Obama to decide Justin Beiber fate

[Ja Rhule]

Washington (AFP) - As if Barack Obama didn't have enough problems to deal with already, his administration now is being asked to weigh in on the grave matter of Justin Bieber.

By mid-day Wednesday (1700 GMT), a petition on the White House website calling for the deportation of the Canadian-born teen idol had garnered 103,000 names -- easily surpassing the threshold of 100,000 signatures required for presidential consideration.

"We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture," says the petition, created by one "J.A." in Detroit last Thursday, the day Bieber was busted in Miami Beach for impaired driving and illegal drag racing in a flashy Italian sports car.

"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 nation's youth. We the people would like to remove Justin Bieber from our society."

There was no immediate comment from the White House, whose website hosts citizens' petitions on other, more heady issues such as the legalization of marijuana and a pardon for National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden.

Nor was there comment from Bieber himself, who according to gossip websites was back in Los Angeles on Wednesday after a weekend beach break in Panama.

Bieber, 19, is understood to be living and working in the United States under a renewable O-1 visa for entertainers, rather than a "green card" that represents permanent resident status.

Now out on bail, Bieber is due back in Miami for a court appearance on Valentine's Day, even as police in Los Angeles pursue their investigation into an earlier incident in which Bieber allegedly hurled eggs at a neighbor's house.

Too funny. I brought up the deportation question a couple weeks ago....

He hasn't been convicted of a felony so there is nothing deportable about his actions (yet).

Doesn't have to be a felony conviction to get deported:

 

Criminal Grounds

• An alien or lawful permanent residence (green card holder) is deportable if the person is convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude and was committed within 5 years of admission and the crime convicted may impose a sentence of one year or longer.
• An alien or lawful permanent residence is deportable if after admission the person is convicted of two crimes involving moral turpitude and the two crimes arose not from one single scheme of criminal conduct.
• An alien or lawful permanent residence is deportable if committing aggravated felonies at any time after admission.

Economy is poo right now and this is what we send to the POTUS' desk? God, America, wake up. He's a fuging celebrity; celebrity because enough dumbasses care to watch his shows and buy his music. The issue is not Bieber, it's us. Just stop caring and he will go away.

I don't think he has been convicted of anything

Only if they take Drake, Rihanna, and Adam Levine as well

I'm okay with that...

Jus' sayin' a conviction doesn't have to be felony.

 

Problem is not with the conviction if/when it happens. The problem is if it were you or I- just a couple of plain nobody's- and we got busted with less than an ounce, we'd be shipped out tomorrow.

pay Beiber the new min wage. that will learn him

[Mr. Scot]

Is the death penalty an option?

Is the death penalty an option?

 

A judge lets him walk from drag racing with drugs and alcohol in his system and somebody is going to die.... sooner or later...
