Over 100k Signatures, Will White House Response ‘Deport Justin Bieber’ Petition??

A petition calling for the deportation of Justin Bieber surpassed the 100,000 signature threshold, meaning the White House will, by its own rules, issue a response, reports CNN.

The petition was created less than a week ago by haters and quickly amassed the required signatures long before the 30 day deadline for the “We the People” petition program.

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:

Deport Justin Bieber and revoke his green card.

We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture. We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive, and drug abusing, Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked. He is not only threatening the safety of our people but he is also a terrible influence on our nations youth. We the people would like to remove Justin Bieber from our society.

As of 9 am. EST Thursday, it had nearly 190,000 signatures.

Will the White House actually look at it?

Via CNN:

State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki was asked about the Bieber deportation issue Wednesday in the daily press briefing. She said the petition program doesn’t necessarily mean action would be taken but it’s rather “an opportunity for the voices of the American people” to be heard.

But the terms of the program, as stated on the White House website, says if a petition meets the 100,000 signature threshold, “it will be reviewed by the administration and we will issue a response.”

Psaki said she would check and see what the criteria was for violating a visa, but noted that individual visa cases are confidential.

The White House has drastically cut back on the number of responses it actually issued in the past year. The Washington Times reports that in the final six months of 2013, only one new petition received a response.

To be honest, I wonder why people are blowing what Justin did out of proportion. I mean, I think we all get that what he did was not at all but things are getting out of hand and I don´t get this deportation BS. Justin is human and he messed up, but so what? It´s nott easy being in the public eye and have all that happen infront of people. How many people drag race and DUI? Way too many! So why is everyone blowing Justin´s case up.

70,000 Haters Have Signed a Petition to Deport Justin Bieber!!

More than 70,000 people have signed a petition and urging the Obama administration to revoke Justin’s US residency status and send him back to his native Canada.

Since Justin’s not an American citizen — and has said he never plans on becoming one — outraged Americans/haters have proposed a solution to just go ahead and deport him.

Here’s what the petition says:

We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture. We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive, and drug abusing, Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked. He is not only threatening the safety of our people but he is also a terrible influence on our nations youth. We the people would like to remove Justin Bieber from our society.

Accorting to TIME, fortunately one cannot simply deport Justin. Plus, the White House already receives tons of petitions. Justin resides in the US on an O-1 visa, which is reserved for “individuals with an extraordinary ability in the arts or extraordinary achievement in motion picture or television industry.”

According to federal law, only violent crimes and sentences longer than 1 year result in a re-evaluation of visa status:

(g) Criminal activity. A condition of a nonimmigrant’s admission and continued stay in the United States is obedience to all laws of United States jurisdictions which prohibit the commission of crimes of violence and for which a sentence of more than one year imprisonment may be imposed. A nonimmigrant’s conviction in a jurisdiction in the United States for a crime of violence for which a sentence of more than one year imprisonment may be imposed (regardless of whether such sentence is in fact imposed) constitutes a failure to maintain status under section 241(a)(1)(C)(i) of the Act.

So, haters, try not to get your hopes up. How about getting a petition together to put stricter laws out on paparazzi and fake news journalists who publish lies all day long. Cause I’m sure these "70,000" people never have in one way or another, at one moment or a future time screwed up in their lives. Famous or not.  I think the best idols are the ones that makes mistakes. I mean who wants to look up to someone perfect? Isn’t it good to show youth that not everyone is perfect? There are more major issues in the U.S. then what Justin has done. People shoudl start reconsidering their priorities.

Attorney Says: "Justin Bieber Can Be Deported Back To Canada"!!

As Justin Bieber’s legal troubles grow, so does the possibility that immigration officials could send him back to his native country,  Canada.

New York City immigration attorney Michael Wildes told ABC News:

Justin’s arrest early Thursday morning in Miami Beach for allegedly drag racing and driving under the influence (DUI — first-degree misdemeanors) are not necessarily crimes that would lead to deportation.

But if ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) wanted to go after him, they could make a case. That and the eggs is opening files in multiple government agencies and states, and could make it more likely.

The "eggs" he referred to is the ongoing LA police investigation into a neighbor’s accusation that Justin threw eggs at his house and caused $20,000 worth of damage.

Police searched his Calabasas home Jan. 14 for any connection between him and the egg-tossing incident and arrested his friend Lil Za, for alleged drug possession during the search. Justin has not been charged in the egg-throwing incident, but he could face a felony charge of vandalism if evidence indicates he was the culprit.

The ball is in Justin´s court on how he chooses to behave. These are pretty tough times for Justin.
