Is this true?

I've never heard of sending US citizens overseas for punishment.

"I've never heard of sending US citizens overseas for punishment."

They're not citizens, and I think this is a great idea. Cry me a river you people. Something tells me that the guy doing the urinating in public wasn't pissing in a corner of a dark alley. He probably whipped it out in the middle of State Street.

That's the point: they're not citizens. They've never become citizens. They're foreign nationals who committed crimes in the US, and are being returned to their birthplace. I have no problem with it. If they want their families, they can always have them immigrate.

I don't understand the nanny-attitude of the fellow running the "shelter" in Cambodia: he pays for damages his inmates cause, he mops up their puppy pee--for nothing. The criminals are still criminals, ungrateful--there's something to be said for Christian charity, but there's also something to be said for not allowing oneself to be repeatedly used by evil people. After the first time, you remove yourself from the situation.

"I didn't know what was going on - I didn't know what INS was or what it stands for," Chhoeuth said, wincing in confusion.

"My dad asked me to go to a citizenship ceremony in 1990, when I was 18, but I didn't go," Chhoeuth said. "I was already a permanent resident, so I thought to be a citizen just meant I could vote ... I didn't know when you do something wrong, you get deported."

BULLSH!T

First of all these guys are FELONS that were RESIDENT ALIENS, NOT CITIZENS...just because you have a "GREEN CARD" (which is actually pink by the way) doesn't mean you are a Nationalized Citizen. The first thing I did when I moved to the US was to look up all of the information that I could, this guy is pleading ignorance, but how can he when his own father went through the process of becoming a citizen. If he was truly interested in the process he could have asked his father for information..

Jeeeez.. Did you not even bother to READ the story?

It's CAMBODIAN criminals that we are deporting to Cambodia. Boo Hoo Hoo.

We repatriated Italian-Americans like crazy during the depression/mob era.
