Deporting someone does not solve a problem it just creates more problems ,especially when they have already been punished under the law for their crime.
yea but it eliminates him from committing any more crimes in the States. The US does not give a shit about the person.
https://fpif.org/u-s-deporting-cambodia ... -children/Lacking resources and support to help them thrive in the United States, many Cambodian refugees didn’t realize the limitations of their rights as legal permanent residents. Some learned the precariousness of their resident status only when immigration officials informed them out of nowhere that they were going to be deported to Cambodia.
Harsh 1996 immigration laws greatly expanded the list of crimes that could lead to the deportation of non-citizens. Hundreds of permanent U.S. residents from Cambodia with past criminal charges have found themselves returning in shackles to Cambodia—sometimes due to years-old nonviolent crimes for which they have already served their time. Crimes for which Cambodian refugees have been deported have included the possession of marijuana and buying stolen computer chips.
Some “returnees” have actually never set foot in Cambodia and speak no Khmer, having been born in Thai refugee camps. Most consider themselves fully American.
Just another shit law against anyone the us deems not fit to live in America and under Trump its getting worse with no end in sight..
Cambodia has taken in 566 deportees since inking a 2002 pact with the US that opened the trap door on thousands of legal residents who had blots on their criminal records.
Authorities now want to revise a deal seen as a form of "double punishment" for deportees, many of whom were booted out years after finishing their prison sentences.
But unpicking the agreement is unlikely with President Donald Trump talking tough on immigration and immigrants with criminal pasts.
https://www.khmertimeskh.com/5079741/ma ... eign-home/Many Cambodian refugees never thought to apply for full citizenship after they were granted permanent resident status in the US.
It wasn’t until years after they arrived, in 1996, that the US passed laws mandating deportation of non-citizens with a criminal record.
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Re: Deported to Cambodia.
People should behave themselves in someone else's country. There should have a similar process here. I believe if you have been sentenced to a year or more in prison, you should serve your time then get deported back to where you came from and banned from return. Yet I see people that I know who have been in jail for more than 12 months still walking around the streets of Phnom Penh. A stronger deterrent wouldn't be a bad thing imho.

Re: Deported to Cambodia.
The guys in the video feels like they are foreigners in their home land?!? They should be lucky they get a second chance at freedom. Would it be better stuck in jail and back in America?
They all know the law and then blame it on their environment? I understand some of them committed a crime, did their time and was detained later by Ice but going back to you knowing the law, language, read and write should of thought about the crimes they committed
