@sotojoe8 Actually, they didn't know what the penalty was since the sentence was "20 years in prison", not "20 years in prison and you're getting deported". If he'd known he was going to get deported, probably wouldn't have gotten too invested in creating a life in the US.
crmags it doesn’t even matter though . He was convicted of murder you idiot. If he can take the life of another , he doesn’t deserve a second chance at living in a country that’s not his in the first place . He didn’t even give his victim a chance to live a life , why should the government give him a chance to stay here, so he can go out there and kill another person? Well done ICE.
You didn't understand what was said. He already served his time. It's insane how they deport someone who broke some windows, just property damage. I mean, seriously.
So wait murderers should X punishment, but a government who pulls the rug out from under a rehabilitated gentleman who is a father who his family needs...nice pick on the little guy who repents and side with the unrepentant government who bombed Cambodia illegallly via Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon....may God have mercy on your judgemental self-righteous soul.
Cambodia is now a developing country, faster than USA and has a great ancient history. These kids deported back should learn the history of their parents country and be proud of it and find ways to adjust and live like their Ancestors. Life goes on, it doesn't end in being deported and being American. I would sugggest she should go to Cambodia and raise her kid their with him. I'm sure she will love it.
American living in Cambodia here..if you're smart and hard worker you can make a better Living here than in USA. Quit my dead end job in USA n moved to Cambodia. Happy ever after
@@maayongaga729 I really don't understand they don't want to leave USA and called Al Jazeera to film their pity state . go live with your love if that so or else find an other one . Simple
Because it’s “second” degree! Maybe if it was “first” degree then you can say it wasn’t a mistake. Just saying, don’t shoot the messenger. Pun intended. Lol
Shopacholicru, I agree with you. All of those "homies" who committed murder and served their time wants everyone to feel sorry for them. In most Countries he would of been executed; however, he thought that he was invincible that he did not bother to get his USA RESIDENCE, AND KARMA, came and gave him his worse nightmare.
The person he murdered family will never see, speak or enjoy the company of their love one ever again. Many women raising their children alone, she is no better than they are.
the cambodian genecide by pol pot was a US creation. so you could argue if that didn't happen their wouldn't be refugees here, whereas the american family member that died already had a good life and was their turn to die.
When I was 14 I tried sneaking my parents car out of the carport. I put the car in neutral and pushed the car and forgot I left the drivers side door open and it got tore off on the carport post. That’s mistakes teenagers make. Not murder.
OMG, my sister and I did the same thing, except we made it out of the long driveway and down the road (the car didn't have a muffler, I we had to get pretty good distance) anyway the car ended up getting stolen from us. I was scared af to go home but luckily they found the car a few county's over, and out of gas, nothing else, so I only got wooped w the paddle about 10 times and it was done, no grounding. My sister just took off, she was 4 years to the day older, she past away May of 2017. Thanks for the memories!
you have little to absolutely No Clue how traumatized the Cambodian refugees were when they arrived in the US or Canada. This video only demonstrates how rotten donald trump a person he is. he is a heartless racist and an incarnation of the most evil president the US has ever voted for. The Cambodian refugees deserve amnesty at all levels.
@@jackipark9659 They came as refugees and were granted permanent residency, basically green card holders. So they did not arrive as illegal. However, it is ignorant of the law that they did not apply for citizenship.
I have no sympathy for a convicted murderer. At least he can still communicate with his wife and see his child grow up. The person he killed was someone's child, father/mother brother/sister husband/wife and best friend that can never be replaced. I hope he uses the time he has left to reflect and make peace with his crime and past, but he does not deserve any sympathy Life is full of choices, you don't have to make the wrong ones you can choose to go to school and do well, get a degree, work experience, excel at your job and make a comfortable living wage the right way. That is the American dream, and as a Vietnamese immigrant, I am living proof that it is possible.
He was 14 yrs. old. A mere child with an undeveloped prefrontal cortex incapable of making sound rational decisions. An age highly susceptible to peer pressure and a product of his surrounding environment. Imagine carrying over all the immature and reckless decisions you've made as a 14 year old child. I doubt many would identify with the actions and values of when we were so young. Not condoning taking the life of another sentient being, but I do sympathize for him and the whole situation. Ultimately, he was was fated with this circumstance. And, I wish him and his family to overcome this in whatever expression it presents itself.
@@cultivatelife your making an alibi to make a crime by covering up your age or sometimes they said they were being bullied of some sort , lame excuse sorry I don't buy it .
Killing someone is not just a mistake, he committed murder and no doing time in jail is not just the end of it. It’s not the end of it for the victim’s family.
I agree that she would be happier in Cambodia with her husband. A good job for them is in the tourism industry in Cambodia. English speaking tourists love English speaking guides. It's worth a try. Obviously it's a sad situation.
Kay Flip so many expats living all over Asia, Southeast Asia is paradise for foreign expats. Like a paradise and you will live like a king or queen with the exchange rate for western currency.
you got the point! always blaming on America.. and showing beheading of Americans and Korean people on their network.. what kind of animal is Al Jazeera?
how about knowing if committed crime would caused u be sent to Cambodia? Im native Khmer living in Cambodia since born. I feel they are being kicked from US to Cambodia. It's like u are in between, but lost at the same time. U don't know which exactly is your home.
I have been to Cambodia many times over the years. There are some opportunities in the tourist industry. Some westerners that do not speak Khmer have built a life there. His wife and baby should travel to Cambodia, they may be able to make a life there. At least see if there is an opportunity to do so, for the sake of their child. Sometimes in life you have to do more than wait for something better, you have to try to make it happen. At least they would be together as a family for some time, that alone would be worth the effort.
I agree with all on this thread so far. He needs to make a life for him self there first. Speak the language, get a job build his nest for his wife and baby. His wife and baby will be well taken care of here in the USA with social services. How greater can it be for him. Isnt this the order of things in every country. When a man plans for a family. Doesnt he have to earn it. Besides havent we spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on him already. (Incarceration) now his little family he left behind. We taxpayers are covering it still.
Hello AwqCutie, Under the eyes of white people ALL ASIAN are the same: Cambodian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, Thailander ... They don't see and don't care if there are any difference among them: THEY ALL ARE CHINESE...
I guess there are a lot of people still does not know how Asians differ from one another. Everybody see Asian as Chinese. My appearance is very ambiguous although I came from south East Asian. Mistaken as Chinese, Korean or Japanese. Even my son was thought as the same.
Don’t feel sorry for this guy at all, he does not even have any remorse for what he has done. He murdered someone, that’s the ultimate crime against a human one can commit.
Did not know they had to get citizenship. I find that just hard to believe. And since you are not a citizen you are a guest. So behave like one and do not commit a crime.
Not true. A lot of the kids think of themselves as Americans because they came here at 1 year old and have a PERMANENT Alien resident card. So as far as they knew, they were permanent residents like their card says. Back then when they came here no one told them what to do. They came here after surviving genocide and torture. I'm not making excuses. I can just see how some didn't know. But I'm sure a lot found out as they got older but still decided to play with fire.
But I still agree with you on just don't commit crimes. I'm lucky and was born here. My mom and family were refugees from Cambodia. My grandfather became a citizen in the late 80s and my grandma in the 90s with other family. They love living in America and they say it's the greatest country in the world. I agree!
theyre refugees from a war the US started, they displaced and kiIIed millions due to imperialism, broke their treaties and promises with these people that fought alongside them against the vietnamese, as a result it displaced millions of them and these kids and moms fleeing had to leave their country and way of life.
A person who is a guest in a foreign country should work hard bettering themselves. The locals hate crime and they have enough with their own citizens, they don't need more trouble. Sad.
I am against the phrase' Robbery gone wrong' if you decide to commit a crime. especially carrying a weapon, you don't know how it will turn out, this phrase cannot restore a person's life, if you kill someone in the commission of a crime, you should lose your life too, or the next severest penalty paid
100% agree with you. Why they do not do a video about the families destroyed Talk about the victims not the murderess. That robbery gone wrong destroyed families. Interview them. Show all the struggle they went through all this time.
Alice فننة same if your a citizen, get a felony and try getting a job other than burger flipping, no security clearance, no working in govt, no real opportunities, sux to be them.
See what would happen to you if you go to Russia or China for a visit & murder a citizen there and many other countries for that matter! I absolutely guarantee you that you would come out way worse than this guy did here! He is crying the blues about paying his dues but that person is dead absolutely no future here other than what god ordains but this guy is still in the land of the living with his health & his wife & son if they choose can go to see him! So I am not going get all teary eyed over his situation or hers since she knew his history though I do feel sorry for the baby because nobody gave him any choice in the father he was to receive!
Shocking as it may seem.....MANY ppl can end up convicted felons due to a corrupt system.... and you might have owned ur own home outright... that would need selling to pay to for all the fees they want from you and like someone above said... try getting a job with a felony charge, oh yea and even if you have a license to practice a particular trade.... they just tell you 'you can't do that any more'... . Everyone who lives in the bubble of 'well don't do the wrong thing blah blah blah'... wake up!!!
I do feel bad for some of them but I can't feel all bad. Growing up my grandmother tells me stories of how she escaped the Khmer rouge with three children by herself. Almost got killed on several occasions. Growing up I told her I would take care of her and will NEVER waste the opportunity to be here because it will be a great insult to her. I grew up in the hood too but my will to show my grandmother a better life trumps all.
I am immigrants myself, the first thing I need to do it’s good behaviour be respectful, be responsible for your actions, work hard, society don’t need violence, and protect my family, by applied for citizens first making sure that I had proper passport before I get out to visit the other countries , and I had been in Canada over 40 years ago
why doesn't posys wife follow her husband? if he can never return to the US even though she leaves behind family just like he did, it would be worth the sacrifice to be with her husband.
No my friend she feel same way like him never been live in Cambodia if you don't live there recently is kind difficult to live there especially you have small child is not good place for them to live. even me I grow up in Cambodia I still don't want to live over there maybe go visit and come back be okay because we're always thinking America is heaven 🙏 good place to live and race use children
She could go there and visit him along with their child which would be okay but if she wants to go live there with him she had to go through what he should had gone through here in the USA. She must become a citizen or residence there as well otherwise she had to leave the country after her visa time expired or else she'll get arrested.
Team Spirits that takes money. Money she doesn’t have. Living in a third world country know way. Dirty and poor. Been there. Nice to visit but nice to leave.
@@JL-iu7fk once you have "green card" you only need to wait 5 years and meet the requirements to apply for citizenship (3 years if you're in the military). He didn't need to marry her for citizenship.
Many "criminals" commit relatively minor crimes. Thousands of these people have mental illnesses like paranoid schizophrenia. Discover your humanity and cultivate compassion.
When a US citizen commits a crime, we go to jail, get out, and for the rest of our lives we are punished. Cant get a good paying job and cant vote. Our children cry as well. They act out in school. Their lives are never the same. These men get to go to their homeland. Assume a new identity and truly start over. Their wives and girlfriends can go live with them. They are not US citizens.
Living in the United States or anywhere in the world is a privilege, not a right. Therefore, your privilege can be taken away including removing from the society (capital punishment). Any of your action whether is good or bad will follow by the consequences.
A privilege created by the gringos that stole the Americas and not the original American. According to the natives believes, all human have the right to live where they chose in this Earth cuz it does not belong to us, we belong to the Earth. it's why natives of Americans never had borders.
yeah that's obvious and he's never going to be a citizen. His chances of even getting a waiver for a permanent bar like this (murdering an innocent person) are ZERO.
"We are human " she said - but we are also humans and deserve to be in a peaceful place and wish to be away from criminals , our kids are growing here and need protection - back to Cambodia is more than fair .
yeah its a no brainer. If your a criminal with no legal status to be in a country how tf can they keep track of you. These people have some nerve, like okay your in the country illegally so stay low and work hard not be a criminal and draw attention to yourself. Why dont these people understand how bad it is to be illegal? unnacounted for? morons love complaining because they dont like the rules that keep this country as good as it is. Imagine if immigration laws werent so strict we'd have much more garbage among us than we already do its unfathomable
Well, she might've lived in a place with a small amount of asian diversity, not to mention China is 1/8 of the human population so why wouldn't they say that? Not everyone's a geogologist genius
NO EMPATHY AT ALL FOR THIS GUY!!! THE LADY MARRIED THE WRONG GUY, NOW SHE NEEDS TO GO TO CAMBODIA AND REUNITE THEIR FAMILY IF SHE REALLY LOVES HIM!!!!!
She's not going to she likes America.. she doesn't want to go with live down there regardless of the baby.. she wanted to be with a bad boy and this is what u get.
She needs to do what is best for child not what's best for her. She should focus on the child and give him the best future which can be done only in AMERICA. Let the husband stay in Cambodia.
I think every immigrant in the US should realize that staying in the US as a permanent resident is a privilege rather than a right so you are always under the mercy of your host.
They have the opportunity of becoming US citizens after they’ve been here for five years why didn’t they become a US citizen it’s their fault they got nobody to blame by themselves
For murder he will never get back in the USA again married to a citizens or not you need to let spouses knows in case you have to leave it's better for him wth a record like he can't even have a job the wife look young did she know he was a convicted murder shes young pretty caucasian wth a baby she need to raise this baby without him and focus ,she can't do nothing for him right now America is overpopulated too much on their plates,that's why now they change and wants to give educated people only the chance to come here or gets a Visa .the immigration notices that some come here dont even bother to learn the English language spent 10,20 years and more working low paying jobs and sometimes that can lead to criminal behavior.
@@elsiemartin9302 Hi Elsie, we have the same problem here in Thailand. Many uneducated foreigners come to Southeast Asia and live here for 10 - 20 years without speaking a word of our language. They also take away our good jobs and get paid 2x more despite some of us being way more qualified. Do you think this is fair? I too, wish that uneducated foreigners would be barred from entering our countries so they can’t pollute our culture any further. What do you think?
No, I want Trump locked up for his crimes, lying, cheating taxes and selling Amerucan secrets to the Russians! But, you Trump supporters don't care. How hypocritical is that?!
@Sith'ari Azithoth there is evidence! You just decide not to listen to it! Why was his son in law & dau9allowed security clearance when everyone said it would be dangerous? Why did Trump have secret meetings with Putin, w/o a translator in the room? Why hasn't he punished MBS, crown prince of Saudi Arabia, for the murder & dismemberment of Khossagi? The truth will all come out! Just like Nixon presidential reign.
You should read and see lots of News outlets example CNN they have no source of information thats backed up with evidence. No personal journalism, all these allegations are with no backed up evidence. Why people believe them?
Allison can get on a plane at some point and go visit her husband so he can hold his son. She can stay for a week or two once a year so he can know his son and so she and her husband can be together. If you love your husband Allison, go see your man. People travel everyday....take your son to see his dad. Use Airbnb and get a nice place for the three of you to visit. Wake up girl! Your man is not dead.....go see him.
Allison never said she won't go and visit her husband. I'm sure she will at some stage. But consider that she is already a single mum who is currently supporting herself and her son. That's not cheap and neither is a flight all the way from Minnesota to Cambodia. They may not be able to afford to fly there every year and any job that Posy is able to get in Cambodia will pay very badly because its still a developing country. They obviously want to be together but right now they simply can't afford to be.
@@haddingtoniangcp2464 Well then maybe you shouldn't have any! Only boys would be annoyed with a baby's cry! Real Men aren't! Hey women out there watch out for this boy and never attempt to pro-create with it!
Or when you can spell... But really, it wasn’t a privilege when all those Brits, Poles, etc pretty much just turned up at Ellis Island, back in the day. Citizenship through slavery was hardly a privilege.
@@fidget2020 , yo don't know what you're talking about! Or you think that you just showed up to Ellis Island and they just jumped to make you a citizen! Citizenship through slavery was the greatest privilege ! That's why was hard fought for hundred years!
I'm sorry it's sad and all but the guy who murdered someone through a robbery I have zero sympathy for.. nothing no matter what could justify enough punishment for.
Would you feel differently if you knew that Posy, after being released from prison, volunteered at a boxing club for at-risk young people in Minnesota - guiding them into not following the same road he did. Or that he would offer free hair cuts to people to raise money for charity. Because that's what he was doing for the past 4 years.
Karishma Vyas That is NOT ENOUGH!!! Posy needs to take that energy and give it to Cambodia!!! He committed murder and he should get a do-over and stay in the US???!!! NOPE!!!
I really don't understand how people don't seem to understand that permanent residency is not the same thing as citizenship, and why they take so long to start the paperwork.
You are given the privilege of living in the US indefinitely as a LPR. Unless you become a citizen, you will be subject to removal if you do things that violate your green card status.
@@blacklotusxxxxxx what are you some kind of a racist ? If you are a citizen you don't have to be afraid to get deported But if you are not a citizen you walk and live on eggshells. You do not commit a crime. Period.
I MOVED FROM ILLNOIS TO HAWAII. IT WAS LIKE ANOTHER COUNTRY. I WORKED HARD RESPECTED THE LOCALS AND WAS DETURMEND TO MAKE IT. IF YOU BREAK OUR LAWS ITS YOUR FAULT. YOUR FAULT.
she should move on,cancel her marriage,focus on the child's future. live a new life. she is young and have a beautiful future ahead of her,rather than being isolated in the dark past.
Yeah I wonder why the documentary didn't explore this. Could be because she bought a house, and lets face it, the kid will have a brighter future here than over there
If that was my grandchild I would do what ever it takes to prevent that from happening, because I would know that the child would have a better life living in the U.S. than in Cambodia.
I feel bad n sad for those deportees that were separated from their families. No matter who it is, it’s unbearable and will be lost for years before they could find their way for a better life.,. Keep it up guys n girls..
I love these pieces or documentaries. They are so one sided. So, I pose this question, we have laws, and when someone breaks the law, why are they so surprised with the consequences?
Dude committed murder. I'm just shaking my head and thinking "pendejo". I'm an immigrant. We got our Green Cards when I was 13 and then got my passport at 20. The thought of committing any sort of crime was inconceivable.
Although my heart breaks for the children and families left behind to fight the fight, I don't have much sympathy for the deportees. Our parents brought us(refugee child myself) here for a better life. Whether it's a big or small crime, you were given one chance and you took it for granted. If you were able to turn your life around in prison, you're strong enough to do it again.
I've lived here for 25 years, I knew I've wanted to live here, so I to prove that I was a good person in order for the american government to consider me, I finally became a US citizen in 2012, never had a problem with the law, so don't brake the law
well, if you're not a criminal, well done. i have nothing against smuggling things, or doing small things for money. but i am against organised crime stuff, and murders and rapes and other heavy things. this guy spent 17 years in jail. idk what he did, but it must be pretty horrible if he got 17 years(maybe it was more, but he got out early on the base of deportation)
i lived in the USA for 18 years and loved it but i would not call it lucky.... the company just needed my European skills :-) maybe they were lucky lol
Any conviction should result in automatic deportation for a non-citizen. They should not be able to fight the deportation in court. They should know that illegal activity carries the risk of deportation, not just prison.
They did the time already now tgey are being punisjed twice double jeopardy and inhumane and unconstitutional ....now it is also effecting the american citizen wife and child's pursuit of happiness
Hope this is a Lesson for Others to Learn, Dont Commit Crimes , Simple. NO? Involved in Armed Robbery , thats not a Small time crime such as Shoplifting . The Guy Killed Someone, SMH
He did make a terrible mistake when he was a naive *child* but he paid the price and served his sentence. What's more is that he learned from his mistake and turned his life around. By the time he was re-arrested for deportation he was a productive tax-paying citizen who was looking after his family. So punishing him even further and separating him from his family and the country he calls home seems very unnecessary and cruel. Chamrun? (the other guy who's waiting to be deported) broke three windows at bar! That's a petty crime and should not warrant the deportation of someone and separating them from their family.
Here is the thing, its racists. If they do this then it should be for all people. Any white person doing the same thing should be deported too, but no, because its the elite whites that make the rule. Be consistent. If a black person does it, send him/her back to Africa. If an Asian person does it, send him/her back to Asia. If a white person does it, send him/her back to Europe. If a Latino does it, send him/her back to Spain or Mexico. If a native American does it, then jail him/her; they belong here. I am not for bad people but the policies are racists. You don't ever hear about deporting white people back.
Mike Smith , if their parents came to USA legally, and the mom gave birth on USA soil, then the child is a natural born citizen. Meaning they can't be deported to another country. Doesn't matter what skin color.
You have to understand the choices you make before you make them! Don't wait for a mistake to do the right thing to change, typically it repeats until they're caught. Too many times I've heard this story. The U.S. gov knows that too!
I am not sure why someone who is convicted of a felony should not be deported! There are millions of folks who have been vetted & waiting their turn to immigrate here so why should we put up with non citizens who commit felonies. Jeez we have plenty of our own citizens who are criminals!
Although I feel bad for percy your actions reflect only back to him. My parents were immigrants from Central America. We came to better ourselves and we left the central America bs, behind . We Don't celebrate the old, no flags, no old country celebrations. If we wanted the central America dream we would still be there . Embrace the dream and Google what nightmare you left behind. Plus too many parades with foreign flaggs. This is the usa, stars and stripes forever. You love your deportees go join them .
@@americanbobtail1 he and many other Cambodians left due to their government killing those they felt a threat. The US allowed Cambodians to claim refugee status and apply for a permanent residence card or green card. He’s a guest in the US and residence status can be revoked.

mary misdom The only problem is she can't use deportation as a key to a free plane ticket to phenom pen and Cambodia doesn't have section 8 housing assistance & WIC assistance & food stamps program!!
"Why would they do this to us?" You did it to yourselves! How could he not understand that he was not a US citizen when he came here in 1986? AND he's a convicted murderer!
The guy got a golden chance and threw it all away by murder. He was 14 but that does not excuse him. He surely know it was wrong to rob but still did it. He knew it was wrong to kill and it did not bother him. All these claims of rehabilitation is just a show for the press. If they are really rehabilitated, they should show it by making good in Cambodia. Choosing a country to live in is not a human right.
choosing a country to live in should be a human right! I love my Europe but don't we all own this planet? Although i guess i'm not made out to be a criminal :-)

You know "do the crime pay the cost"! he was rightfully deported his not an american citizen. Both of them should have thought of the consequences. There are plenty of single mothers in American struggling to raise their children alone.
+Johnson Kids You're off topic. I'm talking about marriage with a foreigner not the feelings towards that person. And yes, you can control your decision regarding who you marry. This love all powerful nonsense is a real indicator of a mentally weak individual.
When they got married, the guy was an American legal resident. She did not see him as a foreigner, and they did not foresee that one day, the guy would be deported.
My own brother got deported after commuting a crime. He chose that life. He was deported to Mexico after a few months ended up with a bullet through his head. I miss my brother, but he chose his own destiny.
Yes, but sometimes people makes stupid mistakes. One guy was going to get deported for getting mad and throwing stuff at the bar once. No one deserves deportation over that.
Committing Murder is one serious, and unexcusable matter, but facing deportation for braking windows is another! , and if anyone is reading this comment as of this moment, then you really logically need to admit that this is absolutely ridiculous! He might as well have eaten piece of candy at a Grocery store without paying for it!🤔
You said: People do make mistake and he made one when he was younger and he serve for the second degree murder 17 years......he commit crime and by the American law, he suppose to be not in the US. Know many cases, where people has some criminal past, but not murder and they are NOT allow to enter to US, so why this murderer should be exception? Move to Cambodia to be with your husband and problem solved. Bye bye!
I'm Sorry for him and his small family but as a Khmer Blood it's really sad that he said he know nothing about this Country, and rather do prison time then stay there.
