deportable offenses are crimes like drug possession, failure to show up in court, or even entering the country illegally, even if you did it as a child. that law passed during the clinton presidency had the practical effect of targeting hundreds of u.s. military veterans who served as noncitizens honorably discharged, then later convicted of a crime here in the u.s. after they served their jail or prison time, the u.s. government then deported them, splitting apart families, leaving many who were willing to die for the u.s. stranded in foreign countries unable to return here. we found at least 300 of these veterans living in and around tijuana and other countries overseas. 36 different cups, in fact, unable to return. ironically, when they die, their bodies can be buried here in a u.s. national cemetery. you can see our entire series of stories plus behind the scenes footage. just go to nbcbayarea.com. guys, back to you.
