  • Essay / Deport Justin Bieber - 591

    If a man is found doing drugs, shouldn't he be punished? If a man gets caught in a drag race, shouldn't he pay the price? If an immigrant breaks a US law, shouldn't he or she be deported? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, why aren't some people punished? A current example of someone not paying the price for their crimes is Canadian pop star Justin Bieber. Justin Bieber has broken several laws and it's time for him to be deported. Justin Bieber moved to the United States on an O-1 visa. This type of visa is granted to individuals with “extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business or sports” (Navarrette). There are five main reasons why a foreigner would be deported. First, they were inadmissible at the time of entry. Second, they failed to maintain their nonimmigrant status and violated admission requirements. Third, they committed marriage fraud. Fourth, they did not register or had false documents. The last reason concerns criminal motives. (“Illegal activities punishable by expulsion”). This is where Justin Bieber comes in. Justin Bieber was recently arrested for drag racing while under the influence of drugs and alcohol in Miami. Not only was he under the influence, but he was also driving without a valid license. To top it all off, he resisted arrest (Navarrette)! If that's not a criminal motive, I don't know what is. Despite Bieber's recent behavior, there are still people who don't believe he should be deported because he was never "technically" convicted of anything criminal. However, only 26% of Americans believe this, according to the HuffPost/YouGov poll (Swanson and Foley). Although Bieber hasn't been convicted, that doesn't mean he shouldn't be deported. Just ask the 151,835 immigrants who were deported...... middle of paper ......e, John. "Believe me! We can kick Justin Bieber out." Breitbart. Breitbart, January 24, 2014. Web. February 19, 2014.
