Clampdown on foreigners living in Cambodia with illegal documents

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Honestly, in primitive societies, the rules change. So I say, racism is **mostly right**, in Cambodia, right now. Remember those qualifications, with exceptions please, and please don't misquote me or twist my words. Thank you.

PRIMITIVE SOCIETIES :evil:
Take for example prisons worldwideoften drawn on racial lines. Primitive society.
Another example would be inner-city Americaprimitive, and usually drawn on racial lines.
The deep, rural, Confederate South (forgive me my rebel brothers) — but usually drawn on racial lines. Simple society.

Any more questions, my well-meaning poster?

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.

Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.

not exactly the best source for "this is the truth"
Disagree 100%.

Other sources mostly state their point of view.

wiki allows constant peer-editing by specialists, regardless of which side they come from..

Do CNN/Fox/BBC allow that? No. Why?

Wiki is not perfect, but it's way better than sources that filter and refuse any edits.

"In recent years, field research carried out by Ehrentraut in 2013 suggested that ethnic relations between Vietnamese have deteriorated not only with the ethnic Khmer, but also with the Cham and Chinese Cambodians.[51]"
The report is from 2013. The anti-Vietnamese sentiment was stirred up by Sam Rainsy over many years for political points.

I tend to believe that an us/ them mentality exists deep within our crocodile brains and cannot be denied. Us monkeys think we're smarter than our evolutionary abilities. 100 000 years or so is not long enough.

Then, some of them had to leave Vietnam for whatever reason, and ended up here, no doubt. So there are a few Chinese-Viet-Cambodians here now, through the long circuit of emigration, China-->Vietnam-->Cambodia. And mostly marrying Chinese ... Funny ...
I do agree with this part. Somehow Teochew dispora seems to find each other no matter the country they imigrate to.

More than 2,300 foreigners deported [this year so far]
The government’s crackdown on illegal immigrants has resulted in more than 2,300 being deported and barred permanently from the kingdom so far this year.
Lieutenant General Uk Heisela, director of investigations at the Interior Ministry’s immigration department, said officials arrested and deported 2,357 illegal immigrants.
“These immigrants were of 51 different nationalities. Of this, 1,220 deportees were Vietnamese,” he said.

Last year, the government’s crackdown against offending foreigners resulted in 3,376 immigrants being deported and barred permanently from the kingdom. They were comprised of 63 nationalities but the vast majority – 2,453 – were Vietnamese.

Since April 2014, when the government established the general department of immigration, nationwide statistics show that 14,018 foreigners from 85 countries have been deported and permanently barred from entry into the kingdom.
Of them, 10,908 – or nearly 78 percent – were Vietnamese nationals.
