Later, all the Europeans here complained about the Asians and Hispanics. Some Asians and Hispanics have been here so long that they now complain about others coming over, too.
If I'm not mistaken, Arabs are the new ones to look down on. But give it time. By 2050, the Arabs will be fine, and we can all complain about the Aboriginal Australians coming over.

Firstly, the person has to gain Canadian Immigration resident status, and their having been an illegal in the USA will NOT be in their favour. Secondly, the USA is under no obligation to allow entry to someone who was previously illegal in the USA, regardless of their Immigration status in Canada.
