Feb 8, 2019 Okay so let's clear the air with this argument. It seems the board is 50/50 on this topic. I'm voting yes, he should be deported. Why? He has drug charges and was caught with a fully loaded gun for one. There has been illegal immigrants who have been deported that didn't get into trouble with the law. I feel it's too unconstitutional for him to get a free pass just because he was a hot rapper for like 1 year. And it isn't fair to the illegals who have been deported. Plus, if 21 really does have g--- ties, of course the ICE will be notified, and you will eventually be deported. And trying to pull the whole "racism" card won't work and is irrelevant to the current situation. His Visa ran out. He probably wouldn't qualify getting a new visa because of past criminal charges. This is just the ICE doing their job, in my opinion. The US is really cracking down on g--- members. And 21 acting all hard when he was from a good part of the UK, and his dad is a doctor for crying out loud. I just can't comprehend how 21 thought he was above the law. I think the ICE deporting him will prove a point to other illegals who have money thinking that they are above the law. It's disrespectful to the illegals who came here to provide their family a better life and didn't cause chaos and break laws, while in the States. Opinions on this? People defending him? Let's hear it from both sides from a legal standpoint.
Feb 8, 2019 no, you f---ing moron. it's being done to make an example out of him, but is not, as his counsel points out, in line even with ice's usual practices with people in his situation. he's in the midst of a common visa application and his address has been known to the immigration authorities with whom he's working.
Feb 8, 2019 I semi agree with this is being done with him to make an example for other illegals who think they’re above the law. What has he done to deserve to stay in the states? Dude has criminal charges as an illegal immigrant that will be used against him. Of course 21’s lawyer is going to say ICE didn’t properly arrest him or whatever. It’s what lawyers do. So you’re saying keep 21 savage but the illegals who got deported for bettering their families life without catching charges is cool? Just because he’s a “rapper” Also, I feel if 21 lived on the east side, you would be voting yes, he should be deported. Multiple people here see your personal grudges held against east side rappers.
Feb 8, 2019 f--- no. He’s a successful black artist who’s done tons of good things for his community. Who gives a f--- if he has a drug charge. I believe it was expunged from his record anyway. Deporting him does the public no good. None. Zero.
Feb 8, 2019 You’re actually disrespecting other illegal immigrants who have been deported that were only here to work and provide financially for their familes lives with this post. And didn’t catch drug and gun charges. 21 is giving the hardworking illegals a bad name and needs to go. Sorry bud. You’re very narrow minded with selfish thinking.
Feb 8, 2019 No, you’re not. If you asked X amount of undocumented immigrants if they thought a successful black artist should be deported, 99% will say no. You think undocumented immigrants root for other undocumented immigrants to be deported? Lol
Feb 8, 2019 Actually you are. Your “99%” statement is just an opinion of yours which makes that statement irrelevant. There’s no legit polls backing that. I’m sure a lot of undocumented immigrants don’t root for others to be deported. However, I do feel a vast majority would be furious if a “rapper” gets special treatment and a free pass to stay here after rapping about shooting people, g--- affiliation, gun/drug charges. 21 gives the good hard working illegal immigrants a bad look. So to protect the undocumented ones really trying to better them and their families life, deporting 21 would be a good look for all the good undocumented immigrants.
Feb 8, 2019 Just want to hear from someone non biased. Ummm, @JMG what do you think of this situation? Do you think 21 should be deported?
Feb 8, 2019 Coming from someone who grew up in a community with a lot of undocumented immigrants, who has friends who are undocumented, no. They would not be furious if ICE chose to leave 21 alone & allow him to live his life. That’s ecactly what they want ICE to do. Leave contributing members to society alone. 21 was literally shot living here & you’re giving him s--- for having a gun? You, of all people? Lmao
Feb 8, 2019 anyone who thinks that it is good that he is deported , has never been in contact with an actual immigrant or knows s--- about what migrants have to go through
Feb 8, 2019 Im conflicated on this one. On one side he broke several laws... The biggest was being here undocumented. He didnt even attempt to renew his visa, instead he sold drugs and guns. Yes maybe he was used as an example.. which imo was nessescary. People need to see we wont tolerate this anymore. This is only a story because hes black and successful. So lets not act like the media does not have their own an agenda. On top of that he is a fraud and a bad influence on the youth with the filth he raps about. On the other hand i dont think he simply should be deported. He should go to prison to set a bigger example.
Feb 8, 2019 No but i had a friend who was killed illegal g--- members like 21 savage. Why is this okay?
Feb 8, 2019 I wouldn’t consider 21 savage a positive contribution to the community. Are you f---ing trolling with that statement? I surely hope so. He was shot trying to live a fake lifestyle to enhance a rapping career. It actually worked out for him for a few years. How are you going to call a rapper rapping about shooting people and robbing people, negatively influencing young fans a positive asset to the community? That’s insanity and deep down you know it Enigma. Come on lol. If he wasn’t out breaking laws making terrible shooter music then he wouldn’t have been targeted by ICE. And yeah an illegal immigrant like 21 savage shouldn’t have a gun. And maybe if 21 stayed in the U.K. with his daddy who is a doctor he never would have been shot to begin with. That post of yours made zero sense.
Feb 8, 2019 Okay. Care to give an opinion on the matter? Im sure you are just gonna follow the rest of the pact because its the most popular. Ignorance at its best.
