JAGGER STILL STRUGGLES ENTERING AMERICA
MICK JAGGER struggles to clear U.S. immigration every time he visits Amer ica - because of his drug conviction more than 40 years ago.
All non-U.S citizens must apply for a visa to enter the States, and are required to declare their criminal record as part of the process.
The Rolling Stones rocker was convicted of possessing marijuana in 1969 , and even though it was decades ago, he still gets questioned by immigra tion officials whenever he lands in the U.S.
Jagger tells talk show host Larry King, "It was a long time ago… Ever y time I come to the United States I still have to sort of go to the spec ial place… Even though it’s 40-something years ago. The marijuana convi ction, yes. I have to go into a room… You can’t go through - you know t he immigration line? So sometimes if there is someone that knows somethin g about how to deal with it, they can do it. But normally I have to go to a special room."
