The issue is that the intending migrants and the general public are ignorant as to asylum law. The public think of asylum as some far reaching, grandiose humanitarian gesture- when the truth is that asylum laws provide an EXTREMELY LIMITED basis of relief. \n\nMerely coming from a dangerous country is NOT enough to win asylum, in the U.S. or Canada. A person must prove they are specifically persecuted, by the GOVERNMENT, because of some specific basis. A Central American claiming Central America is full of gangs and poverty, while true, is NOT a basis for asylum. This is why it's my personal belief that the thousands of Haitians making a run for the Canadian border have an almost zero chance of receiving asylum- ESPECIALLY after NOT living in Haiti for many years. \n\nIn spite of this, migrants still make these claims because it forces the country to go through a time consuming legal process, and is a way to buy time and prevent their deportation. Or perhaps allow them time to find a local job, continue their education, or have a child born in the country and then make a humanitarian argument to allow them to stay, even after losing their asylum case. \n\nThe truth is, unless a country holds asylum seekers in detention for the entirety of the process, it's a given that failed asylum seekers will NOT return to their country of origin, and will simply go underground.

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.

Seeking asylum in Canada from America, a refugee from America. What he was running from was LAW and the chance of getting picked up and sent back to Mexico. He was NEVER a refugee he was an economic migrant and illegal alien and all of these people could have worked to make their country better and worth staying in. Obama wanted Democrats to have more voters.

Immigration law is bulls shit in North America in the states and also in Canada

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.

I tal you so; remember when you arrive , you spit USA know you go to face the truth . I remember when you where in the church and thinking in Canada you can get the residence? Face it and run back to the states , make money illegally wile you can cause you will be deported ; and your wife I'm sure she is back in America. So stop blaming Mr Trump for your bad decision and good luck amigo.

15 years not one word of English. But it's America and Canada's fault he can't make his life work. Life is hard. Figure it out and stop crying victim!

Usa is the best country to ever exist, and Canada is no competition to the USA because in America no body even talks about Canada, and I heard in Canada all y'all do is talk about America. Everyone on the planet dreams to come to the USA no one dreams to go to Canada, everyone on the planet watches American sports, basketball, football, soccer, baseball. Canada has nothing and the ?? is extremely fun and amazing so many beaches, mountains, forest, lakes, waterfalls big cities that are so fun and Canada is boring, Vancouver boring, Toronto Boring it's not like the us cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Miami, New York, Orlando, Las Vegas, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Houston, Beverly hills

HEY PEOPLE FROM CENTRAL AMERICA COME TO CANADA, YOU GUYS ARE HARD WORKING and a benefit to our country.

Canada should build a wall and make America pay for it.

These people just really want to work but I can honestly say that maybe God is working in their favor because this country is going down and God is going to do it , so maybe it's a blessing in disguise , and to the Caucasian how are you gonna get upset at people for doing the same thing you did, why because you write on your Constitution I didn't know you were God, God didn't put you here either... I'm just saying and good has a way of bringing everyone in to submission and really let you know your place.. America Canada Australia none of it is your Land.. You killed millions of people to take that land and your sin's have piled all the way up to the heavens..

Look at Vice News cry because Canada isn't America's refugee dumping ground. We need to be selective with who we bring in because we only have a population of 35 million, even a small number of newcomers has a large impact on our society. \nSincerely, a Canuck

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

Illegal leeching is what I call them. No research on this trip. It’s called Self Deportation FROM AMERICA LOL \nTHIS IS WAY TO FUNNY TPS LOL. Canada will figure it out hope Canada isn’t broke and is allowed to keep their freebies. Omg Salvatore is just Fine.

Can I ask you why is it that the vast majority of Canadians will visit America but Americans don't usually visit Canada?

Racism in Canada is slightly less than in America ! Greetings rom Quebec

did the muslims know they were moving into a country with laws with equality for women and men? the problem is with the muslims. they are feeling the same fears others are feeling. in the countries of Canada and the United States of America who has murdered more? the problem is feelings and the truth.

Canada better than America for freedom trust me

I was raised in Canada and lived in America for 3 years, this was around the time Hurrincane Katrina hit. I miss living in Houston, but wouldn't change for the world. I love it here in Toronto. The guy made good points about the obvious differences between the neighboring countries. I'm full of Texas pride, but Canada rocks!!!

I grew up in Canada and now live in the southern US. There were so mild few and far between racist instances. In America, racism is ingrained. It is a daily battle. There was a strong institution of slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow laws. All I can tell people on this tape is to try and come living here!

America is not all about war war war and guns just because we have a big military jeez! And not everyone here has a gun, there are some people that just don't like them for different reasons.\n If you come to a place like Texas yea just about everybody here has one I do, but there are still people even here that don't like um. You can't be an expert on another country by being there 100 something days. And I don't understand where everybody has this impression that all Americans are fat. Americans come in all shapes and sizes the same as everywhere els and other parts of the country are more health conscious than others. In every state you will find hundreds of gyms and plenty of muscled up fit Americans.\n As for the health care thing, I don't get it either but that was Obama momma and his stupid ideas, he was trying to destroy this country on purpose you know he's a muslim and we will never let one of those bastards sneak their way in office again. Now that Trump is in office he is trying to fix that or make it better some how. I have often wondered why can't we have a healthcare system like Canada's but America spends all of it's money on so many things in the world because of our position on the world stage we just can't work that out, thats what happens when you're the world super power.\n Most Americans have health insurance through their employer, a certain amount is taken out of our paycheck every month and if I get sick or have an emergency I pay a small co pay at the doctors office which is 35 dollars and emergency room co pay is 150 the insurance pays the rest.

I see America as a jacked up version of Canada, just California along has the 6th largest economy, but being jacked up doesn't always mean superior in all categories.

*SpongeBob:* What I'm I now (shape of Canada)\n*Patrick:* America?\n*SpongeBob:* no I'm Canada\n*Patrick:* what's the difference \n*both:* Ahahahahahahahaha

Blacks have no place in Canada go back to America

I thought canada was supposed to be better than America. I guess not judging by the trolls in the comments that seems to hate cbc but watch and comment on all their videos.

Canada sounds identical to Australia except the weather is warm here not cold I think I'd say Canadian people I prefer but than America has everything available which can be a good thing or a bad thing thoughts from melbourne

I'm not racism , but I wish muslims would fuck off back to Islam . they don't deserve to be in Canada or south america

Canada is America's Retarded cousin

DON'T LIKE IT GO HOME...GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY....LEAVE YOU ARE NOT WANTED IN CANADA OR AMERICA....

THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE OVER CANADA....AND BEHEAD PEOPLE.....THEY ARE BRINGING IT TO AMERICA....

Canada's cold, expensive & boring. The people here spend 1/3 of their time talking about America and the other 2/3 about hockey and how accepting and 'nice' they are. Our country hates Americans yet they rely on American brands, tv etc. For their livelihood and know more about their political situation than their own. I want to move sooo badly

well easy get your murderous hands off Muslim land, stop stealing natural resources and benefiting off our oppression.your starving people off there way of live forcing them to migrate. America is blood born. and canada is its baby. you are the ones who killed the red indians, kidnapped black people for slavery. stop pointing the finger when blood is on your hands!!!

You would have to be seriously blind if you can't see a war against Islam happening. People in Europe America and Canada's patience is running very thin with Islamic extremists and if Muslims don't stop their aggression and threats against nationalists then they are going to be on the receiving end of a terrible revenge.

Canada First, America First, Britain First.. we are becoming a country filled with suckers. we have no more rights as Canadians, all of our rights have been given away while we are being are prosecuted. Look at every country involved in the migrants trade from Muslim country's and how ripping them apart. I respect Britain, and I wish I could vote for Trump.

I thought Canada was cooler than that. I guess I was wrong but I have visited here six times. It is better than America where police here kill you (Mostly black men) without penalty. U.S.

Canada rapidly becoming America

Canada I get it. You are super nice people, but if you can't recognize evil and are afraid to fight for your country you are going to lose it. And if you think Trudeau is going to lead the fight you are mistaken. He couldn't win a slap fight with little girl. He will smile as your country becomes the Meca of north America. Here's a thought experiment. Join, become a Muslim, announce it on Facebook. Then stand up in the middle of prayer time and say I quit.

we must be mindful of Canada to close to home my concern are not with race as islam is not race based but the idiology of a consitution of colonization and eradication of all non Muslims in the world ....wake up America and the world !!!!!!

Canada is becoming the boot of islam in america\nStupid canadian liberals

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

Fuck America fuck Canada

there is no such thing as anti Muslim. If mom wants to take over North America and we must stop it! I love these Canadian for standing up to Islam! But this video is part of the vast propaganda network setup by Muslims to pretend that they are like any other religion or people and therefore are offended at being not like. That is utter rubbish Islam is here to take over Canada as well as the rest of the world. Every single former Muslim will tell you the same thing. They will use democracy against you, get into your country and kill you.

There a reason why Islam is growing not just Canada, all Europe, America, Australia so on because it the truth, same message intact from Adam(pbuh) to Muhammad(pbuh)\n\nISLAM MAKES SENSE

I want islam banned from canada altogether! Just because america doesn't like muslims doesn't mean we are any different. Canada hates islam too and does not want anything to do with that sick religon. No offense to muslim canadians but we dont want YOUR kind in our country.

Oh well Canada used to be a nice place, America will soon follow unless Trump gets in..Pce

Go away from Canada America England India \nNo one want you \n\nArab world of you go there

As a Muslim living in Canada, I don't see the harm in a woman wanting to cover herself, I wear the head scarf myself, but in my opinions I don't feel the need to cover myself to prove I am more modest or a better Muslim.  I believe everyone has free will and has the right in this Country to dress the way that the law has allowed them to.  No one has the right to tell someone how to dress, not even the Prime Minister himself.  Telling a woman what she can and cannot wear is oppression.  I truly believe that if Muslims want to live in Western civilization, then they should refrain from covering their faces because the face is our identity and People have the right to know who you are and what your face looks like.  You cannot vote with a covered face, you cannot cover your face in a passport photo, you cannot cover your face for your driver's licence etc... I am a Muslim woman and I say this.  It truly is a shame how the media is portraying Islam and the Muslim people as a whole, and it truly is a shame that Canadians have become so ignorant.  I see more ignorance and racism in Canada than I do in America and 9/11 took place in America.  If you want to know about Islam, learn about Islam from a Muslim, a Library, google Islam, or offer to spend a few days with a Muslim family for research to get a better understanding of Islam and Muslims.  As a Muslim myself I can understand the hatred and the ignorance because we act according to how we were taught and raised, and yes we have many extremists claiming to follow the Islamic faith.  These extremists are not only hurting Western civilization, but they are also hurting the peaceful moderate Muslims that value their rights and freedoms as Canadians.  I do not appreciate ISIS hijacking my religion, I do not appreciate Hamas or Hezballah hijacking my Religion because I am a very accepting person and a very open minded Muslim and to be defined by media as a problem or a terrorist is very hurtful and a shame.

Yep..when Europeans showed up on the shores of North Americas..They were also scared of the indigenous people...Go Figure...Please Canada Knock off the BS..Lets deal with this properly.

I don't see why Canadians must learn about slavery in that country. I mean, if 4% of the population is black and many of them are immigrants from the Caraïbe. What is the point? They live in Canada. Another thing, black Canadians are really sensitive for no reason. Compared to other countries in the Americas, they have it better. Maybe I can't understand what they are complaining about because I'm American but I see over sensitivity.
