You're supposed to have an emotional response to this and reflexively demand that these individuals get to stay despite the fact that they broke the law to get in. However it's important to note that every time someone like this man selfishly breaks the law to cross the border another man with a family just like his, that is going through the process legally gets screwed over. This is what happens when people listen to the left's fabricated, emotionally potent, oversimplifications with regards to policy. The people you claim to care about and want to be charitable towards, get hurt. This is one of the fundamental reasons why politicians like Justin Trudeau are such human garbage. Our borders need to be tightened for the good over everyone involved, especially Canadians. To do otherwise will just hurt people in the long run.

The stereo types exist for a reason. Because different races act certain ways period.

Here's my message to illegal immigrants, liberals and the liberal media. This to the liberal media, Justin Trudeau said all the stuff he said about welcoming illegal immigrants with open arms and all of his Trump bashing also happened for one reason and one reason only. Because your cameras were rolling. It made him look good to all his liberal sheep and it made him feel good that he was standing up to the BIG BAD UNITED STATES AND THEIR BIG MEANIE PRESIDENT. He never for one minute meant what he was saying. Look back at all the things liberals like Chuck Schumer and Barack Obama himself were saying about illegal immigration when Obama was president. Back then they sounded exactly like Donald Trump. Even Justin Trudeau in the video clip they show in this video. I bet you people at Vice News even still think Justin Trudeau is some great awesome prime minister for standing up to the big mean US president. Yet you can't see past your rose colored glasses that he really isn't going to do a damn thing to help the illegal immigrants he promised to welcome. He'll deport them just like the big mean president. He'll just wait till they've spent all their money in Canada first.

*STOP PUTTING THIS GUY ON TO SPEAK FOR US, HE IS AN ABSOLUTE JOKE AND LIBERAL SHILL!!!* \n\nHE HAS TO STOP STOP SAYING WE HAVE A LOT OF ROOM UP HERE, HAS THIS IDIOT EVER LOOKED AT A MAP?!! LOOK WHERE WE LIVE - *A THIN LINE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE COUNTRY* WHERE 35 MILLION CANADIANS ARE HAVING TROUBLE KEEPING UP WITH HOUSING LET ALONE *AFFORDABLE HOUSING*\n\nIF THESE PPL WANT TO LIVE IN TENTS IN THE NORTH, FLY AT IT, BUT THE REASON TRUDEAUS FIRST LIE QHEN HE TOOK OFFICE, KNOWN AS THE *REFUGEE RUSH* WHERE HE USED LIES AND PROPAGANDA TO CONVINCE US TO RESCUE 35.000 SYRIANS FROM HORRIFIC REFUGEE CAMPS.... THAT LATER TURNED OUT TO BE AN *ABSOLUTE LIE* . THESE PEOPLE HAD ALREADY BEEN RESETTLED IN SAFE COUNTRIES FOR YEARS AND HAD JOBS, KIDS IN SCHOOL, AMONG THEIR OWN LANGUAGE AND RELIGION. \nThat was the 1st lie of 3 YEARS OF LIES, EMBARRASSMENT AND DESTRUCTION OF THIS COUNTRY BY A RADICAL ELITIST LEFTIST ISLAMIST APOLOGIST COMMUNISM PUSHING DICTATOR. IMAGINE FORCING ISIS INTO COMMUNITIES WHILE QITH THE OTHER HAND THROWING TAX DOLLARS TO PAY YHR MILITARY TO RISK THEIR LIVES AND FIGHT THEM IN OTHER COUNTRIES - WHO EXACTLY IS THE ENEMY? CANADIANS? AMERICA? \n\nNOW WE LEARN FROM LEAKED BORDER SERVICES DOCUMENTS THAT HES BARELY VETTED ANY!!! AFTER TELLING US THE STRICT VETTING IS WHY WE DONT HAVE TO WORRY??!!!\n\nWHY IS HE STACKING THEM UP AND SUPPORTING THEM IN MY COUNTRY?? \n\nTHIA IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE DAMAGE THIS DICTATORSHIP IS DOING . \n*AMERICANS , DONT BELIEVE FOR ONE SECOND BELIEVE CANADIANS ARE BEHIND HIM, LIKE YOUR DEMOCRAT PARTY, MAINSTEAM MEDIA AND CLINTON SYCOPHANTS ... ITS ALL LIES*

One reason his claim failed was because you cannot claim asylum once you have already entered another country prior. He spent years illegally in the US then tried to claim asylum here in Canada. That has no legal merit for asylum.

15 years in the U.S. and I didn't hear him speak one word of English. Also, how do you prove you're 'endangered' - that you'd be persecuted if you return? Lots of people die in El Salvador every day for various reasons. So, can anyone in El Salvador come to Canada?

When You take a decision and not sure about it internally, suffering from continuous inner conflict, you tend to justify it with absurd reasoning. Absurd reasoning such as you earn maximum 10,000 rupees or 5000 Rupees salary in India. The problem is the kind of effort and hard work they put in Canada , had they put the same In India they would have been in a much better financial condition. Need not to sell ganne ka juice for $5?, just kidding! \nBy the way I myself stay out of India and I do agree Indian cities need to upgrade quality of living. We can stop migration of youths by improving our cities standard, and yes its going on albeit slowly.

Ya know what if a black man, China man or anybody else didn’t want me in there store no matter the reason I would take my business elsewhere. It’s his store he should have the right to say who can and cannot come into their house. But would make sure it went viral so he lost a lot of business, even if he was my color I wouldn’t put up with it. But nobody should be able to say who can go in your place without your permission regardless of the reason.

Leaving the U.S. which is as free as Canada is not a reason to accept individuals based on a refugee status. Most countries are welcoming immigrants. But stop trying to jump the line ahead of others. Canada has always been great neighbors with our American counterparts. Why would immigrants think any differently ?\n\nIs it because lie-beral stations like CNN have painted Canada as a better country because we have a dope running the country who is lie-beral minded. That's the sad part, and it is a good reason to understand why President Trump calls CNN fake news. They even betray their own citizens with these lies. Canada has seen in Trudopes time all the corruption and mishandling of immigration, that Canadians has had enough of his stupidity, and he is on his way out.

This is an insane solution provided by an insane prime minister! he is not qualified, and should be removed from office, for medical mental health reasons!

Canada is getting in the news for all the wrong reasons! TRUDEAU is a TRAITOR! The Canadian patriots stand with PRESIDENT TRUMP!

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.

The reason he was checked out so much at shoppers drug mart was because of the way he was dressed & the duffle bag he was carrying.Simple as that.

Trudeau is used to spending other people's money... stands to reason he isn't thinking where the money is coming from to pay for these people's housing.

This is what they did in Europe. The hotels and food providers made a ton of money on it and went heavy into promoting immigration for that reason.

nothing to sympathize about this story as is what it seeks when our country can not afford those who illegally migrate here as this statement I raise is clearly speaking for and needless taking to excuse the truthful facts for what the reality greater stands for reasoning with as it is for the cause even as I to welcome all raises regardless of were they arrive here as from yet only as by the means to apply for legal refugee status as anyone with common sense would see reason to deny entry into Canada as the wiser point being there is a great difference as who is properly vetted are those who do legally apply therefore I do show reason to empathise yet never to fear who are legally entitled to live in Canada without such our legitimate Canadians having the reason for causes to fear and there are no exceptions as excuses as reasons to have cause to fear are endless and were as the truth is our country is letting them in as Justin Trudeau is doing and not as this video is telling the truth as fake as I in my city in Canada and as others are being over run by Justin Trudeaus Illegal immigration movement and that is fact backed with prof all as seeing is believing and who can find reason to speak much less as think of it otherwise then what is a truthful fact best afford the flight fares to send them all back to their countries as they first came from not to USA but their own homelands to keep up with our greater relations with the USA as Canada cant afford to let our misleader Trudeau cripple our countries economy any further then his plans for those he is serving his globalist partners and their evil plan for a new world order as are the real intentions as his plans been exposed in attempt to shape Canada into their own image and it is the Canadian poor a are recognising this while those without time to invest as preoccupied by their senseless demand seeing to their time as is money dismiss their cause to get informed afford their time show of an interest those are of poorly minding excusers of the cause taking to worth held above sense of values as most are those of the ignorant people who voted for Justin Trudeau as it is a majority government after all that stands for a lot of brain washed deceived fools and it only goes to show how much of them as they are total libtards

Why is he so fearful? He could always just go to his country instead of other people's country.... That's simple and easy and no reason to cry

Please stop saying hes mexican, because he isnt, americans ask why we hate them everyday and this is the reason, you guys think that every darker skin person is mexican and illegaly here, and btw we also have illegal americans in northern mexico that by the way are retired and dont pay taxes and use our healthcare in the northern states (Baja California, Sonora, Sinaloa,Nuevo Leon, Chihuahua)

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.

He asked for Asylum but has no specific reason for it? He's illegal and needs to be deported and not an immigrant.

It's incredible you go to the Middle East whether you're American or not and you have to adopt the culture the women have to Where the material that they want you to wear for covering but yet they go to other country and they do not adapt and complainIn the funny thing is the reason why they're leaving the country that they left as because of war segregation women have no rights and then they bring all that krapp to the country they go to incredible

Even if they do try to do it the legal way sometimes they are not granted with any type of visa or green card. The government can deny their application for many reasons. So they end up crossing the border illegally. As well it is cheaper to cross the border than to apply for a visa or some sort of legal document. Many of these “lawbreakers” you suggest to be in jail have tired to do everything the legal way but it didn’t work out. Immigrants risk their lives and their love ones to have a better life, to be able to work to be able to have things that it’s impossible to have in their country. They are innocent people with dreams and hopes I don’t know why ya are so quick to judge. Try to put yourself in their place, and try to be open minded and listen.

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 don't understand what's the point you're trying to make with this video. It seems like you're trying to blame Canada and Trudeau for the situation that he is in; You (VICE) place emphasis on his situation and his family, trying to drum up sympathy for him, but the way I see it is, he's to blame for it. He came here of his own volition and with a family by trying to get around the system. That's doesn't make him sympathetic, it makes him stupid and naive and impulsive. Frankly, it insulting and infuriating because there are people who wait YEARS and pay thousands of dollars who are actually in need of coming to Canada. And now, because of people like him is the reason why the system is backed up to point of instead of waiting for 60 days, you have to wait as much as 20 months before you hear back (which unfortunately, encourages more border-hopping and situations exactly like this)

seemly...canada just welcome radical refugees...if you are muslim from middle east.ex isis..then canada will give you status with speedy process of immigration for landed immigrant\nthats the reason why you can find a bunch of arab immigrants from middle east like afghanistan somalia bosnia iraq sudan ,syiriah

They did the same thing to my husband. He married a Canadian woman and had Canadian children... But that wasn't enough... Then he was robbed and assaulted in a bad part of town which gave him extra time only because the supreme court wanted to prosecute the assailants who had attacked my husband... If it werent for the attack he would have been deported at least a year earlier... My husband had legitimate reasons to not want to return to his home country (also Honduras) and aside from that he has children and a wife....\n\nThey say there are laws and this and that... That a refugee cannot enter illegally into Canada and become a successful Canadian....that they have to enter legally.... But how can they enter legally when they cannot get a visa in their own country.... Now we are pushing for humanitarian and compassionate grounds... But life is hard in Honduras and we dont know how much longer he can suffer there before he makes the decision to take the long illegal trek to the north once again...

Dear Vice, \n\nYou're trying to spin this into some sort of politically correct bull shit sob story but I am not buying it, and glad others in the comments are not too. This guy is an absolute disgrace, and is nothing but a bottom feeder. \n\nHere are my reasons why:\n\n1. Lived in the US for many years, yet chooses not converse in English. \n\n2. Thinks on the lines that hard working class citizens & legal immigrants will pay for the welfare of him & his entire family. \n\n3. Does absolutely no research in immigration laws, despite spending that many years in the system, and decides to enter illegally hoping everything is kumbaya on the other side of the border. \n\n4. A dirt bag for no reason whatsoever. \n\nI myself am not a citizen of either these countries. I personally would love to live and work there, however in the future I will choose to apply and enter legally, and encourage everyone to do the same. These asshole illegal immigrants ruin it for everyone else, just look where the US immigration system is at. It's an absolute mess!

This video is biased bc it doesn’t ask the same things in the opposite way. Such as: How many people have the apt. Owners had to evict from their buildings and what were their races? People are so quick to throw the race card however maybe there are legitimate reasons for the apartment owners behaviors, possibly?

I’m so sick of companies telling us their policies. Just because you have a policy don’t mean they following them. It’s like the laws. There’s a reason we got prisons

Lol, the funniest part about most shoplifters is that they are usually white and the only reason they don't get caught is because no one is watching them or cares if they steal. Even when a worker sees them stealing, they let them get away with it. Smdh. I've seen it many times. One specific time some white guy walked so casually into the beverage aisle at Walmart, put 4 packages of 4 pk Redbull in his backpack, and walked away like nothing happened. Another time, this white guy went to the bulk candy section, loaded up his bag, security SAW HIM and stared at him leaving the store AND DID NOTHING! This white guy I used to work with ALWAYS STOLE HIS LUNCHES and jokingly admitted that he stole cause NO ONE WATCHES HIM OR CARES IF HE DOES! I SEE IT ALL THE TIME! So you little white people watching everyone else, I hope you all lose billions since you love to watch other people and not your own, LMAO!

Isn't it a business/home owners prerogative to discriminate against whoever they want. And if that discrimination is a bad business decision then it's a loss for the owner. Capitalism makes you pay for discriminating against people for the wrong reason. But rentals is all about discrimination, as an owner you want the best tenant. So you judge every little detail

It is a very misleading headline. It is obvious that the specific case mentioned had some issues, although I sympathize, the is no reason a government needs to approve without following the proper rules. My take away from this video is, people like these are delaying the processing for people who genuinely need to seek asylum.

I'm sure it's not because 60% of blacks in the US have some sort of criminal past.  God gave me common sense and good reasoning abilities and I use them all day everyday.

I would like to move USA so badly until I am older.\nUSA is more anything than Canada. Long time ago and before I was born.\nMy parent was from Asian and move to Quebec instead country an English.\nBecause I am from Quebec and speaking French.\nThe reason I think Quebec is so bored and there’re some English people and French host people.\nI think French is not interesting for me. I prefer to use language English.\nBecause I prefer English than French.

The first call to prayer was made by a black slave hundreds of years ago.I think the problem is with white people hating themselves because they were indoctrinated by the left.Enough is enough the reason why we have people calling eachother names is because it is effective in upsetting them.Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me is what we were taught as children.But there is no money in that right.

Speak English dude. People like him are the reason we in the US cater to Spanish speakers and employers turn away able applicants for Spanish speaking ones receiving first pick.

She was rude and a b***h to those people for no reason but she didn't bring up race\nI hate when racism is watered down by applying it to everything. \nP.s. The language you speak does not tie you to one race.

i'm Canadian and i feel very ashamed because of this CANEEEEDIAN woman here, like their points we're very valid and if she'd just listen then the cops wouldn't have to be called, the reason for the video to be recorded and her talking more about being a CANEEEEEEEEDIAN woman. She is a disgrace.\nALSO \nshe said speak english, this is canada should know both english and french are canada's language. not just english, besides if someone else speaks a different language shouldn't mean a thing they're canadian and they belong here in canada.

so I just have one question... Why is it that black people are being followed in department stores? Think really long and really hard about that... Here in America it is because we have a huge problem with the black community feeling entitled and running through stores and just taking what they want ( flash mobs). The reason they are profiled isn't because of their skin color, it's because they are known, as a culture, to be Thieves who have been told they're entitled. that doesn't mean I believe that it's right, I just understand why people are leery of a culture that feels that it's okay for them to steal and take whatever they want. Nor do I believe all people with that skin color are part of that culture.

with respect to the job situation I am not really surprised at all. The higher up you go in terms of qualifications requirements is the less likely you are to find discrimination based on names in Toronto. \n\nThe real discrimination is at the bottom of the pay scale where the people making the decisions are less likely to be university educated and more likely to be say a white forklift driver who came up through the ranks and has been promoted through length of service rather than and specific qualification. He is likely tp still hold on to that Èthey are taking our jobs È mentality.\n\nAnother thing to consider in this Ontario/Toronto employment thing too is this. Ethnic employers tend to discriminated HEAVILY against anyone who is not of their ethnicity. The Chinese hire almost exclusively Chinese, partly because they can pay them less than minimum wage and get away with it. Indian employers hire almost exclusively Indians for the same reasons but additionally because they can get away with any number of safety violations because Indian workers tolerate and in fact tend to violate those safety codes in a normal situation anyway.\n\nThe same with Portuguese construction workers, they can pay them way less, get them to violate construction codes and cut corner on safety without being reported by or having workers complain. Polish and Romanian construction workers the same thing.

I am Asian, live in the US and this is the reason why I hate shopping. Workers are always stalking you until you are out the door. There are always more than 1 employees asking the same questions to see if I needed help all the time. It is so freaking annoying. I never stole anything in my whole life. But it is okay, it just means they are not getting my business anymore and I am saving more money. ?

İ am muslim and İ agree with you in Some points. \nAll the problem are made People,who was born as muslim but dont know even what is it. What is islam. They are cultural muslims. Not as Koran says. KORAN says THAT SOMEONE WHO FİGHTS AGAİNST YOU, YOU FİGHT WİTH THEM ONLY ON THE WAY ALLAH..its like protection. Not attack. \nİf you want to give your own thought. Search about all the provisions of Koran. Learn after argue about it. PROPHET MOHAMMED SAİD THAT CHRİSTİANİTY BEFORE CHANGİNG WAS TRUE RELİGİON AND THE WAY OF LİGHT. But Allah send Koran because of CHANGİNG in Bible. Please Read Koran and Bible. And compare. İt is for you life. İt is way of life both worlds. Religion is not just aktivity or Something. İt is the life. Without knowing how to live. There is of course possible all this difficulties. \nİ dont hate true Christians and other People. But if someone see me enemy because of my religion, İt is interacted. İ Should protect my Holy Book, my Religion, way of Allah. And ONLY because of that reason İ can fight not for another. \nPlease Read the life of Prophet Mohammed and Ali , Hussain \nSee their lifestyle. After write me what you want. \nSee you in Judgement day! \nİt is my number +994552560469

Its sad that this family has to suffer but immigration laws were put into place for a reason. This guy was taken by lawyers for $15000 which is his life savings. The only reason he and his family went to Canada is due to Canada's leader welcoming all immigrants with open arms. Canada's leader only said that to make Trump look like a ass. Well now how looks like an ass?

Anti-Islamic sentiment a growing concern ?!?!?!?!?! that is the concern??? islamic primitiv beliefs, the horrible way they treat women... what they believe about God as ultimate law...ANYONE?!?!?!?!?!? there´s a reason behind EVERYTHING... and their DANGEROUS BELIEFS is the reason...

It's almost like other countries have laws that they want followed.. but for some reason here in the US people think they can bypass the laws because we are a rich and free society.. crazy

Sure Scheer needs more of a backbone but come on, he needs to watch his mouth right now! Common sense says he is not going to push any buttons until after election but Scheer is for Canadians!! We all need to band together and vote Scheer or king trudy will get back in, he still has a lot of the dense population in Quebec and Ontario. Keep in mind that no one voted Trudeau really in western Canada and he still got in with our undemocratic election process (the one he promised to change before realizing it was the only reason he was elected and backed out). So we need to hate him more Canada!!! Spread it east!!! Scheer for 2019!!!!

So wait... this guy has spent fifteen years in another country as an illegal immigrant because he refused to enter by normal laws, all the while apparently not having learned a single lick of English while he was there (or simply refused to)... and now he's complaining because he 'made a mistake' of illegally immigrating AWAY from said country?\n\nFolks, I'm starting to think there might be a damn good reason why people like this are 'illegal' in the first place. Just saying.

I understand his reasons for wanting to leave El Salvador, but the sad and hard truth is, no other country is OBLIGATED to take them in! Canada, and even the USA is a long ways from El Salvador; did they try any closer countries??

Racism is a serious problem, but Islamophobia is a perfectly reasonable reaction to the disgusting barbaric religious ideology that produces disgusting barbaric acts in every civilized society that it infects.

Well there is no place like the US...no matter what... millions of people want a come here for different reasons especially FREEDOM !! come in legally...and you will be fine ..
