Don’t give up hopes on your father. There are a few Cambodians from California that won their case and returned to the US. You may have to do some research and get a hold of those and find out more about it. You are his only hope. Fight for his freedom. Good luck and bless you and your family.
Cambodia is not a punishment. It's another door of opportunity. My sympathy goes to the daughter. No one should have to go through such hardship and heartache.
It’s not even about that. This is tearing families apart. It’s mentally screwing people up. Cambodians are one of the most assimilated Asians in America. A lot don’t even speak their mother tongue. Goes to show how humble and resilient Cambodians are.
Not necessarily. The country is very corrupt so opportunity is limited. Not saying they can't but it's hard with no resources. They basically drop you off and say bye. And if the Cambodian immigration process you and you have something that is of value, they take it.
Mya Johnson Oh yes it is. Especially with these deportees. They are discriminated against. It’s hard to get a job because they don’t speak a lick of their language. Hell, they’d never set foot on Cambodian soil before. Believe it or not, it’s a culture shock to them.
@@zeroyou3060 that's not true, most do speak the Cambodian language, maybe somewhat limited to a full vocabulary but they do speak it. Living in Cambodia with a limited vocabulary would not take very long to become fluent. You're talking about kids who are not US citizens with parents that speak very limited english. Yes they are discriminated against cause Cambodians see them as throwing away the golden ticket. But there are some that have gone there and become productive citizens. There are plenty of documentaries showcasing returnees that have thrived and yes, most that have squandered an opportunity.
To all Khmer people: become a citizen ASAP and be a good ambassador for Khmer people. Please don’t get yourselves in trouble with the law. Our Buddhist culture taught us that.
It can be something as simple as a minor traffic ticket. Like making a wrong turn, speeding, running a red light on accident, accidentally going down a one way street at night because you didn't see the one way sign. It's just sad that the US deports people for minor traffic violations like that, it's not even a criminal offense it's a minor traffic violation. It's completely understandable if the person committed a major crime like drug dealing, murder, gang involvement etc and gets deported, but for minor traffic violations is just beyond me.
Your culture also created the khmer rouge. Your culture of buddhism might be peaceful but only education and economic opportunities for your youth will give you guys the stability you guys need. It sucks cause you go to Minnesota and the Cambodians there are very well off with better opportunities and then you go to long beach and they are thuggin like they dont care.
Paul Tran That is a stupid statement. Khmer Rouge (genocidal maniac) is not a culture. It’s a regime. Culture is what your ancestors brought forth. Culture is an identity of that said country and its people. Not something you create. As far as California go; nothing good came out of it. It’s a gang riddance states and that goes for all Asians. Not just for Cambodians.
I was born in Colombia and found I.N.S. coming to see me when I got hemmed up. I was fortunate because my parents had got me citizenship when I was in 4th or 5th grade. People that are so far removed from their countries (when they have lived the majority of their lives American) ; this should not happen to them. Only sex crimes and heinous violent crimes and acts of wanton violence should be subjected. Immigration needs to do a non-bias individual review of each case, to not do so is unAmerican. If this person then commits another felony they should be deported permanently. This lobby needs to be fought for, but for the next four years we have a dead weight president in Biden.
As an immigrant one has to be extra careful that you don’t violate any laws or the consequences can be severe. For a lot of deportees regret comes last. They think they are invincible until it’s too late.
Many who came to US made the most of it and received good education. These people as children received chance of lifetime and they chose to commit crime and do unlawful things. Even though the law seems tough it's there for a reason. I feel bad for the innocent victims like the spouses or the kids and other family members.
If you don't commit any crimes you're won't be deported its as simple. And I am Cambodian 🇰🇭 American living in America 🇺🇸 happily for over 35 years now. These people took freedom for granted. Sorry but not sorry.
This what happen when you're so overproud to foreign country, when you got kicked out you start realize, you not part of them and only homecountry want accept you.

@@crew that's because they threw away their history and culture and adopted gang banging. They are where they are because of their own decisions.
The worst part is when a person has no family and get send back danm
What crime did he commit? What about his victims?

Outdoors&Cars Not true. Only a felony. Show me a case with just a traffic citation that was deportable.

I'm guessing Colombia doesn't even have an immigration program... *rolls eyes*
Forget America. Cambodia is your home. Accept your faith and start working hard to make the best out of it.
Most deportees are refugee babies. So, they are a little confused and wild unlike those who were born in Cambodia or Khmer American born.
Think of yourself as tourist. This way you'll get to know the country.

Homeland time is now
Dont give up hope. AB got back to states 2 years ago. He did an interview with Uso ron
Well girl, you better save your money and send it to him because he ain’t coming home to America.

Thats what happens when you break the law. You should be grateful living in a country that provides you opportunity to prosper.
Blame others not yourself. It's not your fault. Try to work at call center.
If you don't commit any crimes you're won't be deported its as simple. And I am Cambodian 🇰🇭 American living in America 🇺🇸 happily for over 35 years now. These people took freedom for granted. Sorry but not sorry.
Reunite with him in Cambodia

Deported me
