So, an economic migrant makes a false claim for asylum, wastes a lot of taxpayer money in court costs, and is ticked off because he does not get what he is not entitled to. In the 10 years he spend in the US, he did not learn even basic English. And everyone is supposed to feel sorry for him. Sure, when it is one person, or two, or 10, people have sympathy and want to help. But when it is hundreds of thousands, or millions, people's sympathy button gets worn out.

you cant really blame Canada for it US as well.you cant just go to another country illegally and expect them to accept you. there are laws to be followed and unfair to others that came before whos doing it legally. he just wasted his $15k .\n\nalso showing your family crying is cowardice and kinda low blow to gain any symphathy. Im living in a 3rd world country and I think this guy is richer than me and experienced more luxury,but i wont used his method

No English speaky...hmmm? Spent big bucks on lawyer? Instead of going home to Mexico he wastes money up north? Hmmm don't add up...what job does he have?

Shaking my head, a slow learner uneducated white hillbilly lady who never heard about the outside world, eh. She needs to eff off and mind her own business, done. She is there at a restaurant to enjoy her lunch not arguing to a couple stranger for not speaking the English language. Get lost, ugly piece of waste lady! From London, Ontario.

This is strange, how they chose a subject for reportage. Refuge status is not for everyone who want to improve there economic situation. He must to prove that his life and life of his family was in danger, that he was discriminated and absolutely not have other choice, but ask for refuge in other country. It is very difficult to prove, even if it is true. 90% of all entry asking refugee status will go home. It look like he should try to make professional immigration and not waste his time on something that he never receive\nIt is amazing, how he feel in title, real refuge simply not have 15000$ to spend on lawyers \nJournalist must learn a little bit about subject before report on it.

If you are not a Muslim, don't even try to come to Canada.You will waste your time.

Years of political correctness where faceless bastards with no purpose in life have empowered this radical shite... And now because they're in such high numbers the political ponces will prostitute the British way of life & values for their vote... The sharia shite has NO place on this island and those who are in support if it's values etc have NO place in a British society... There are clear examples elsewhere in the world against this ideology.. A lesson to be learnt.. I'd waste NO time in shipping their radicalized arse off this rock... NO human rights... a clear message.. either fit in or Fuck off.. The hatred within this group is evident.. A hypocrisy without parallel.. \nAnd thanks too all those bleeding hearts we now have a fucked up nation where rights are abused and the rightful are marginalised...

... FOLLOW the RULES (LAW), STAND in a LINE!! DO the process LEGALLY!! ... said someone who did it that very way:):):) ... might take longer BUT you won't waste your money on LAWYERS WHO KNOW you have NO CHANCES and YET they WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY, ... over and over again

What a waste of time. None of this is surprising or news worthy. Especially with the million's of actual refugees in the world right now.

What a waste of time and energy. Maybe they should do the same test with animals. Ask the gazelles and zebras why they act differently when they see a lion, or when they see a giraffe. One of those has a history of causing bad outcomes. When we see over and over again, chaos and violence being associated with certain groups, the normal reaction is self preservation, and conflict avoidance.

Nothing CBC says is believable. They lie, contradict and omit information at will. Its time to think about demanding accuracy or getting rid of this national waste of money. What is the point of having news, if it is mostly one sided and bull?

Living in Latin America is not that bad, well there are parts where you should avoid at all cost but there are places where you can have a safe decent life, most of you just say what comes out of your small little brains without ever even leaving your city your whole life. Its just that this people have lived and been so dependent from your system and in stretching their hands( beg) all this time that they not know what to do now. \n\nHe said that he wasted 15 thousand dollars in lawyer, if it would have been me I could have perfectly moved to lets say Costa Rica or Peru and still have money to buy land. But they really are addicted to this kind of life. I agree that the people in El salvador have made violence to sky rocket because they have not done nothing about it, they left gangs and violence to proliferate and now its just too late for them. But there is still hope in other places in Latin America.

dude has 15k to waste while entering illegally....it doesnt make sense to me

CBC is Canadian Tax Dollars wasted on biased one sided propaganda.

Whenever I see them following me, I purposely walk slower and browse even more to waste their time and hopefully make real thieves steal even more! Lol!

What a screwed up religion. Ok, Let's see if I understand Islam correctly. God or Allah, the creator of Heaven and Earth, all powerful knowing our very thoughts, chose a man as a model for us to follow. This man, Muhammed, who was illiterate, spent his spare time alone in caves, raped little girls and killed hundreds who didn't agree with him. Are you trying to tell me this is the role model for humanity? You are seriously wasting my time !

we ve wasted time in watching u as a speaker.coz u ....r

damn all of that pristine country to go to muslims ?   what a waste !

But at the moment, it’s very clear to me the most toxic form that religion takes is the Islamic form… The whole idea of wanting to end up with Sharia with a religion-governed state — a state of religious law — and the best means of getting there is Jihad, Holy War, that Muslims have a special right to feel aggrieved enough to demand this is absolute obscene wickedness and I think their religion is nonsense, in its entirety.”\n“The idea that God speaks to some illiterate merchant warlord in Arabia, and he’s able to write this down perfectly and it contains the answers to all — don’t waste my time with that bulls**t. Also, the archangel Gabriel speaks only Arabic, it seems? Crap.”\n\nIslam rather dangerously says, ‘Ours is the last and final one. There can’t be any more after this. This is God’s last word. That is straightaway a temptation to violence and intolerance and if you will note, it’s a temptation they seem quite willing to fall for.”

For all those ugly and ignorant comments. If you want to judge a religion, judge it by the holy book, Quran. Islam is perfect, Muslims are not. You shouldn't waste your time on YouTube or Fox news, but instead if you really want to know about the religion, STUDY it. Oh! And don't waste your time my fellow Muslims replying to the racist or offensive comments because all they want is your ATTENTION!

GOOD, Muslims should live in fear, We have to live in fear because of Muslims. \n\nThey wear the mask for our own good, To cover those smashed mugs. \n\nAny Muslim who lives in the West yet sympathizes with ISIS need to be exposed and stoned to death. These are people who have no reason to waste our resources on their pathetic useless lives. If they hate us so bad why do they come here? (west) Is it because being Christian nations blessed us with the ability to create all that we have? While they worship a pedophile who lived by the sword? My only question is why do you live here when you know your not welcomed?

The biggest terrorists in Canada, is THE GOVERNMENT! >:I  Family Courts robbing people of their ability to live a normal life! >:I  This is ALL DISTRACTION!  Your biggest enemy is those money wasting politicians in office! >:I

I'm imposing an restriction on beards and Muslims. If you have one or are one and are a male then get the fuck on and quit wasting our time.

God doesnt exist so your religion is a barbaric waste of time
