Maby if these people didn't risk their familys lives (or the ones that send children unaccompanied) then they would be treated with more respect. Just because you think you are owed something doesn't mean you can break into another country.

I don’t know whether to believe him or call him a liar because if he had $15,000. $15,000!!! in Mexico do you understand the life you could live not saying you would be in a mansion but you would live comfortably enough to do it correctly file paperwork the way it supposed to be done wait your time and then move into America everybody thinks Canada so great but they don’t realize that Justin Trudeau is a lying piece of shit he may say one thing but Canada as a country follow the law that they have set for immigrants #fail sorry you thought Canada was better than the U.S.A

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?

Advice: follow the rules. Something people DON'T want to do anymore, and they want the rest of us to applaud them while they are bucking the system. And, providing for them while they do it. Our countries can NOT take in millions upon millions of people and not have severe consequences in ALL areas. Why cant people understand this? We cant take in the entire 3rd world and support them. WE dont have enough jobs for ourselves, let alone provide jobs and houses for the rest of the world. No one bought me a house. And the 2 years I got welfare after leaving an abusive husband, I HAD TO PAY BACK... I paid back EVERY CENT, and was forced to, which I DID. You hear me complaining and going to the media about THAT? NO. I did what I had to do and moved on. Come in people, everyone wants handouts, butno ine wants to PAY.

No one wants unskilled labor from shithole 3rd wolrd countries. Period

These people heard Trudeau speak about open arms at the height of the Syrian refugee crisis. I don't remember his exact words but I'm sure he didn't mean come one, come all, forever and ever. Every country has immigration restrictions and it's sad that people who are uneducated or don't speak multiple languages don't have the resources to research their best options. This is where international, or bilateral assistance programs between countries need to help each other. Hell, I live in U.S., well educated, 64 yrs old and don't know specifically what our immigration laws are!

A lot of people comment about how illegal immigration is ok, and blah blah blah. It's simple to say that when you don't feel the direct impact. Change the US as a country to your house. Now let's say the neighbors land Lord is beating the shit outta everyone in that household (play on the violence that's happening in country of orgin). One of then move into your house without letting you know beforehand (illegals). Let's say you don't mind and understand why they did so. Now they work hard around the house and get a job to spend for themselves and send money next door to the family still left behind. . But they don't have to pay for electricity, gas (aka taxes). And since you own a 3 bed room house, things don't change that much. Now 2 more of the neighbors flee because of the asshole land Lord. Now you have to start working slightly harder to pay for your utilities aka taxes. Now you start seeing how more people affect your household. Now even more people flee the next door neighbors and you work even harder for utilities plus your trash is overflowing, have to invest in larger trash cans, fix the doors or ascetic's(pipes, faucets, tubs etc) in your house from over use or mismanagement. Plus you have to start driving their kids to school, you have to get a bigger vehicle (that's a play on the education systems bloating classroom problems)spend more on gas and car maintenance, and since they all don't speak English, to have to spend money on making signs to inform them of the house rules and dangers. You have to invest time out of your schedule to inform them how things work in your house hold because at their house they walked around naked or shit with the door open (play on different societal norms or religions) and may even have to alter your rules as not to impose and anger them. Know the house is over filled and they expect you to buy a bigger house (play on the welfare state)I mean I can go on... But people reading this can get the drift. Point is, yes i understand that people want a better life and all immgration in not necessarily evil, but you can't just let anyone come in because you feel bad. Making change based off emotions of a few is detrimental to the whole.

though , I AM FROM INDIA.. CANADA IS ONE OF THE HIGHLY REPUTED COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD..!! THEY MUST SEND MUSLIMS BACK .ORELSE IT WOULD BECOME 2ND SAUDI ARABIA..!!

Does this mean there are shithole countries that know one in their right mind would want to bother in unless you are the 1%, gang member or other criminal who has no family?

The best and smartest thing any immigrant can do is to learn to speak and write English even though that's not politically correct to say. He would have been better off in the United States flying under the radar. Although with Trump as President INS will throw you out in a heartbeat. Also Obama deported quite a bit of Latin people from this country. Obama was enforcing the laws a lot of people don't want to hear that but that's true. Somebody gave this guy some bad information. Canada has the population of 30 million people. It's easier to keep track of 30 million than 350 million which is the approximate population of the United States. Also to my Republican friends Ronald Reagan naturalized and gave amnesty to 10 million Latin immigrants to this country in one swipe of his pen back in I think 1986.

So not only did they enter one country illegally but when that didn’t work they entered another country illegally ?

I’m always scared to get accused of shoplifting, not because I’m black but just because I take ages to look at 1 article. I can stay more then 1 hour in the store. I usually do every aisle even the ones that don’t concern me like the baby section. I just like to see what is new, what is available. \nI live in a country where shoplifting is not really an issue, so I’m used to doing what I want in the shops. I went on holiday in the US and completely forgot that I was not home. I went to target and didn’t take a basket as I was suppose to only buy 1 thing. When I picked up more then 5 articles I put a few in my pocket. It’s only when I got to the cashier that I was like “ I’m crazy this is not my country “. Good thing nothing happened. \nAlso I’m a day dreamer so I always look suspicious in shops.

I am a 16 years old muslim from egypt, and I am saying that what ISIS are doing is against Islam, my relative was in the Egyptian army while he was shot by ISIS terrorists, what I am trying to say to all the world is that ISIS targets everyone, wether a muslim or non-muslim, they keep bombing masjids as well as churches, they keep killing thousands of muslims and christians in many states. ISIS islam is totally different from the Islamic values that I was raised based on as a kid. If the government of Canda wants to fight it, then they should take these steps.\n1- They should have a security cameras secretly placed in islamic schools and masjids\n2- They should have a security bars over the masjid doors to check if any one who enters the masjids has unouthorized materials\n3- They should have a continous and a strong link between the intelligence and the islamic centeres as this may help greatly in fighting back terrorist attacks\n4- They should give muslims equal rights, consideration, and responsibility to those of non muslim canadians as banning something may add the fuel to the fire.\n5- Those who have hate towards the nation should not be allowed in\n6- Measures should be taken to reduce hate crimes\n\nJust to inform you that those muslims who are living in Canada, most of them are either refugees or converts, those refugees have harsh conditions in their countries due to civil wars, thats why they fled the country. In Egypt, were the population is 90% muslim, there are 9% christians, mostly were Coptic Orthodox Christianity, and they are living side by side with muslims peacefully without any violence or discrimination. Muslims have ruled Jerusalem for many centuries and Jews, Muslims, and Christians lived side by side peacefully without any violence or discrimination. Those terrorist have nothing to do with Islam, they are claiming that they are muslims but they are actually not.\n\nBut, what I am surprised about is that those muslims living in Canada that is shown on this videos are very religious and they are a tiny percentage of all muslim population in Canada, In fact, a study survey in France says that before the Ban of Burqa, of 4 million muslim women living in France only 368 muslim women actually wore it, many muslim westerns dont even wear the Hijab except when they are praying. Even of Burqa was banned, this will never reduce the statistics of terrorism.

Lady you reacted wrong right from the start even if someone says something to you stick and stones may break your bones but names will never hurt you. What a low end way to react. Canadians don’t act that way we pride our Selves of all being from some where else and living as a happy easy going country. I was born and raised here also and listening to you made me ashamed that you were born and raised here. You would think you learned a thing or two and apologized for your actions but instead it’s poor you no one heard the other side. That’s who you are not Canada we should deport you

I'm really torn on this issue. On one hand I see the pain and suffering splitting up families causes, but that wouldn't happen if they entered the country legally. Let's not forget these people no matter how well intentioned they are in emigrating they broke US immigration laws.

No one choices where they want to be born... plain and simple.... \nIf we had a choice we would all be from the same country, state and city speaking the same language ...duhh!\nWe're all humans with brains, and common sense!

Trudeu has done what Merkel did. Saying one thing for show, making people believe that they can go, then once the people get there, it's shown that thse words where just hot air. Merkel even backed everyone up in Hungary (see the Eastern Railway incident) and put the blame on the Eastern European countries for not being humane. ?\nCanada's darling dear did the same thing here and everyday people hoping for a new life get the sharp end of the deal. \nI don't see why this moma's boy is so idealised. He's just spouting popular rot, then backing out. A nation leader should take care what he/she says, otherwise you're just another style of Trump to me.

What place in the world don't any type of danger??? Illegal immigrants all have one justification or another trying to convince the world that crossing illegally in another country it's not a problem and a nothing burger like the saying goes.

If you are an immigrant to one country you can't really expect to claim asylum in another country. On top of that...I believe we should have a moratorium on immigration in Canada. let's start looking out for our own...PERIOD> 20,000 send them all back!

So what? They not only invaded one country, but two! They skipped two line ahead of the rest doing it right! He may have sincere intentions for his La familia but that’s no excuse to cheat! Btw their not immigrants, their (ILLEGAL ALEINS)! They didn’t take the time to do it right, so they don’t get share the same title as those who do it right!

So my bf is half Jamaican and Chinese. And one day some native women told him “go back to your country” ??‍♀️ he was born in Canada.

You need to be political asylum seeker, to get qualified, jail time, you need to be well known, articles, proves. Or religion freedom asylum seeker, ex muslim converted to other religion living in an oppressive religious Muslim regime from Afghanistan, Iran, for example not a moderate country, sexual orientation like gay from any-oppressive muslim country mind you, most muslim countries are kind of moderate. Economic refugee hardest one, just apply from your country in consulate , don’t break law then ask for assylum unless it was a life threatening situation like civil war

As a Canadian Salvadoran I’m grateful to be in this great country. However, I implore all immigrants/refugees to wake up and smell the roses, it is not paradise here....it’s great but not that great. There are things here that oppress Canadians, and the government is one of them. Racism exists here, better believe that, Sadly, In this world there is no more empathy, kindness. It’s a Dog eat dog world. No matter where you go.....ok maybe Switzerland or Iceland is alright ? but no where else. Like I always say Follow the laws, take care of yourself and your family and be happy.

Getting a visa or any form of legal residence in Canada is a pain in the ass, I know because I've tried. I was gonna move up there full time from Los Angeles at one point and I spent 10 full months applying and waiting and still got denied. I wasn't even a refugee either, they make you prove what you have to contribute to the country as far as skills and education and it's very difficult to get accepted

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.

Has Muslim education brought the worldwide Muslim community further into a modern, innovative, economic successful life?\nNo. They live in Ghettos in the West and their homecountries are in constant crisis. \nExample: of the 500 best Universities worldwide, there’s no one in an Arab country.\nMarrying the 3. grade cousin won’t help either?

I pray that he and his family have a bright future. No one knows what these people go thru. It's obvious if they left their countries they're desperate for a better life. Que Dios los cuide en su Nuevo pais.

Welcome to Canada\nBut wait there is only one requirement. \nYOU must come from a Muslim country.

I’m an independent (and I mean it, I feel zero in common with either party right now). \n\nWith that said, I live in San Francisco and work in tech. There’s the STRANGEST thing here. People idolizing Canada as their liberal shining star of a country. \n\nBut uhhh...they greatly limited their refugee intake as well. \n\nRemember those oil pipelines you were so against? They start in Canada. Canada’s prime minister who you love, was the one applying pressure on the US to allow them to be built. \n\nBut hey, they got universal healthcare. \n\n...but that’s literally it.

Then explain to me, why Muslims try to install “Sharia Law” in Western country’s that take them in, when they claim to be fleeing oppression from their own countries?? It’s because their very religion, Islam, is not compatible with Democracy. So, instead of complying with, and conforming too, Western society, their wanting a “special” set of their OWN rules to be governed by. This is unacceptable! Sharia law should NEVER be allowed to exist in Democratic countries. I’m afraid that until the average person fully understands exactly what Sharia Law is and how it operates, then we will continue to have clashes and worse.......civil war. I for one will NEVER surrender my freedom in order to appease some 7th century false religion. It’s a cancer that needs to be eradicated from the face of the earth. Wake-up people, your lying politicians have let a Trojan horse into our midst. It’s name is......Islam. -Stephen, Ohio

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

There are people out there that talk about things they no nothing about .. they forget they where blessed in life to be born in a country that only had one Civil War and to have Opportunities and rights and laws That protects all that.. Next Time you sit to have dinner with your family look at there faces and be thankful..

Where is the proof that islam is the 'fastest-growing religion' in Canada? No data are presented, only a blunt assertion. But if the claim is allowed, why is it 'growing'? If only because of migratory displacement from other countries to this one, how is that real growth? No, it is population transfer. Has anyone sought to discover the number of people who are BORN AGAIN TO ETERNAL LIFE BY THE SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST, something which is difficult to quantify statistically? But then, Christianity as Biblically defined is not a religion or a human institution: it is the truth. Islam is already defeated, because it is NOT of the truth. Its agenda has always been to OPPOSE Biblical truth. Do not be deceived by propaganda to the contrary.

I'm sure that ethnic screening happens in all countries, not just the white ones.

why do the whites with their english keep butting in into OTHER COUNTRIES? They are the ones who BEGAN THIS & call it FOUNDING NEW WORLD... which is adivine sounding nameforinvading, & killing the natives & taking over THEIR langds & ALL THE WEALTH, stamping out EVERY EVIDENCE of their existence...

Such generalizations. After listening for just one minute I conclude that you found out that lumping everybody into the same basket was stupid but it took you 25 years to find that out. Wow! More people are killed or injured traveling in car than in a mountain bike. There are 50 states in the USA so most statements you make may refer to just one or two states. Canada has 10 provinces and the health care is slightly different in each province. Wait until you have lived in any country for a few years before you can talk authoritatively about it. Canada is a good country to live in so is Australia but even better are some or the northern or western countries in Europe where health care is affordable and good and food is affordable and good. The USA has more millionaires and billionaires and a lot of them are in government. Think about that. Lots of guns and judging by the news quite a few racist cops who never get punished. Think about that too. Bad water in many places; also worth thinking about. There are more lobbyists than there are legislators and they all make money; think about that and ask yourself why.

Islam is the religion of peace, I am Muslim And i know more abuout Islam ...There is no concept of jehadi like ISIS ETC although jehad is piller of Islam but when your country attacked by enemies making killing then we do jehad and KILLING OF innocents is not allowed in Islam, wearing any type of hijab is good act and if one do not wear then yet she is welcomed, there is politeness relaxation and compromise for everyone in Islam,,,

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.

Call me whatever, but India has been dealing with this for a very long time, probably since 1980s. I dont hate islam but I dont love it either. Let's just say that I wouldnt buy a house in Muslim neighborhood. It has been a nuisance to India since a long time, every time we screamed in UN for help. We got shut down until the problem reached world wide. People say it started happening since Iraq and syrian war which is slightly incorrect. This problem has been there since ages prior to war, It just manifested on a high level recently. There are so many examples...This religion feeling which later turns into violence starts with your own house, your upbringing and your own values. If a kid is used to seeing his mom being suppressed then when he grows up, dont expect much from him. Now every community has this issue but in Muslim community it is engraved in you the moment you open your eyes on planet earth. You cannot defend the argument when someone says Women are suppressed in mulsim culture. The most hurtful thing happening is in UK. A country which gave you food, shelter, respect, a better life. You are trying to impose your values on it? As a matter of fact, good muslims should come out openly and boycott these terrorist who are trying to create chaos if they really want to show good intentions but you wont see any (for obvious reasons). They often cry about they being a victim but what about other people?? If all good muslim come out and boycott bad muslims then that would be a thing to appreciate and notice. In last you cant clap with one hand! Remember that.

I'm sorry these guys were discriminated against but has any white Caucasian travelled to an Asian country or India., well if you have, you will find that we're the ones discriminated against. It's happened to me several times and it's wrong no matter where you are. Judge on actions, not colour.

They deserve every ounce of speculation. Statistically most likely to perform acts of terror. And majority Muslim countries crimes against humanity are probably highest. Not all drunk drivers crash but you still get worried when you see one.

NO-ONE should be allowed in ANY-PUBLIC-PLACE if they cannot be very clearly identified. There should be NO EXCEPTIONS for this. If people cannot/will-not accept this they must not be allowed to LIVE in a civilized country , and NO-ONE so-dressed should be allowed through customs and immigration.

Canada is a Christian country and the muslim community must denounce Islam and be Canadain or leave. No one wants this country to look like Europe. There are good muslims and you can tell who they are. They are the ones that want to fit in to Canadas values. I would gladly protect any muslim that wishes to truely become a Canadian. Guess who I would have to protect them from? It is not Canadians they fear but muslims.

Muslims are just afraid of us knowing the truth about them so want to stop free speech , calling it hate speech when it is the truth and not a lie. Read the quaran and see for yourself, the book deserves no respect nor it's author. I read it right through and it doesn't bring people together but is an intolerant ideal formed by their dictator with low morals and no respect of non Muslims. They just listen to themselves and no one else and think they are right about everything. If they read the book right through like I did, they would see it is not worthy to be quoted or lived by such medival fairy tales. They will never let your country have peace, because they have no peace in their own heart. It's always they will push to have their way and you can just get out of their way or they will kill you.

Justin Trudeau should learn from other countries mistakes regarding bringing in so many immigrants. It seems they do not want to assimilate into our culture but rather change our countries basic culture to suit their own. To me that means trying to take over our land and impose the laws of their land on us. Many hate us, and i for one am very leery of the ones unvetted. \\i do not want sharia law/ Canada will soon become an Islam country if we are not careful. All of the ones allowed in should be under scrutiny before permission is given, This does not make me racist. Germany and so many other European countries have been ruined by allowing to many unvetted Muslims in... https://www.rt.com/news/375507-german-government-refugees-mistakes/

find one muslim country who invaded another country, the west is testing the Muslims patience for decades now and I am sorry for those actions of Muslims , muslim don't have to blow up theirselves when they see a western with gun in their home. Maybe western should till them how to react to such a threat.

Stop the immigrants stop the destruction of North America close the borders we need a non- influence prime minister like Trump some one who loves this country like trump loves America

If anyone doesn't want to show respect,then leave this country,all one has to do is research this frame of mind of bottom feeders!

citizens of your great country should .Look at one of the most welcoming countries in europe .Sweden ..you decide

All people who do not assimilate must be deported. As well as just stop immigration of Muslims all together. We are at full war. The people who controlled our countries back in WW2 understood that the citizens were number one priority and stopped all immigration of any ethnic background like Germans and Japanese. \n\nBut not all citizens were protected like the Japanese Canadians Americans and so on. The governments back then were very strict and careful. And did they have as much deaths of terrorism? No they did not!\n\nIslamic ideology is one of the most sickest and most anti-freedom things you can find anywhere. And its not a religion of peace. The peaceful majority are irrelevant.
