Justin Bieber Deportation Petition Gets White House Attention

[R Glass]

I doubt anything will happen but it would send a Great Message if it did.

The White House is gearing up its diplomatic machinery to respond to the latest international issue - a petition to deport bad boy pop star Justin Bieber.
"That response will come I'm sure relatively soon," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said today. "I don't have one now."
"On matters related to visas, I'd refer you to DHS," Carney added, referring the Department of Homeland Security.
Earlier this month, a petition was created on the White House's "We the People" site calling for the government to deport Bieber and revoke his green card. As of this afternoon, there are 223,269 signatures on this position.
The White House is required to respond to any petitions which garner more than 100,000 signatures, according to the "We the People" standards.
The petition, which was filed on the day the 19-year-old Canadian pop star was arrested for an alleged DUI and drag racing, 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."
It continues, "He is not only threatening the safety of our people but he is also a terrible influence on our nation's youth. We the people would like to remove Justin Bieber from our society."

I have mixed feelings about this '100k signatures gets you the attention of the executive' rule. There are that many bored 20 somethings on FB at any given time and with Syria, the economy, the environment, and a dozen other things each being a full time job, I begrudge even 5 minutes distraction to deal with this mixed up doofus. Even DHS doesn't need the distraction. I thought Customs and Border Patrol had pretty clearcut regs to deal with this sort of thing.

"The White House is gearing up its diplomatic machinery"

I wasn't aware the white house had any diplomatic machinery.
Maybe Canada will take Bieber back if Obama gets off his politically motivated *** and approves Keystone.
