Deport Bieber petition nears success

[Jesus Malverde]

The White House petition to deport Justin Bieber is more than halfway to success, surging beyond 70,000 signatures as of noon Tuesday and putting it well on pace to reach the 100,000 needed to earn an official response.

At noon, the petition had 70,702 signatures, and there are more than three weeks to go until the Feb. 22 deadline, making it almost certain the petition will be successful in earning the right to have the White House
respond.

Experts have debated back and forth whether Mr. Bieber, a Canadian pop music singer, could have his visa revoked after being arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in a drag race last week.

Some Americans wanted to get an answer straight from the White House, so they filed an official petition with President Obama’s “We the People” project.

“We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture,” the petition says.

“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.”

1. lol!

It would be funny if it happened, but I really don't think it will. We're probably stuck with his stupid ass.

2. Hope this a trial run...

if the WH deports Beiber, I'm going to start one for Ted Cruz.

3. Get a life, people.

4. While I think the kid is a moron.. this is plain stupid..

“We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive, and drug abusing, John Lennon deported and his green card revoked".

Granted Bieber is no Lennon but still...

[Xyzse]

15. Agreed.

Can you imagine how the media would have excoriated someone like Lennon nowadays?

[SomethingFishy]

16. Right? Beiber is pretty much just a joke

but they thought Lennon was dangerous.. and they were right, Lennon had a way with words and had a way of simplifying the message..

[Xyzse]

18. I am not a fan of either of them.

I have my thoughts on John Lennon, that is besides the point.

The guy needs help, I see this petition of deporting him a joke, and can only make him worse.
Hopefully he shapes up.

21. He got drunk and drove twice the speed limit on a public road.

Why should we tolerate him? I think he is an undesirable with his behavior so let him go rot in the rest of the world. We got enough assholes who we HAVE to keep.

[Oilwellian]

23. Who is next on your undesirable list?

What shall we ever do with all of the intolerable undesirables? And you're correct, we got enough assholes.

5. Better would be a petition to Disney et al ...

.... to cease and desist from foisting talentless 'tweens on us and calling them 'idols' and 'stars' and turning our own kids' brains to mush while emptying their pockets ....

[Finnmccool]

6. I'm I the only one who feels sorry for him?

His mother gets him the Xanax, his father blocks roads so he can drag race drunk. This kid doesn't have a chance with parents like that.

[tridim]

7. He'll probably overdose long before he's deported.

He'll do a stint in rehab and be reborn as a hero because he's so "strong".

[cthulu2016]

8. And this is exciting how???

At heart, it is some crackpot Joe Arpaio type bullshit.

[Jesus Malverde]

9. It's more amusing than exciting...

It does have some cultural xenophobia attached rejecting the Belibers as you pointed out.

10. Leocal v Ashcroft...nt

11. So you're saying that you don't want him either?

[SidDithers]

12. Shit no. You keep him...

Hell, I'd contribute to his defense, if it means he'll stay in Florida.

13. trashing thread.

14. Awesome Possum.

[former9thward]

17. He can't be deported.

He is here legally. Only can be deported if you commit a crime of "moral turpitude." No, DUI is not it. And no egging a house doesn't meet the standard either.

[Skidmore]

19. Well, he's definitely jumped a shark.

My tween granddaughter rolls her eyes and pronounces him "over" and her little sister solemnly nods in agreement. They have moved on to One Direction for several months now. The Beibs needs to take a look at the careers of those like him who have gone before.

[yuiyoshida]

20. Do it!!

Send him to Siberia for a concert!!

[okaawhatever]

22. The right wingers are pushing this. They probably want to set a very low bar for deportation so they

can get their sheriff buddies to start arresting more "people who don't look very American". Of course not all right wingers will sign on because Beiber is both rich and white.
