I’m a Cambodian from Oakland, Ca. I was fortunate enough to have good people around me, and lead me to the right path. Now I have a career with the U.S Military living a very easy life.
@@elguapo9702 I was born and raised in the United States. After 2 years, from the post I originally commented I now have a family of my own. I met my beautiful wife who is Puerto Rican, and we are expecting our first child in June this year. Overall my message to everyone here. Always give 100% to anything you do. Surround yourself with people who want you to succeed. Be the bigger person, and don’t stoop down low. Lastly be sure to love people around you, make them feel secured, and comfortable(family).
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.
I have sympathy for these people to a degree, but actions have consequences. It’s also noticeable that details of the crimes these people committed is not supplied.
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.
Monk should be great full for having a lovely wife and a daughter to focus on . Forget about the past and concentrate on the future. Don't dwell on the past . Good luck to you and your lovely family .
It's easy for us to say that. You need someone with a strong mindset to be able to carry on living in a land where you know nothing of. Believe me. I have no one left in my home country and retiring to the place is a very daunting prospect.
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.

13:34 What was the story about you getting deported? "I think I made a mistake. I became a bad boy. Was like a gangster and all that"...all he did was extort money under threat of violence...what does he expect?
Sad, because you had a chance to live again in a great country and you blew it!!! My father came from Cambodia in 1979 and had a nickel in his pocket and he worked every single day with no off day for almost 40 years until he's retired recently. Here in America, the land of opportunity and if you work hard, you're make it.... just don't commit any crime and live humbled and follow the rules just like everyone else!
The takeaway for legal US residents who are not citizens is: apply for citizenship as soon as possible (before getting in trouble with the laws). If these deported folks became citizens, they would still be living in the USA.
The criminals in Australia should be deported to an island to colonize it. They may be able to colonize it into another country. Imagine a country that was founded by deported criminals. That would be insane!
Hollie Moodie Hello, Australia (and America) were both founded by deported criminals. Criminals were deported from Great Britian to Australia and/or America. Many movies/books document this.
True. If they're not citizens and if they commit serious crimes, they should be deported. Citizenship confers both rights and responsibilities and the duty of an elected government is to first and foremost protect the citizens who elected it to power.
Art J Johnson Exactly he acts like he’s from Southeast DC ghetto as hell that’s why he’s not getting any jobs people in foreign countries don’t want that trash

The urban lifestyle is a big influence in these young men. From the "gangsta accent" to the street names. Must be a culture shock to be dropped in a country you know nothing about
I know this is a harsh punishment but I feel like this law should be mandated for new immigrants especially in the US. Like driving, it’s a privilege to drive and to be a citizen should be the same. This keeps people on the right track and try’s hard to not commit any crimes.
It's hard to make a living in Cambodia. But if you have sufficient pension or other independent financial support, Cambodia is a great place to live, in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or Battambang. If you need to keep active, there are many NGOs you can volunteer for.
"Only committed minor crimes" This is the crap that makes the general public angry. Tell the victims that the crimes were "only minor". Any crime is serious. Any crime for a non citizen is grounds for deportation. If they were "good Americans" , they would have obeyed the laws and be grateful for the opportunity to live in the greatest country on earth.
And the left is all spun up over trump kicking them out, as if Trump started it all...Every President has done this.. But because Trump does it they complain.
@@craigslistrro709 As it clearway stated, W. Bush kicked him out. Note that the posting of this video is early 2016. Trump became president in 2017. I do not trust any political party or politicians. Have a great day. ( I am in my 60s and surely more cynical than you. That is the way it goes. Really the only heroes are your family and friends. We all realize that eventually.) Take care. (W. Bush started the program and it has continued.) I know you like Trump. But previous presidents also deserve credit for this particular program. There were deportations under Obama, though probably not as much as you wish. Be happy. Have a great day.
@Maui Caui Even non-native citizen is not going to be deported. The only grounds for it is if they find out you had lied on your citizenship application.
@@Boogie1904 Citizenship confers rights and responsibilities. Non citizens must follow the law of the land. Illegals are just that, illegals and should certainly be deported, especially criminal illegals.
Looking at the tattoos on your body is similar to the MS13 criminal gang of El Salvador in South America. When you lived in the US, you joined the MS13 or Sinaloa Cartel in the US, so the US deported you to Cambodia where you came from.

When he says he bought a house I wonder if he paid in full or that was a down payment? Does anyone know if it was paid in full, how much do homes cost? They gotta be 5k or his family is upper middle class in the USA.
Word of advice. If you’re living in a country that doesn’t recognize you as a legal citizen, it’s best not to commit any crimes whatsoever that could potentially cause you to get deported.
@mrbobbilly Permanent resident is a green card holder and NOT a citizen. You are a legal resident but you can still get kicked out if they want you out. He would still be back home if his parents got their citizenship before he turned 18 or if he applied for it.
1)Be a law abiding citizen in your host country. Don’t be a criminal ANYWHERE. 2)Don’t take things for granted. 3) Understand and appreciate the privilege and opportunity you and your family were given to go to another country to restart & reinvent yourself. 4)Get their citizenship and be a good citizen. 5)If you get deported...you still have an opportunity to reinvent yourself, do well, be a good citizen and live a criminal free life.

Ben L I COMPLETELY agree with you... It’s sad. We are all immigrants as far as I’m concerned. So many “Americans” in America doing bad things but they can’t be deported. I don’t know, this is one of those things that makes for horrible table talk...
I will do my very best to help you guys ASAP and so grateful they got a big brother Monk B . May god bless him with baskets full of fishes and bread to feed the entire village. And may they be cure from all bad things health and wealth .
i asked my 6 year old daughter a tough question just to see what she would say. i asked her, if someone said something to hurt your feelings, should they be put in jail?? she immediately said yes. then i asked her, if mommy said something to hurt your feelings, should she go to jail? and she said with shock, NO!! i had to explain to her that you have the right to say anything you want no matter if it hurts someones feelings because words cannot physically hurt anyone. lol shes a very bright young lady;) its the same thing when trying to correct those who do not understand what rights we have as citizens. if you are a citizen of the united states, the only crime that can strip you of your citizenship is treason. the only way you can be deported is by joining a foreign military, running for office in a foreign country and acquiring citizenship in a foreign country except by marriage. so i dont understand how bush was legally able to deport united states citizens for regular crimes that shouldve landed them in an american prison. then again, seeing all the ignorance in the comment section, perhaps i can understand how he was able to do it.
I’m pretty sure running for office in a foreign country doesn’t make you lose your US citizenship. Here in the UK we have a member of parliament who is a British American dual National called Joy Morrisey.
I have my personal opinions about this situation as I myself are from Laos, my parents immigrated here. He could take advantage of what he has learned in the States and come up real good in Cambodia. His family could invest in him, especially his parents, and purchase land and build a farm. Possibilities are endless with someone with an education.
Asians don't have that mentality, especially Cambodian or Laosian, they have the mentality of communists. Only Caucasians have that brilliant mentality. I am Asian and Asians are very poor in planning and innovations.
Gosh! This is so sad. I’m glad they were both able to turn their situations into something better. It’s nice that their parents will send them money if they need anything. I’m also happy that they haven’t turned into targets for people who want money. It’s easy to become a target when you have connections to someone living in a developed country because these people often think everyone is rich out there.

Unfortunately, this is the fact of life. Some time people take it for granted and they don't know what they have till they lose it. You look to build a better life in other countries but instead you fuck it up. So who is to blame except yourself. Some time you need to learn the hard way in life and this is one of them. The best you get out of this is not to fuck up your life again. I also come from Cambodia myself living the US and work my fuck n ashes off every single day to build a better life.

matador5135 they *where trouble makers, this video makes it very apparent these two individuals with jobs and families are not the children who got arrested years ago... idk what delusion makes you think your still the same person you where then you where 10-20..... we all grow... u should too
Yes, people don't go to prison for a minor crime.
Nope, it could be a unpaid parking ticket.
what is the difference between a felony and a minor crime?
They "ONLY" let you stay here for a few months..... Wow..... you mean these people only let you stay rent-free and cover all of your expenses and help you out for a few months? What terrible people. Are you kidding me?
what you should have said is that these people totally helped me out and have changed my life and opened their doors. just even letting me stay here for one night is very much appreciated they actually let me stay here for several months. I couldn't have done it without them. That's what you should have said dude
For some reason I doubt that dudes first language is English and he did admit without them he would be stuck on the streets.
Oh and u have been homeless have you? A night or a few months is all u need? Huh? Ignorant all mighty highness please don’t waste your time on us Poor people we don’t need lessons to express how we feel about the help we get.
You have no idea ....
Clueless priveliged twat
I think u are little dick man.I bet ur ancestor's arent from the us.
13:34 What was the story about you getting deported?
"I think I made a mistake. I became a bad boy. Was like a gangster and all that"...all he did was extort money under threat of violence...what does he expect?
i can tell you’re annoying
@@k.8253 I don't understand to what you are alluding, please clarify.
Not exiled. Deported. Big difference. Glad they're gone.
Sad, because you had a chance to live again in a great country and you blew it!!! My father came from Cambodia in 1979 and had a nickel in his pocket and he worked every single day with no off day for almost 40 years until he's retired recently. Here in America, the land of opportunity and if you work hard, you're make it.... just don't commit any crime and live humbled and follow the rules just like everyone else!
The takeaway for legal US residents who are not citizens is: apply for citizenship as soon as possible (before getting in trouble with the laws). If these deported folks became citizens, they would still be living in the USA.
They look Cambodian but sound and talk as American as they do. Hope they can come to terms with their situation.
Your sentence have left me speechless
Really?
What the other millions american descendent of europe??? 😫
If you commit crimes then I'm all for deporting, just wish Australia would deport criminals more often
Oma opa ironic, as Australia began as a country of criminals deported from Britain.
The criminals in Australia should be deported to an island to colonize it. They may be able to colonize it into another country. Imagine a country that was founded by deported criminals. That would be insane!
Hollie Moodie Hello, Australia (and America) were both founded by deported criminals. Criminals were deported from Great Britian to Australia and/or America. Many movies/books document this.
True. If they're not citizens and if they commit serious crimes, they should be deported. Citizenship confers both rights and responsibilities and the duty of an elected government is to first and foremost protect the citizens who elected it to power.

Nah Bronx. Long Beach, or Lowell Mass probably, as these are home to the Cambodians that fled the Khmer Rouge.

I know this is a harsh punishment but I feel like this law should be mandated for new immigrants especially in the US. Like driving, it’s a privilege to drive and to be a citizen should be the same. This keeps people on the right track and try’s hard to not commit any crimes.
I have a great idea. How about you don't become a criminal and then you can stay in the US. What a crazy thought!
Vention MGTOW ...you are a legend. So happy to come across your comment...MGTOW forever
It's hard to make a living in Cambodia. But if you have sufficient pension or other independent financial support, Cambodia is a great place to live, in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or Battambang.
If you need to keep active, there are many NGOs you can volunteer for.
I arrive Phnom Penh on 2 September. If I like I will definitely stay.
"Only committed minor crimes" This is the crap that makes the general public angry. Tell the victims that the crimes were "only minor". Any crime is serious. Any crime for a non citizen is grounds for deportation. If they were "good Americans" , they would have obeyed the laws and be grateful for the opportunity to live in the greatest country on earth.
And the left is all spun up over trump kicking them out, as if Trump started it all...Every President has done this.. But because Trump does it they complain.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 America First!
@@craigslistrro709 As it clearway stated, W. Bush kicked him out. Note that the posting of this video is early 2016. Trump became president in 2017. I do not trust any political party or politicians. Have a great day. ( I am in my 60s and surely more cynical than you. That is the way it goes. Really the only heroes are your family and friends. We all realize that eventually.) Take care. (W. Bush started the program and it has continued.) I know you like Trump. But previous presidents also deserve credit for this particular program. There were deportations under Obama, though probably not as much as you wish. Be happy. Have a great day.
@Maui Caui Well said.
@Maui Caui Even non-native citizen is not going to be deported. The only grounds for it is if they find out you had lied on your citizenship application.
4 of my friends killed themselves behind being the threat of being deported to Cambodia.
what did they do to get said warning or action against them
so he got deported. USA should do this with many bums
@@Boogie1904 Citizenship confers rights and responsibilities. Non citizens must follow the law of the land. Illegals are just that, illegals and should certainly be deported, especially criminal illegals.
Looking at the tattoos on your body is similar to the MS13 criminal gang of El Salvador in South America. When you lived in the US, you joined the MS13 or Sinaloa Cartel in the US, so the US deported you to Cambodia where you came from.
Are people supposed to feel sorry for these criminals?
And who ask you to feel sorry for us?
+1Ronin 187 No one did. You need to work on your reading and comprehension skills.
J Calhoun it's sad that people got low blows. I bet u gets no ass lol
LOL... look at videos pleading for you guys' return to the U.S. That's not just asking but begging for pity.
Nah, not supposed to feel sorry. Just entertained.
That gangster dude was so confused at the plot twist that unfolded, getting sent to Cambodia, that he went straight, homie was ready to die for the life but not be a farmer
feel sorry for their parents who wanted their kid to have a better life but the kid dnt understand . So I think they deserve it now they know what their parents would have gone through to give these guys for a better life .
"Robbery" and "selling drugs" are not "minor crimes", Mr. Reporter.
Who’s watching this in 2019 and Trump is the president..
Any update on this?
Lol Dude --- update--- that's what i wanna know too
Thank you brother's!! This helps me keep content in my life.😎
Dude, that guy should've been in the hospital like a month ago
Is there a program like this in laos?????? I'm look for my friend who got red flaged.....
I was just listening to the video in the background and I swear it was 2 disadvantaged black men that somehow got returned accidentally to Cambodia...the gangsta monk walk....that's what made me look and see they were Asian!
Education wasn’t a priority for many Khmer refugees.
I was born a white boy in the U.S.A. from my earliest memories, I was taught that being an American citizen is a privilege. I am also a heroin addict (clean for years) I felt the world owed me something, it doesn't. If you are given an opportunity and you exploit the shit out of it, you might just get sent back where you came from. I hope you guys figure it out, it is in your hands.
Johnny Holmes -
We don't know one another, nevertheless after reading your post I feel happy for you. I am sure the battle of addiction, amongst whatever else you were enduring must have been horrendous, but you did It! It speaks volumes of good and strength about your character!
@@marystar6021 thank you, I love the praise, lol. But really, people need to learn, unfortunately some need to learn faster than others, (in cases like these) But when you are handed the opportunity of a lifetime and beyond, seize it. Your children and their children will benefit.
Life is going to be rough for a bit, but the payoff is unimaginable.
The only difference is you weren't exiled away from your family and only life you've known to learn your lesson.
Did he have to do the whole interview shirtless?
its probably really hot, no AC
How could he show off his gang tattoo with his shirt on?
buy him some and send them
They are Cambodian born that had the chance to make a success in America instead they broke the law and were deported back home whats the big deal?
The American government Should help these guys out give them a second chance
Mirza Khan ..no second chance..smarty pants 🤣😂😎
Hell no
I'm glad they helping them, hopelly they soon get on they're feet.
Monk should grow up and forget about Big I am, he’s got a good wife and kid . Man up and paint that house DIY you know. All the best though
When he says he bought a house I wonder if he paid in full or that was a down payment? Does anyone know if it was paid in full, how much do homes cost? They gotta be 5k or his family is upper middle class in the USA.
It's all bs bro u better off taking 70k buy land and build a house
Is that monk dude from long beach CA because you can clearly tell from his slanguage accent lol
this is mentally devastating to leave your old life behind.
What life would that be? I'll trade with someone whose been forced out of the USA. They can have my citizenship if they want.
Wow America really dropped the ball on letting these respectable gentleman go.
"respectable gentleman" my ass. these scumbags are criminals, doesn't matter if it's misdemeanor or felony, you break the law you gotta go.
Lol
tootsie|troll® you are so slow, he was being sarcastic
@@ninja.saywhat agreed.
Word of advice. If you’re living in a country that doesn’t recognize you as a legal citizen, it’s best not to commit any crimes whatsoever that could potentially cause you to get deported.
I had no idea this was happening. And during the Clinton & Obama administration as well as Bush's? So why is everyone so hard on President Trump?
Monk B said he was a resident alien - that means he was born outside the US - most likely Cambodia.
@mrbobbilly Permanent resident is a green card holder and NOT a citizen. You are a legal resident but you can still get kicked out if they want you out. He would still be back home if his parents got their citizenship before he turned 18 or if he applied for it.
cause he is a white straight male with a religion
@mrbobbilly he never deported anyone on that ban thats a lie he stopped immigration from those countries which have high terrorist ties
1)Be a law abiding citizen in your host country. Don’t be a criminal ANYWHERE.
2)Don’t take things for granted.
3) Understand and appreciate the privilege and opportunity you and your family were given to go to another country to restart & reinvent yourself.
4)Get their citizenship and be a good citizen.
5)If you get deported...you still have an opportunity to reinvent yourself, do well, be a good citizen and live a criminal free life.
The biggest criminals wear suits and ties, not tattoos
When i read these comments it really disappoints me to see that there is no humanity or compassion out there.
It's as if smug self-righteousness, and the instant denouncement or dehumanisation of anyone who's considered to be 'inferior', has become fashionable these days...
Ben L I COMPLETELY agree with you... It’s sad. We are all immigrants as far as I’m concerned. So many “Americans” in America doing bad things but they can’t be deported. I don’t know, this is one of those things that makes for horrible table talk...
You are pretty good in English. You can be a teacher and teach your people there and they can learn how speak good English there.
Cambodia ain’t too bad of a place these days! I can’t imagine they would want to come back after having a lovely wife and family
I will do my very best to help you guys ASAP and so grateful they got a big brother Monk B . May god bless him with baskets full of fishes and bread to feed the entire village. And may they be cure from all bad things health and wealth .
Karma’s a bitch! You don’t listen to your parents, you’re friends your teacher’s.
i asked my 6 year old daughter a tough question just to see what she would say. i asked her, if someone said something to hurt your feelings, should they be put in jail?? she immediately said yes. then i asked her, if mommy said something to hurt your feelings, should she go to jail? and she said with shock, NO!! i had to explain to her that you have the right to say anything you want no matter if it hurts someones feelings because words cannot physically hurt anyone. lol shes a very bright young lady;) its the same thing when trying to correct those who do not understand what rights we have as citizens. if you are a citizen of the united states, the only crime that can strip you of your citizenship is treason. the only way you can be deported is by joining a foreign military, running for office in a foreign country and acquiring citizenship in a foreign country except by marriage. so i dont understand how bush was legally able to deport united states citizens for regular crimes that shouldve landed them in an american prison. then again, seeing all the ignorance in the comment section, perhaps i can understand how he was able to do it.
She's smart like mom :)
I’m pretty sure running for office in a foreign country doesn’t make you lose your US citizenship. Here in the UK we have a member of parliament who is a British American dual National called Joy Morrisey.
I have my personal opinions about this situation as I myself are from Laos, my parents immigrated here. He could take advantage of what he has learned in the States and come up real good in Cambodia. His family could invest in him, especially his parents, and purchase land and build a farm. Possibilities are endless with someone with an education.
You think these gangsta want to work on a farm? Not surprise if they are back doing the same crime.
Asians don't have that mentality, especially Cambodian or Laosian, they have the mentality of communists.
Only Caucasians have that brilliant mentality. I am Asian and Asians are very poor in planning and innovations.
Gosh! This is so sad. I’m glad they were both able to turn their situations into something better. It’s nice that their parents will send them money if they need anything. I’m also happy that they haven’t turned into targets for people who want money. It’s easy to become a target when you have connections to someone living in a developed country because these people often think everyone is rich out there.
You wouldn't say the same thing if one of them rob or threaten you. They got deported for a reason.
My cousins friend was sent back Bc he got arrested too many times . It still happens today
Just bc it deported doesn't mean u have to stay in ur home country right? If I was in his shoes I would move.
When criminals try playng the Victim, like they got this because they were good & exemplary citizens
Exactly. These are criminals. That first deportee committed crimes and served prison time both in America and later on in Cambodia. He is not a good person.

Not only in America, in every country if you break their law while being on Permanent Residency, they can cancel that permit and deport him. That's the universal rule, not Trump's rule.
Well done America, I wish England would follow suit!
Lol England ain't shit

Depends which part of LA you grew up in or any other city for that matter. Even with in those particular areas of those cities there is still a huge difference of accent, culture depending on ones exposure, parenting and schooling if any proper schooling at all>
You don't have to watch Gangster movies if Gangster is outside your front door and on your street.

judith chen Forgiveness does not always alleviate the consequences of our sins/crimes.

I wish we could see their rap sheet.
I wish them all well! people make mistakes & some learn and grow from their mistakes but its not anyone's place to look down on them for a past they can't change
Unfortunately, this is the fact of life. Some time people take it for granted and they don't know what they have till they lose it.
You look to build a better life in other countries but instead you fuck it up. So who is to blame except yourself. Some time you need to learn the hard way in life and this is one of them. The best you get out of this is not to fuck up your life again.
I also come from Cambodia myself living the US and work my fuck n ashes off every single day to build a better life.
It is sad to see those young Cambodian don't appreciate and take the opportunity in front of them.
