a well spoken mexican guy with 2 kids and a wife doing what it takes to survive. i mean this shit is just made up. i mean cmon. Its not even REAL. Who leaves usa for canada XD Thats like saying, im going to trade in this ferrari for a honda thats not running but itll be super cheap to fix it, oh wait, everything costs tons more then i thought. Ya ok. A mexican in the snow. I dont buy it.

There is no such thing as an undocumented immigrant. He's just a run of the mill criminal.

Wait, he's told he needs to show up for deportation and he simply skips it?  Then runs to BC?  He's already been refused refugee status so how is it possible for him to ignore it and just move to another province and cost us again for a trial and probably another appeal?  So if he gets refused by BC does he then move to Saskatchewan?  Then Manitoba?  What a charade this is.

Most of those countries in South America are socialist wonderlands. Maybe if they switched to Capitalism, they wouldn't want to leave. Venezuela used to not suck until they elected that socialist douche Nicolás Maduro. Now, the average Venezuelan has lost approximately 17 pounds because they are starving. They are hunting stray dogs and rats for food. One Venezuelan Bolívar now equals 0.000010 United States Dollar. That's what happens when a country turns socialist, you spend other peoples money until eventually, you run out. Those in power like Maduro and his lackeys stay well fed and in power while the rest starve.

No where to run, what a mess , how many stories to yet be told are currently in the making . Trump will be out soon

Hey Mexicans and others. Take back your country with your blood. Invade Mexico City where all your Elite live. Take your crooked government back. We are trying. Got a hunch when things get hot here you'll run back to Old Mexico anyway. Don't need to hear any more boohoos. Dreamers go back too. It's my tax dollars not yours used to finance your education.\nOur black population could use more education dollars and they are * Americans*. For that manner our poor white population could use some job education skills also. LEAVE and come back LEGAL. Bye Bye.

People who can't speak the national language shouldn't be moving to another country especially not illegally. I can't feel sorry for this guy. I mean sure he's probably had a rough time but having kids and then trying to illegally immigrate just doesn't seem like the right way to try to live life especially not to raise a child in. \n\nIf you want to better yourself and your family learn the language and properly apply for a visa and come work here and contribute. Show Canada that your a worthy addition and eventually you can legally immigrate here. Trying to sneak in and avoid being deported isn't the way to go and it will never help your family in the long run.

LMFAO is it really so fuckin hard to fill out paper work to become legal??? They would rather run thousands of miles then fill out paperwork wtf

First of all you cannot seek asylum from the USA , another illigal and Canada with our idiot PM are stuck with the USA's shit. It is not very couragous tu run away all the time , not willing to help their own country and they run run run even after having been given a chance to make things right in the USA like learning the freeking tongue

We were not born with any clothes or phones or guns or any freaking borders. Yet I read these comments and watch in shear amazement at how everyday people pickup the mantle of these god awful politicians. They argue how these people or that people should be sent back a few hundred miles this way or that way. Truth is, we are unwelcome immigrants in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Venezuela, Libya, and a whole host of countries around the world. Killing people to save them. Yet, after our immigration destroys their countries. We have the nerve to tell them they are not welcome in ours. Truth is the world is getting tired of people that classify themselves as white people thinking they have some god given right to tell people when, where, and how to live. People that classify themselves as white are beginning to be seen as a virus of destruction that infects this once peaceful planet. You know what happens to viruses. They run their course and then are DESTROYED.

That’s what happen when you run from the law

I think you probably messed-up your case Jose. You have to give probable causes of danger back in your home country. Its not luck. Its a process. And you can still get humanitarian. Its not cool to run to vice for this. You just don't understand how it works. You better here than in the US. Trust me.

As a Canadian..... please go back to your country. We have job shortages in Canada. Countries are losing low skill jobs due to mechanization. Japan is the best run country in the world and is lowing their population...... take note people. Low populations is the winning strategy of the future.

Native Americans have trouble with drinking I have rented to native Americans several times and it has never worked out once the money from their grants run out or once they fall off the wagon and start drinking again they end up getting evicted I have tried several times it has always been a disaster many of them have come to me saying they have a drinking problem they've stopped drinking they want to move to get away from their friends that they drink with and if I would give them an opportunity they would be very appreciative a month or two later they are beating up each other it's not my fault that Native Americans have a drinking problem it's also not my fault that need of Americans get a lot of government money and do not hold jobs in a disproportionate percentage of their population

Go make your own country great for once. Running from your problems isnt go to solce anything.

You can run but you can't hide.

I wish it was talked about more, seeing Trudeau's beautiful tweets most people run up to Canada expecting that they will be welcome to open arms, the reality is that 70-80 will be deported. It is sad for every one especially the people that really needs asylum. It is so sad that we live in such an unequal world. I really blame it a lot on Trudeau, be strong and honest mate instead of a wet lettuce that lies to look compassionate.

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.

Wtf. You don’t look like a god damn asylum seeker to me. What are you running from? How in the world would you & your family be considered ‘refugees’?! gtfo & abide by the rules the same way the rest of us do

Get rid of islam, and the people who run the banks.. and the world will be a better place!

When you break the law and enter a country illegally, it is not that country's fault if it deports you back to your country of birth. if your country has problems, deal with it. Fix it. Running away from it wont solve its problems. After all, there are still people there who are dealing with the problems while you run from them.

The meaning of refuge: one who runs from his country instead of fighting for it!

You came here and lost all your money. Welcome librel run canada . I suprised they dident hang you upsidedown and shake the change from your pockets

why oh why is a white person running a museum dedicated to Black Canadians?

Stop running.

third installment . i was standing on the corner waiting for the bus going east . girl comes running up to me asking wheres the stop for the south bond bus thats coming . so i say on the corner where the womans standing , she looks around and cant see her and asks again this time more worried about missing her bus. i get it why she cant she the woman ,i think to myself should i say the fat woman because she was fat. but i knew why she couldnt see her , so i said the black woman and boom there she could see her. is that racism could be . she couldnt see her because she saw black first. or maybe thats not racism.

In Regina the majority of the homeless are native, not all but many natives live in run down places they don't take care of. I don't want to take the chance of renting to a native if there is a higher probability they will be drunks or trash the place. Blame your fellow natives if you are not like this.

Here's an idea!! Why not apply to enter a better country through the standardized legal channels like millions of other immigrants??? Obey the laws of the country you wish to enter, live, work in and be a part of? Who would have ever thought of that?? HBO is run by idiots and ruled by group think. HBO is a joke

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.

as a black man i stop trying to fit in, blacks need to start living in black communities, dealing only with blacks, we need to separate from white people, and stop looking for acceptance from white people, i dont spend my money with anyone that dont look like me , i accept me, we need black only schools run my black teachers

Poetic ...justice ...Why don't you make Mexico take care of its citizens and not be cowards and run ...?

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.

Let's put it another way... I was born in Canada and I had moved abroad at 30 for work and was gone for about 10 years. When I got back, it happened to be the same year our PM was waiting at the airport for the arrival of some refugees with winter coats for them and their Medicare cards, as well as housing provided for them. I had to run around for a full month trying to get my drivers license renewed since it had expired, and had to wait a full 6 months to get a probationary Medicare card, p-r-o-b-a-t-i-o-n-a-r-y....I felt outraged. I am not saying that many don't have a valid reason to flee their country, but when they know that they will receive housing and cash, of course people will flock to Canada, even if they aren't fleeing something.

Gotdayum, at least cover or blur ur faces if you're on the run. Smh...

The man said he gave an Attorney $15,000 dollars to secure his immigration. So, can I have a raise of hand's of those who have that available in their possession. People are missing that went hunting in America. Walk a mile in my shoes... Children are missing... The man I assume doesn't have a criminal record since I assume that the Canadian authorities have already run his fingerprints.. Spanish language isn't the same everywhere. The American slang Spanish isn't the same as the Spanish spoken in Argentina or El Salvador. In Mexico alone there are approximately 20 different dialects of the Spanish language. It's not the same.

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.

Question. \nAs a centrist I get it, illegal immigration sucks, the running, the hiding, the stress and all.\nBut if bleeding heart liberals really want them here, why dont they open the doors to them, literally, open your homes to them and let them sleep in your guest room

Regarding the immigrant issues in America, I have a few questions.\n\n1. Is it really hard to get into another country legally?\n2. Why instead of running to another country, these immigrants did not focusing on making their country a btter place?

U know what they should do matter of fact is help clean up thier own country so thier kids can live there and so on and so on not just run away

I think it's pretty straight forward Jose. Stop running for once, do what's required, including showing up to appointments. Canada is a welcoming country, we are a multicultural nation of immigrants, but you got to pay your dues, cross your T's and dot your I's like the rest of our families did.

The clear sense of entitlement here is just insanity inducing. Why should any country accept you jumping ahead of so many others that are going through the proper steps to gain citizenship? It's not as if he doesn't have citizenship anywhere, or is running from the cartel or the Taliban or something. \n\nI'm sorry, but the world owes you nothing. Overstaying a work visa or a tourist visa is a crime for a reason. Try overstaying your welcome in China, Japan, Mexico, Israel -- anywhere in the world. This is not unique to the United States.

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

These low down governing Democratic Officials that neglect their own citizens because they’re running a business within a business and need their citizens to give the funds to pay 💰 for it up front to benefit as the end result so it’s like a loan

There are tons of successful blacks in Canada, not all of them are like Drake's dad wo goes to prison or runs out on his family. There are plenty of successful Jamaicans in Canada that are highly successful. Jamaicans and other of African Descent are doctors, lawyers, schoolteachers, engineers, IT REPS, mechanics, accountants, biochemists, cops, and so much more. That's because they have chosen to do the right things in life. Life is all about choices. People who are successful in life, are successful because they made good choices and good decisions early on. People who are a failure in life are a failure because they made bad choices early on and life and wouldn't listen to nobody and did what they did without any regard for the consequences. Choices. That's what everything in life boils down to.

Lesson here is Africans would rather run from their problems instead of staying home and solve them.

If you ever get near one of these heifer's man do they stink, I mean you'll need to run to the door for some fresh air.

There is still a lot of work to do, because there are too many black men and women who suffer from low self esteem and they believe the only way to cure such low self esteem is by inter marrying. What they fall to realize is that their kids will be black and they will undergo the same problems so why not stick to your race and fight the problem instead of running which doesn’t help. Anyway, peace to all my brothers and sisters out there. Let us continue to build by remaining positive. God made us who we are. No other race is better than us. Let us not even entertain such idea. This is the psychology that the enemy have used in the past to destroy the minds of our ancestors, but yet our ancestors were strong enough to produce generations. Today we don’t have the struggles of our ancestors, that means we should do even better.

Also largely coz Canada is being run by a limp wristed leftist loser with no spine n ambiguous gonads?

Every time I hear islam is a religion of peace it's right after a muslim killed a bunch of people, so maybe you people whinging about being victimised finally know how us westerners feel when a muslim runs down a bunch of pedestrians on a busy street

I still get followed(STALKED) in stores that I regularly spend a good amount of money in.. I can't stand it.. We had one of the grocery store staff asked by management, to run out and flag my cab because i had looked at a toy but ultimately decided not to buy it.. They assumed i stole that giant toy.. That I totally didn't end up buying with my $220 worth of groceries.. Ridiculous! I regularly spend my fair share!!
