learn something else they go to school or university. She's just twisting their words to give this undertone to the piece that yes the stereotypes are true but Muslims are still somewhat ok. Just stop spreading the hate and provide non-bias journalism!

This is a bit one sided as this study showed Caucasian businesses. How about Asian, Black or other races' establishments and see how they faired with racial profiling. I used to work with someone that worked for high end stores and she mentioned that they do actually go to class to spot someone that will actually spend money vs someone who just wants to window shop and yes they also taught racial profiling. Sales associates will cater more to well dressed shoppers compared to people who wears plain clothing.

You are what you eat. Do you really think muslims well get control. LMAO. Seriously They can not even get control over there. They made a mess of their own land. The only thing I see is everything gets dirty. Everyone wants to come to the North, United States and Canada. These people need to go make their own work. Canada has a 100,000.00 people out of homes . we have no room for extra. That is not including the standard homeless, and troubled young adults. Someone told me they have people starving. Children dying. So do we, they need care and parents can not afford it. Tax me for i want to help every CANADIAN. When we are home free maybe we can splurge. Sorry to all muslims. you need to go home our Country is not well. .

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.

When our dollar was good I used to have a US Amazon Prime membership and have everything shipped to my mother in law's. It was awesome!! Are you able to get some basic health coverage to help cover a major accident? I guess if you're going to be fined $150 / month might as well put that into insurance.

I'd like to address this to the woman who went to one of Trump's rallies dressed as a Moslem with her head covered with a scarf and having a sign that reads, 'I come in peace'. I don't know why she was asked to be escorted out, but by her own words the people in the crowd were throwing questions at her as to whether she had a bomb under her cloak. Well, whether she knew it or not, she provoked the crowd by wearing the mark of a Moslem - her cloak. Also, by going to the rally dressed the way she was, she knew before hand that she'd be treated that way. On her part, I see that as provocation. Had she gone plainly dressed or attired like everybody else, there would have been no adverse reaction toward her. I don't know what she could have said why she was asked to be escorted out, but she fully knows that the whole of America had been given the real and true picture of Islam - one of terror, murder, beheading, bombs, war, and blood. How do Moslems expect the most compassionate, kind, benevolent people in the world to act? So, please, use your common sense and do not see America as the enemy, the aggressor, or the provocateurs. They're not. They are just being vigilant knowing that the enemy could be so sly, cunning and untrustworthy. Islamic people,we welcomed you to our country. Don't think that we are not watching you. We have given you a new start for a happy life compared to the life you have had in your native lands, but we are guarding against an invasion that your evil governments have designed for our beloved country. The truth of the matter is that you are our guests in our country, and you don't have he right to demand of us what you like, especially when you want us to change our laws just to accommodate or please you. The more attacks you perpetrate against Americans, the more we will be true to our resolve to deport you. Good Moslems, show your rage against the radicals amongst you. If you don't, you'll be sorry, because willy nilly, you'll be affected too. You cannot be in America and refuse to live by the laws we live by.
