I'm having a hard time understanding this. If Cambodia won't take them back, where are we deporting them to?


President Trump’s administration will begin deporting Cambodian nationals after placing sanctions on the country for refusing to take back their illegal foreign nationals.

According to VOA News, roughly 70 Cambodian nationals will be deported from the United States in the month of December, a win for Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, which has been trying to get the foreign nation to take back its nationals.

ICE says that in total there are more than 1,900 Cambodian nationals living in the U.S. that are eligible for deportation. Out of those 1,900, about 1,412 of the Cambodian nationals are convicted criminals.

In September, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that it would place sanctions on Cambodia for refusing to take back its nationals.

A State Department official told VOA:

The U.S. “believes that each country has an obligation under international law to accept the return of its nationals who are not eligible to remain in the United States or any other country.”

Though open borders organizations have claimed that the deportation of the Cambodian nationals is unjust, ICE spokesman Brendan Raedy says that all illegal aliens and criminal foreign nationals are subject to deportation.

“The bottom line is that any alien removed no longer had any lawful status to remain in the United States,” Raedy said.

“International law obligates each country to accept the return of its nationals ordered removed from the United States,” Raedy told VOA.

“The United States itself routinely cooperates with foreign governments in documenting and accepting its citizens when asked, as do the majority of countries in the world,” Raedy said.

Sounds like Cambodia relented, and is going to accept the deportations now, after having initially refused.

It appears we just tolerate them / let them stay:

Apparently, tossing them a bunch of old rafts and pushing them off the flight deck of a carrier in International Waters is unacceptable. Other sympathetic countries would be free to scoop up as many as they please and take them anywhere else they like. We could coordinate it and praise the humanitarian gesture of the new host countries. Win-Win!

Although, knowing the Hispanic guy who was just acquitted in that other shooting had snuck back in four more times, despite multiple formal deportations and multiple felonies and US prison time, maybe it's better that we keep our eyes on them, or something...

sounds like a nice sweep

We don't want criminals from any country, get them all the fuck out of here.

First ISIS, now this? Please Mr. President, I don't know if I can take all this winning. Can you slow it down a bit?

I couldn't give a crap less where Cambodian criminals go when they are forced to leave the US. AMF, baby.

I'm pretty sure we have many warehouses choc full of static line parachutes.

No, give us more. It never gets old.

Just take them to Laos, push them across the Cambodian border, and leave. There doesn't need to be any further communication with the Cambodian government.

Maybe the boss dogs walked through one of the many areas still pocked with B-52 bomb craters and thought 'no, maybe we should just screw with Switzerland, or maybe Zimbabwe, yeah, that's it, Zimbabwe.

Sounds like a Holiday In Cambodia.

Is Pol Pot one of them?
