Re: An American lady plans to live with her deported husband in Cambodia
This is very sad story; family are breaking apart because of the past crime that he served time already. We are talking about the person paid for his crime yet he continues to be punished after he served his time. The sad part, children are the one who is paying the price. None of us can choose the place to be borned. People probably wanted to open their mouth, well if he can't do the time don't committ crime. It is easy to say. Don't you think Americans commit crime too? Why only punish the Cambodian refugees? You know why they were refugee? America should bare some responsibility of the secret bombing in Cambodia which created the monster Pol Pot regime which led to killings of 2 millions Cambodian. The anger from American bombing, and endorsed by King Sihanouk, KR rosed from 7,000 troops to over 70,000 troops due to US bombing. American cut supplies to the Lon Nol regime which allowed KR to take over the country. How did Lon Nol came to power in the first place? The American again, it backed Lon Nol on a coupe against Sihanouk. The immigration policies torn family apart. Cambodian refugees were systematically placed in the law income, gangs and drug infested neighborhood when they arrived in America. Cambodian children fought their way to school and they usually ganged up as group to protect themselve from being beaten by American kids; it left them with very little choice. Many brought knife to school to protect themselve and were expelled from school. Despite all of the issues, many Cambodian children made through college were able to get good job. However, about 50 percent felt into street life. Girls were pregant when they were teenager, they have to quit school to support their children. As you can witness today Cambodian gansters were arrived from the oppression of American street life. At first, they joined gangs for protection which led to drug and othe illegal activities. Many of them will never return to live normal life. All they know are street life. For those that change their life around, raise family but the law continue to drag them out from their family and placed them into the land that they dont know anything about the culture or language. In 2002 Cambodian government signed repatriation agreement with United States to accept Cambodian deportees. Currently there over 2000 deportees in the waiting list to be deported. Imagine, Cambodia lack of jobs already. How will they survive? Will Cambodia turn into the land where criminal being dumped there without any type of support for them to reenter into Cambodia society. What will happen next? Only time will tell. Deportation law passed in 1996, however it is retroative. If you committed crime when your were young prior to 1996, you are subject to deportation after your served your time. On contra, Vietnam government signed the agreement with United States in January 22nd, 2008. However, Vietnam only accepts individual that came to United States on or after July 12th, 1995. This is the key factor that Vietnam government did serious study before it sign the agreement to take deportees. As you are well aware, many people came on or after 1995 mostly immigrant and less likely to get into trouble with the law. Many of them were here for the main purpose is business. People that came to the United States between1979 to 1995 are refugees. Many of them were borned along the Thai border in refugee camp. Most of them get into trouble when they were young. There are more shocking immigration policies recently expanded the scope of deportation crime which will efect many Cambodian and I expected more number to be deport for minor crime such as shop lifting, drunk driving, writing bad check etc.
As I started to write more comment and I couldn't help but to question Cambodian government why in the hell they signed the agreement with the United States. Is it money? If it is not money why would you endorse such policy that weaken the Cambodian American community abroad. Vietnamese American are strong in the United States; some already became the Mayor, state representative and congressman. Have you ever wonder why? There are many Vietnamese American and they now can vote and became political candidate in the United States. Although, Cambodia American started to participate in American politic but there is no comparision to the Vietnamese population. The more people being deported the weaker the Cambodian American community will become. The sad part, it doesn't deported one person as you can see in this story. The wife and children planned to move back to Cambodia. You have 4 peoples moving back to Cambodia. Imagine you have thousands of deportees and still counting because the new law most likely will deport individual with less violence crime such as shop lifting, wrote bad check, drunk driving etc. The other sad part, there is no program to help deportees reenter into Cambodian society such as job trainings, housing needs etc. Many of them most likely ended up back on the street of Phnom Penh or committed suicidal which happened already. What happen if Cambodia government cancel the MOU signed with America? I wonder what happen if Cambodia government doesn't issue visa for travel document? What happen if Cambodian government made revision to the MOU so that it is similar to Vietnam government? There are many question that is unanswered. The Cambodian embassy can only stated, Cambodian American needed to lobby with the American government. Cambodian government cannot do anything. Cambodian government only did what was told by American government. I wonder if it is BS answered? President O'bama needed to deport 400,000 deportees by year 2010. I am not sure if that number required falling behind that is why we seen ICE prayed on Cambodian American community. People are running scare; some afraid to sleep at home. It is like KR regime, if you hear the door knock 5AM; you run to the back door. Sometime, they get you while you were sleeping.

While corrupted cambodians buy their way to the US. There's a guy who owns a "pretty nail" franchise in clerkesville, indiana who bought his green card from somene who won the greencard lottery for 110000 us dollars in 2004, they immigrated to the us in 2005 under the assumed name..
He's the guy who entertained all those fake american spouses in sihanoukville during the marriage scam in louisville, kentucky.
he goes back to cambodia to do his shady deals every year.
The U.S. government is so quick to deport Cambodian refugees who are in the U.S. LEGALLY and have already done time for the crimes they commited in the past, yet they DO NOT deport illegal Mexicans just because the Mexicans pull the race card saying they're being deported simply out of discrimination... Completely unfair. Not trying to be racist towards Hispanics, but all they have to do to stay in America if they're illegal is protest in the streets until the White American government gets sick of it and let them stay. Easy win for them. They flip the script to where they make it seem the U.S. is being unconstitutional and prejudice towards them when in reality, they broke the law by illegally entering this country.
There's actual legitimacy in our argument for having the right to stay here because we came legally as refugees! Unfortunately, within our Cambodian community, we don't have that many people to rally and do the same to the point where it's a significant impact. We, as proud Khmers, need to do something about this contradictive injustice. All the way to the point where the U.S. government acknowledges our voice. If America wants to get rid of people, at least get rid of people who never were suppose to belong here in the first place. Come on, now!
Over twenty years I've seen many Mexican people but right now it all over the U.S. All the Chinese and Vietcong restaurant they've the Mexican people working for them, all of them came to the U.S illegal most of them have a fakes ID and they took all the jobs that why right now it very hard to find a job not like in the 80, they have alot of jobs to works.
don't blame the U.S.A, blame on self.
