David O'Shea reports on the fate of nearly 200 Cambodian refugees whose parents fled the killing fields of the Khmer Rouge.
They were granted safe haven in the United States, and have spent most of their life there.
But under a policy introduced by former US President Bill Clinton and enthusiastically adopted by George W Bush, refugees who have broken the law are being plucked out of their American lives and deported to Cambodia.
As O'Shea reports in his story - despite the unfamiliar surroundings, and often not even being able to speak the language, they're trying to make the most of life in their new country.
