Deporting the Problem - Cambodia

[@ainokeachancem6089]

They pissed on and crapped on ALL the trials, sacrifices, risks, and hard work their parents did to provide an opportunity for them.

[@easiadr7130]

A friend of mine got caught up in the drug trade in the states, went to prison and served his time, then got deported to the Philippines. He now actually has a better life there with a wife and 3 home-based businesses.

[@MeasSambath]

This is a wake-up call for all Khmers who have a chance to live in the U. S., to make sure you have citizenship and education. There are no excuses. Cambodian associations and non-for-profit organizations are everywhere. They can assist; they can guide. I don't care what poverty-stricken community you live in, there is a way out. I am living proof of it. The United States' government is at fault, your community is at fault, so are you and your parents. Take responsibility.

[@smam311]

I'm Khmer and for these gang-bangers to use ignorance as their excuse is unacceptable and embarrassing to our people. I'm sick and tired of people using poverty as a cop-out. You make your bed, so now you have to sleep in it. I guess 4 Aces doesn't always win.

[@jarule275]

Exactly. Excuses

[@bigfan2452]

They have no excuses whatsoever, committing crimes is horrible and has consequences. Do the crime, pay the consequences. I feel zero sympathy towards them.

[@connynielson8686]

It's like pol pot said, they had decadent genetics lol

[@Itried20takennames]

I would generally agree, but here…the “bed” you have to lie in varies hugely by whether your parents had their act together and got your citizenship paperwork done or not. That doesn’t seem just that one person gets 2 years, and another 2-years plus exile for life, for the same crime….based on if their parents did the right paperwork years earlier. And there should be exceptions…one case was a 40-year-old man who was adopted as a toddler from Korea,then those parents didn’t want him, then sent to another adoptive home where the “parents” were later convicted of many counts of child abuse. His crime was….breaking into the foster parents house as a teen (he had runaway previously) to retrieve the few items he brought from Korea, a Bible and his toddler clothes. He was deported to Korea, and I believe….didn’t have a good outcome.

[@chitoon100]

don't blame the USA....they thru every thing we tried to give them....and we the People are tired of them....my grandparents came from Ireland they went out got a job and did what they had to to be good people....

[@jarule275]

You're right. If you didn't wanna get thrown out don't sell drugs. These clowns actually said "I didn't know I needed a green card". Wtf??? Dumb.

[@Kong4]

Make Cambodia great again 🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭

[@mojdehks9704]

While I appreciate what the pirate does, I dont think he understands that the US has no responsibility. They were taken on as refugees when there was danger, now there is no danger so they dont get special consideration. It would be like letting your neighbor come stay with you while he was in danger from a bad electrical system. You wouldnt feel bad putting him out if he violated your house rules and his house was now repaired so the danger was over.

[@feonjun]

The Cambodian general have better English vocabulary skill than the gangsters.

[@feonjun]

Hawaii looked like he was about bust out crying like a little bitch.

[@tiberfoaming4191]

Many Cambodians in Phnom Penh have excellent English. The General had a strong accent, but a good command of the language. Easier for me to understand than "Hawaii", to be honest.

[@amath-dr7uk]

The gangsters speak like low class afro-americans...

[@SAM-ng5gt]

Totally agree. ..

[@boltman6359]

@ben yosep call it what you want. Truth hurts

[@nathanielcarreon5634]

It is always somebody else fault.

[@2loveKaiya]

It is clear. If you do not want to get deported DO NOT DO THE CRIME. It is sad to see their parents cry for their child.

[@DenisHuaHin]

England should do the same.

[@lakertang]

Shit. I'm cambodian, i'm glad his ass is outta here. Do the crime get the fuck out. They should expand this rule to all ppl.

[@boltman6359]

I wonder if these "men" realize what their parents had to go through in Cambodia. Povery, war, fear of prison, fear of being shipped away in "re-education" camps. The did everything they could to have their children be in a country that they could only wish they had earlier. Those "men" really won the lottery --only to throw the ticket away. How sad

[@Itried20takennames]

Thanks to Bill Herod for doing the transitional shelter for deportees. Amazing work.

[@cllmda]

Well guess what...It's not just the US,that's the way it goes in most Western countries .Here too,in France, foreigner's are systematically deported after paying for their crimes /the day they get out of prison.

[@gah9182]

Get send back and they haven’t learn a thing to do better🙄

[@asiane]

ya know what i'm sayin'..ya know what i'm sayin'... NO, i don't.

[@stevenearlsmith2595]

While in the U.S.A., as a refugee, one can go through the process to become naturalized. Then again, this guy admits he was a drug dealer/gang banger. Also, plainly states his mother "did not learn/speak english, so lived in the Cambodian Communities". The only person he has to blame is him & his mother. Solutions are simple. Arrive U.S., And Learn English. Don't Join gangs, commit crimes, etc... Follow the legal process & apply for citizenship.

[@Dagekk968]

I just blame him. His mother had made great sacrifices considering that she has seen more death and suffering in almost 4 years than what most people have seen in their entire life and yet he choose to be around gangs.

[@henryweaver667]

You have spent your whole life in the U.S. your english is gansta style, speak right man. Your interview with ICE may have been different. 😉

[@chanthechinook7830]

That’s not how it works… watch the documentary called “Sentenced Home”

[@luplup24]

Great video. Outstanding work. Be great to see more on this subject.

[@AgentGhQ]

People like this is like plaque to society. Particularly, to the Cambodian culture which was once a descendant of a powerful empire. It's a shame that after the holocaust of the Pol Pot regime, people like this convict has chosen their fate instead of educating them self to become a productive member of society. Even when I was a teen, I was more intrigued with science and technology than to be convinced to join gangs like it was some herd going through a slaughter house!

[@easiadr7130]

That wanna-be rapper sounds like a cartoon character. He has a bright future in Kampuchea. Food there is good. Forget about the states.

[@sanxiong57]

Those rap music sound like a prank from American Idol telling them they could launch a global deport hit!

[@mathao8715]

I am so lucky that my parents applied for an american citizenship,and me too

[@loralaix]

they haven't learned their lessons!! learn to live peacefully!!

[@simpsonhenry7289]

You go into somebody's house, obey their house rules. Simple.

[@yojimbobimbo4684]

Think they deported you because of your rap skills.

[@chanvisaktep]

a life is a life. life is precious it doesn't matter where you live. Live in peace and do positive acts, and the same will be returned.

[@yeoj1925]

that's the us immigration law, if a non citizen committed a crime, he's subsjected to deportation, that applies to permanent resident/immigrants/non citizens, good riddance, you guys are lucky lots of good people wants to be in usa & become good citizens, but they weren't given a chance, stay in cambodia good for you

[@SonyPinriya]

I have no feeling for those kids. when they have the opportunities, they don't take advantage of it. they chose the way they lives . if i am one of them i don't need no sympathy from anyone.

[@georgesologbah9743]

quit calling them american .........americans dont get deported

[@sanxiong57]

They think their American that's why they thought their green card was their USA birth certificate...smh!

[@vintran2106]

Send all them back! Thanks to the law.

[@canadianroot]

sorry, but can ANYBODY in this forum speak English? Jesus, what's with all the gangsta posing? Get real.

[@DenisHuaHin]

" gangsta" ha ha

[@blitzkrieg459]

I know. I live in america, and this kind of thing enrages me to the core.

[@សន្យា-Promise]

Thanks for your sharing this video. However I cannot was born on those times but I can know more news from watching KZbin

[@chicagogyrl7849]

Why was he dealing drugs at 11?! Where were his parents??? This is his and his parents fault. These people were obviously not raised correctly, and the parents should have gotten their papers. LOSERS!!!!

[@55mautak]

Feeling shocked? Don't look any farther, Chicago itself was infested with fatherless thugs.

[@PBMS123]

English please?

More luck just a "FLUSH"...if you know what I mean. :)

[@TheYnotThat]

Let's make sure you understand me, "KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?"

[@flip1sba]

At least that problem didn't backfire in Cambodia unless those who got deported back to Central America.

[@grantourismo0109]

@khmer209racer it is not the matter of agree or disagree. If you commit a crime then u take the punishment, these gangster (no matter the color) who fired weapon on the street in gang war probably accidentally shot innocent people who were at the wrong place, you care about the right of these criminals , do you care about the innocent people who became victims ? their family need to put up with this for rest of life ! :(

[@rickbangkok]

I think it would have been good to hear the deportees accept some responsibility for their own actions, rather than ignorance of the law, as well as some effort at education and working legal jobs while in the USA. Many immigrants in many waves have overcome similar hurdles to lead law abiding lives in the USA. I do agree we need to be more compassionate when resettling refugees, and President Obama should continue working on improved immigration reform.

[@EDEBOYZ]

Is all about the parent they lacks of care of they children's, most family just work work and never care about the kids

[@hasajada6863]

I know some of these deportees. Their parents did not work, being on welfare and gamble days and night. Their children run wild and turn gangsters when they turned teenagers.

[@8av8today]

Excellent law.

[@alfredkabura]

This is hard on the kid but as an older guys we always try advice the youth but they won't listen to you they listen to their peers that mostly mis lead them. There is hateful people out there that will set people up so they get in trouble set ups be careful and God bless you.

[@alanwatson3233]

I guess he never looked in a mirror

[@maljohn1414]

BLOODY BRILLIANT.

[@kathryndrury6495]

THAT WAS OUR FIRST MISTAKE...ACCEPTING THEM AS REFUGEES!

[@Ilikerainydayz]

Yep. When the US took them in, we placed ourselves in a very bad situation. These aren't what we thought they would become. They're disgraceful and thugs. They're where they belong. Yes, this pirate needs to show where his alligence is. You want to help them, the more power to you. But, quit disrespecting and stating that the US, owes them, something. The US, doesn't owe than a damn thing. They gave them an opportunity and they blew it. These thugs were given every opportunity to better themselves. They instead elected a life of crime. I'm glad they threw them back. There enough problems in the US, to have to tackle with these low lifes. Good riddance!

[@AUTISTICLYCAN]

This guy is so completely dead wrong. When the United States accepted these guys as refugees it was with the understanding that they would become law biding citizens of the USA. These guys chose to embrace the thug gangster value systems and ended up in prison. These refugee guys chose to take the full measure of what it is to be a low life and a thug. The USA gave these men an OPPORTUNITY. An opportunity is not an absolute commitment. These men were given a chance that half the people in the under developed \ third world would have killed for and they chose to waste it. Having the chance to enter the USA legally as a refugee is like winning the lottery. If I won the lottery for 25 Million dollars for example then chose to blow all the money on stupid things that landed me in prison the Lottery does not owe me another $25 Million dollars because I wasted what I won at first. Using this dumb guys logic if you give a person a chance to do well and they blow it yhe giver owes the fool another chance. WRONG! If a fool blows his chance by choosing to be a garbage thug then he has no one to blame for being kicked out of the USA but his damn self. This bleeding heart libertard needs to grow up along with the worthless junkie criminal ex convict thugs he represents. They had their shot at a good life and blew it on a life of drugs, thugs and garbage. I ask why should anyone in the United States give a darn. You think Bush was bad, You think Obama was bad, try getting Donald Trump to let these losers back in the United States. Can you say with me, "SO NOT GOING TO HAPPEN UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP!"

[@wiseguy6981]

Remember the U.S created this problem. Cambodia was at peace. During the 70's the U.S drop more bombs on this peaceful country then it did in WWII. Then help and supported a government take over with Lon Nor which breaded the Khmer Rough.. So who is responsible?

[@neozeon2567]

U know many Cambodians fought against communist along with the US and many Cambodians militias fought the commies way before the US even enter the war

[@BOMBON187]

Damn I always thought Central America had this problem alone. I feel yo pain Khmer people.

[@yellowrooster3308]

Everybody is given an opportunity to fulfill their ambitions, remember you’re just living in an adopted country .you break the law you have to accept what the consequences are. I don’t feel sorry for these people

[@Americanwarrior-j1m]

The U.S DOES NOT OWE ILLEGALS OR REFUGEES ONE DAMN THING BUT A TICKET HOME..

oh dear, his accent. which neighberhood did he grow up?

[@brianrobichaud6516]

With poverty comes gangs...that's BS...look at Lagos Nigeria...very poor...yet mostly everyone works and they push criminals out...poverty does not mean gangs...that's spoiled American thinking

[@vt067]

Brian Robichaud what this means is that with poverty comes corruption whether is be gangs, crimes, starvation, murders etc. All of which are present in countries in Lagos and Nigeria in high numbers. Poor countries have a host of their own problems meaning it doesn’t matter how hard you work, persistent problems relating to poverty will be high.

[@55mautak]

Hmmmm, there's a lot of countries to choose, but why Lagos Nigeria. Nigeria rank 22 of worlds worst crime rate by countries.

[@briggs9187]

what bunch of shit.... Commit crimes, go to jail and expect no consequences? they should all tell their mother how sorry they are for screwing up the opportunity they simply wasted away, and they are mad at the U.S?

Refugee does not mean citizenship. They should keep that status only until their own country is safe to return too.

[@chaomeinthao]

So what what a sad story

[@luplup24]

Does anybody know what song is called at 13:25 ?

[@Itried20takennames]

If for nothing else, this seems wrong because the legal penalty varies hugely by whether the persons parents had their act together (and did the paperwork to make their kids full citizens), or were struggling or uninformed (and didn’t bother to get the paperwork done). That isn’t just.

[@mpcinlv]

As a Cambodian American family, this is a great policy. OMG - what our parents-older siblings went through to realize their American Dream. And then there are these criminals, complaining they weren't "PROVIDED" the opportunity. No mercy for those who prey on others .... I'm sorry Bill, you can't blame the system. They are the products of their own actions in the USA. Quit seeding victim mentality.
