    When their parents fled Pol Pot s killing fields, they were granted safe haven in America. But years later, 196 all-American youths are being deported back to Cambodia after being convicted of crimes.
    In 2002 President Bush began deporting convicted criminals and the Cambodian Government reluctantly agreed to accept them. "Once you've committed a crime, you are done," tells Monk B. Like the other deportees, he was a permanent resident of the US but hadn't become a citizen. Almost 2 years after being released from prison, Monk B got a phone call. "They said 'Pack your bags.' I said 'Where am I going?' Home."
    But home meant Cambodia. After originally struggling to adapt to his new life, he now works in Korsnag, a harm reduction program for drug addicts in Phnom Penh. "I tell them I used to be a criminal too so that's why I can work here. I understand you." But not everyone is as lucky as Monk B and some can 't cope with their new surroundings. With President Bush now gone, there are hopes that his successor will stop the deportations. "Obama, act quick, man! Because there are a lot of lives that you can save."

    As an American citizen I was shocked at the work ethic of my husband who immigrated from Japan. I had so much respect for him. He loved this country and never took anything for granted. Raised 3 daughters who graduated college with advanced degrees. One engineer, one Psychologist and one financial advisor. That's giving back to society. In early years he went through bad financial times but never was tempted to commit a crime. Instead he worked 3 jobs. His grandkids have also graduated college. One mechanical engineer, one to become a nurse anesthetist. Staying out of trouble and hard work can pay off.

    This video scared me into getting my US Citizenship. I never knew about these laws on residency, and deportation until recently. Do not take your residency for granted! Getting over here to the USA was the difficult part. Use this opportunity to educate yourself, and assimilate. Being a US resident already, you have a strait path to Citizenship, unlike Illegal immigrants in the news of late. There are only a handful of Countries where you can start off with nothing and still succeed. I speak from experience as a Cambodian Refugee that came to the US in the 80's. It takes hard work and constant education on improving yourself, but it can be done. Good luck and don't do stupid things like joining a gang and committing crimes.

      What you say is true, yet still not easily done depending on where you/your family end up in the States. Younger people are highly influenceable and when you see your peers running amok on the streets it becomes normalized and once set on the wrong path it can be very much a domino effect. Immigrant parents can have the best intentions in the world for their kids (most do) but the majority of them work all day to provide and therefore aren't able to supervise their kids. I'm sure for the majority deported whatever crimes they committed occurred in their teens-early 20s. Deportation of Cambodian residents spiked during the Trump admin too. Luckily things will cool off now for at least 4 years.

    Green card holders are subject to deportation if you commit a felony in the United States. First thing was not to commit a crime. 2nd was get your citizenship. They blew their chance, hard lesson to learn. I immigrated about 20 years ago from Asia, work hard and stayed out of trouble. Got my citizenship in 5 years. Brought my wife and foreign born kid in. My son is 25 and doing fine. All my three boys were honor roll and no trouble. Environment and guidance helps a lot to lead them on the straight path.

      Cambodia is quite nice as a foreigner, but also having the ability to go back to the west anytime to see family and generate more dollars is something these guys don't have. Thousands of Australian Cambodians have moved their to run businesses and connect with a culture that they never grew up with or was absent from since late 70s or early 80s. Cambodia is booming and not only are there Ethnic Cambodian Australians there but Australians of other ethnicity's too, in their thousands. Cambodia is an opportunity but not necessarily for those deported as in they may not have the skills needed to survive and thrive. Funny, because allot of them were actually born in Thailand>
