White House to Address Petition to Deport Justin Bieber

White House to Address Petition to Deport Justin Bieber






Justin Bieber's recent behavioral missteps are beginning to demand some very high-level attention, as a petition to deport the Canadian pop star from the United States may soon receive a response from the White House. At a press conference on Friday, White House spokesman Jay Carney was asked whether the president would address the "We the People" petition, which has garnered nearly 236,000 signatures.

That's what the law should follow.

You can't deport him just because you find him annoying.

I don't expect the white house to take this very seriously. I expect something along the lines of the death star petition.

"You're fucking kidding, right?" is a valid response.

I saw a graphic on fb the other night that said.. there's 200, 000 or more sigs to deport Justin Bieber but only 500 signatures on .. here it is..



This meme is 2 hours old. Since then, at least 350 folks have signed the WV petition, which we DO appreciate! However, in the previous ten days, the petition did gather less than 500 signatures. It took three days for the Bieber petition to cross 100k, which means that the White House will respond to it at some point in the near future.

this looks and smells like a really serious example of the double standard/white privilege that has seen so much attention of late. So what if he has money? He's disruptive, breaks the law and is setting really bad examples for our youth.

He should be sent home to Canada, forced to sell his houses here and entry revoked until he's 30 or something like that. The little jerk is still going to make money, but he should be sent back into the youtube.

he make his grand return to the US with 500,000,000 people bowing and calling him Lord, the return of Christ... then the world ends.

No... he can't come back till he's 65.

and give the Kardashians to Canada. After all, we could always stash the biebs in jail. He is heading there sooner or later anyway.

It's really too bad that stupidity isn't literally painful.
