  • Cambodia’s 'Khmericans' -- ex-convicts deported from the US back to their ancestral homeland -- stand out from the crowd with American accents and tattoos. But for many of them, it's a struggle to adjust to life in a country they hardly know.

    I DO NOT FEEL BAD FOR THEM AT ALL. I am Cambodian myself. I was born during the Khmer Rouge. I went many days without food and I saw many deaths at a very young age. By the time I was 10 years old, I saw at least 10 deaths in front of me.
    I came to America 30 years ago. I did not speak English. My family had no money. We had NOTHING. I lived in the ghetto, but I chose NOT to do drugs, commit crimes or join any gangs. Now I am now an Engineer. It’s all about choices. I went through the same struggles as these fools but I made something out of my situation.

      damn671 it's not about the crimes that were committed. It's about USA's failed judicial system and criminal system.
      It's about USA creating a color revolution in Cambodia which set off the killing fields that had most of our friends and relatives killed by the Khmer rouge... And then DEPORTING Back to the same fuckers that killed our families in the first place.
      To me it's about BETRAYAL! USA Betrayed the loyal Khmer people who chose sides with the USA before the killing fields, before pol pot.
      How the fuck USA illegally bomb, kill 500,000 innocent Khmer people, caused Khmer rouge to form, kill my family then try to deport back to the genocidal regime that killed our family in the first place? Think about that...
      Fuck USA!

    No excuses. I’m an orphan that was raised by my aunts after coming to the US in 1980. Life was tough. I used to live in Long Beach. Even though we were poor, I didn’t robbed or try to get rich quick.These guys acting like it’s cool to be gangsters. Be a man and be somebody. God gave you the greatest this on this earth and you fail to use it properly. Read and educate yourself. Don’t use the killing field as an excuse. Use your mind to better yourself and those around you.

    Then you have guys like this who've made bad choices/decisions that have cost them dearly.
    We help in the refugee community & show them videos/stories like this to help deter them from having this happen.

      If U.S never illegally pulled Cambodia into an illegal War (no decoration of War), we would've lived great calling it "Cambodian Dream" on our forefathers land (like American Dream) without paying taxes while working like a good Americans slaves sheeple. Nor do we have to face racism like every races do in America. If U.S never illegal bomb Cambodia during Ho Minh Trail in 1965, Cambodia would've surpassed Thailand by 1990. I think Cambodian was second or 3rd Asian who won U.S Oscar grammy..

    Am Cambodian and I am lil older than most of these guys. I even know some of them. Am I sad for their deportation yes. But do I feel bad for them no. I had it worst than these clowns growing up in Chicago and having to go Tru gang fights and getting bullies from black and Hispanic people's at school and rough neighborhood. I fought for myself and even helped my homies for their stupidity. Most fights are about colors. Bloods and crips. Most troubles are from helping my friends. I was lucky and smart Enough to know what's right and wrong thanks to my father teaching. I became a u.s citizen. Yes I been to jail for gang fights plenty of time and I came out with a misdemeanor nothing major I always do the right thing. I had a choice I became wiser as I got older. I don't owe anything to anyone in the gang community I walked my head's up high because I don't Rob or steal or act tough. I only fight those who act tough. I only want to fight the so call gangster. I don't fight my own ppl. So getting back to my point is we all have a choice. These guys chose a choice at a moment. And that one moment got them deported. Choose your moment wisely to all the young ones whose watching this video. Nobody is tougher than anyone. Just be humble and help ppl. Loves your own ppl and learn to love one another

    I am from El Salvador and a few decades ago the USA started deporting ms gang members back to El Salvador which had horrible results. Ms gang is like a cancer now it started out in Los Angeles and spread out all around the world. My advice to native Cambodians would be. Be very cautious with this people and please learn from us Salvadorans so you don’t make the same mistakes that we made. If you see them close to your schools.. put them in jail because most probably they are going after your kids to joint their gangs.

    It goes back to how they were raised by their parents. My brother and I come to USA 1980, we lived in a very neighborhood, because that was what my parents could afford. Crimes was all around us, we have been harassed but my parents told us to just walked away. To make sure do the right things work hard in school, get good education. And we did, both my brother and I are college graduates. Have good jobs. These guys have the same opportunity, but choose otherwise . Don’t feel sorry for them at all. And look at them, they still acting like gangsters. Drinking smoking , and do nothing productive. LOOSERS will always be LOOSERS, sorry… I’m glad they are not in US anymore, we don’t have to feed them with our tax money.

      Why would you say that? Have some compassion. I also grew up in bad areas and some of my friends were gone (dead); we had a tight knit family and relatives but the outside was so much more. Even though I followed what my parents wanted (for the most part) I understood how easy it was to get sidetracked into the life. I remembered myself in my teens and into the 20s looking out for my friends as they did for me. Whether it was about money, girls, recognition, you cannot really blame anyone for that as it just happens and we learn from it. We were young. Some never get to learn from it (RIP). I ended up joining the military which helped me a bit but still, in the hood it's not just Cambodian kids, it's everyone trying to understand life. Just because you found a way and good for you, doesn't mean that everyone had the same chance, choice, family, education, circumstances as you. So please stop comparing yourself to someone else's struggles. I made it, but I also remembered how much of a tight rope it was just to be here now. If you're living a great life then good for you, but please don't look down on others because they messed up while they were young or just trying to be a part of something. Just know that these folks on this video would probably have done different if they did what they knew now. God bless those that didn't get allowed a chance to change

    She got wrong dream about America, it took her more than 2 years to process the documents work from Thailand refugees camps to Philippine then to America. She rather raise her two daughters in Cambodia than in Los Angeles California where they were full gangsters.
