Deportation would be 'a life sentence' - GoFuckYourself.com

she wants the pres to pardon her LOL

(CNN) A Cambodian legal immigrant who has faced the prospect of deportation for more than a decade because she has a criminal record spoke Wednesday about her harrowing fight to stay in the US.
Last month Lundy Khoy wrote a New York Times op-ed directed at Donald Trump after the President-elect suggested during his campaign that he would implement a deportation force that will specifically target those with criminal records. It's a prospect, she wrote, that makes her "afraid."

In a new interview with CNN's Carol Costello, Khoy, the daughter of Cambodian refugees, described how she came to the US when she was a year old and was given a green card. But in 2000, as a naïve 19-year-old freshman at George Mason University, her then-boyfriend gave her some Ecstasy pills.

"I didn't have a lot of freedom in high school so I made some really poor choices my first year of college because I wanted to fit in," she said
"I was introduced to Ecstasy, and, at the time, didn't know that it was an illegal substance. I honestly told the cops when they approached me about drugs. I shared it with them that I did have these pills and (later) learned that they were illegal and I could be sentenced to ten years," she said.
Khoy, now 36, served three months in jail and was given four years of probation. But that turned out to be only the beginning of what she calls her "nightmare."
After prison, she worked full time and got good grades. Then, three years after her conviction, a then-23-year-old Khoy attended what she thought was a regular probation meeting. It turned out to be anything but.

"When I went into my probation meeting, it turned that it was immigration officers. And they immediately arrested me and said that I am going to be detained and I'm going to court and I will be most likely deported to Cambodia because of my conviction when I was 19 years old," she said.
It's all because she is classified as a legal resident, not a US citizen.
Ever since, Khoy, a mother of a young son, has been fighting the system.
"Right now I have a final order of deportation. My lawyer and I discussed it. What we can do is get the federal government to agree to reopen my case and complete a cancellation of deportation so I can remain here with my family," she said. "Or the President can give me a pardon, so that's another option. But there's just so much uncertainty."
Khoy told Costello that the idea that she would have to make a new life in Cambodia, a country where she has never been, seemed absurd.
"I'm not a drug dealer, not a gang member. I'm just an ordinary person that just wants to stay home where I feel like I belong," she said.
Asked by Costello what she would say to those who believe the law must be obeyed despite the circumstances of her case, Khoy made a plea for a "humane" solution.
"The immigration laws are very strict and rigid. I have been punished for my crime already," she said.
"I feel that sending me to a country that I have never been to, where I don't know anybody, I'm not really familiar with the country at all ... it's a life sentence."

I saw some of this interview on CNN this morning.

On one hand, this woman is fucked. Her parents brought her here when she was one year old, and this is all she knows. She cannot just "go back" to her "home country" - She has no ID there, no money, no home, no job, and no family there.

On the other hand, why hasn't she become an American citizen by now? My brother in law married a woman from Cuba, and both her and her sister (who came to the US in a fucking row boat or some such nonsense) both became American citizens.

doubt it since she had an american education. the judge already gave her the final order. her parents should have made her a citizen. a judge will not re open the case. they are like police they stick together. if they are enemies maybe very slim chance. mexico b4 violent cambodia

Cambodia has under 1,000 homicides per year. That's like a holiday weekend in Mexico!

Countries are just imaginary lines on maps and only small minded people allow themselves to be trapped by imaginary lines.

FUCK THEM

Yes, but it's not going to be a military takeover but an economic one and guess what...they already won!

I'm not saying Cambodia is as safe as Switzerland, but as compared to Mexico it's not even close. Plus they use the US dollar in Cambodia as opposed to the ever-shrinking Mexican Peso.

I do prefer Mexican food to Cambodian, so you got me there.
