After serving 7 years as a United States Marine (Im American). I lived & worked in Niagara Falls for 15 years, plus 5 years in Toronto (undocumented American). Got kicked out over a traffic ticket plus paperwork was a bit outdated. Spent 10 years in California and just finally got back to canada where my 4 kids & 8 grandkids live. California was great but I missed my family so much. Glad to finally be back. My wife is a native (Cree Nation) from Canada. We got hitched in '23 and started new paperwork. We support your journey. One door closes to open another. If u need help from "good" ppl 🏍, stop by Crown Dry Cleaner. Ask for Escobar. Tell him his big brother sent u and he has connection w the Mayor and business owners if you need a solid job. But 1st, go enjoy Amsterdam

I hardly ever watch a video to the end. I wanted to hear every bit of your story. You did an awesome job telling your story. I'm a US citizen. My daughter and her family are moving to Canada. I'm very sorry to hear how you were treated. I wish you very good luck in the future.

I'm so very sorry 🥺 And I'm sorry there are people who seem to find their only joy in others' pain and loss. Those people are small and insignificant - but Canada is huge and beautiful. Thank you for including us on your journey.

They are being paid more than $150.00 a day per person so they’re going to keep you there as long as they can.<br>This needs to stop!
