21 Savage Calls for Young Immigrants <br />to Be Granted US Citizenship.<br />The rapper and immigration advocate <br />was recently honored by the <br />National Immigration Law Center.<br />In an interview beforehand, he said citizenship should be automatic for those brought to the U.S. when they are underage.<br />Savage originally moved to the <br />United States from Great Britain <br />when he was seven years old.<br />I feel like we should be exempt. I feel like we should automatically <br />become citizens, 21 Savage, via 'The Associated Press'.<br />When you’re a child, you don’t know what’s going on. Now, you grow up and got to figure it out. Can’t get a job. Can’t get a license. I’m one of the lucky ones who became successful. It’s a lot of people who can’t, 21 Savage, via 'The Associated Press'.<br />Earlier this year, the 26-year-old <br />was arrested over a visa that <br />expired back in 2006.<br />He was then held in a <br />detention center for 10 days.<br />The case is still pending.<br />When you ain’t got no choice, you should be exempt. It’s not like I was 30, woke up and moved over here. I’ve been here since I was like seven or eight, probably younger than that. I didn’t know anything about visas and all that, 21 Savage, via 'The Associated Press'
