'You're from Canada, eh?': Meeting with 'off-duty ICE officer' at a pet store leads to Toronto man's self-deportation

Kind of hard to feel sympathy or empathy. I'm responsible for all my documentation and I yalltailught my kids to do the same. The things not taught in schools but should be as it's practically a necessity to keep affairs in order, not to mention legal.... Same with losing your I.D. locally, you don't wait to get it replaced you deal with it as fast as possible knowing one day, for any reason, it may be requested of you.

Whenever I have travelled, I often encounter foreigners in other places. The conversation often involves visa length, making sure that one gets out of the country within 30 days/6 months/whatever. Every one I have come across is diligent and knows there are consequences for overstaying a visa and no one I have met would ever contemplate working in a foreign country without authorization. Not sure why this guy would expect the USA to have different rules or standards on immigration visas. Looking after a housecat does not give one the right to overstay a visa.

Interesting how the Left lacks empathy towards their fellow citizens who've been displaced from housing in favour of illegals. Illegals are often given social housing over law abiding citizens who've effectively become marginalized in their own communities. The media doesn't cover such stories and always exclusively focused on the plight of illegals. In America and Canada there are over 30,000 homeless military veterans and countless senior citizens who need housing. All they do is write stories about illegals who flouted due process and displaced our citizens from housing - citizens who sacrificed their mental well being for the security of our nation....instead we displace them with people from regions that hold nothing but contempt for our citizens and nation.edited

0. You don't just "not get round" to renewing a visa.

1. What kind of "papers" did the ICE agent want to see? Passport?

2. What kind of work visa did he have? He seems relatively unskilled.

3. What did he do after his work visa expired - working? illegally??

These basic facts ought to have been laid out clearly.

Many Canadians and people of other nationalities go to great lengths to be in the US legally. Our sympathies and concerns should be with them. Thanks to lawless Democrats, they've ruined the US for everybody.

When listening to so many horriffic stories of ICE enforcement, this is one of the better more professional ones.

Cortez was in the wrong and should have addressed it earlier.

The ICE agent was pretty understanding to the situation and respectful.
