Bieber has just surrendered to police in Toronto

INS officials have every right to prevent him re-entering the US.

The dude threw eggs at a rich persons house. Where will it end? Deport his @$$.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that you're not as informed about American immigration law as you might think you are. Here's a hint: the INS ceased to exist over a decade ago.

I've known a few Cdns who, with draconian border crossing rules enacted since 911, can no longer travel to the USA. I'm talking minor infringements from highschool like MJ possession (maybe laws will be relaxed for entry into Colorado, har).

So, assuming Beiber is convicted of his crimes, which are of significantly greater risk to the American public then marijuana possession, he should be disallowed into the USA, if only to protect the masses from his inane antics and performances. But first, he has to wait in line at security and strip searched by the TSA for a few hours, before he's sent packing.

Why would a Canadian need "polical asylum" in Canada? He just simply crosses the border.

He will receive political asylum by his mentor, Mayor Rob Ford of Toronto!

Call me crazy but I think he incredibly good-looking. He can stay here as long as he wants. I want to run my hands through his hair.

Agreed. This isn't even remotely funny, and I consider Beiber to be a huge tool. This was created by the same group of people making petitions for the president to resign, for texas to secede from the union, etc. It's nothing but a waste of time.

No, it is amusing. A total of 10 minutes of time of some very low level staffer will be taken to make the decision to ignore the petition.

I bet things like championship teams visiting the White House really piss you off. That actually does take up time of POTUS.

Lots of illegals arrested each year, few deported is my guess. Maybe a petition like this should be posted for every illegal who drives drunk.

Of course Bieber is here legally although I question if he is really "talented" as required under his visa category. (Yes I do not care for his music)

It would be a hate crime to deport him. He is gay and the activist groups would love to spin it that way.

You are kidding right?

Obama has deported more criminally convicted illegals than any President. Over 2M so far, which is more than Bush deported in 8 years!

From yesterday's paper:

And from

under Obama, the deportation of convicted criminals has been a focus and a point of pride for the administration. However, as immigrant justice advocates have often stressed, the report points out that “many of these criminal deportees are deported after a minor criminal conviction”:

In 2011, 188,382 people were deported on criminal grounds. Nearly a quarter were deported after a drug conviction, another 23% for traffic crimes, and one in five for immigration crimes. The DHS does not get very specific about these convictions, but we do know that drug crimes include marijuana possession; traffic crimes include speeding; and immigration crimes include illegal entry and re-entry.

It is likely that large numbers of people apprehended through the Criminal Alien Program are minor drug offenders and immigration offenders. Additionally, it is likely that the Criminal Alien Program is tearing apart families. One study found that, on average, people deported after being convicted of a crime had lived 14 years in the United States.

I'm all for deporting his punk a$$.

Drinking (under age too), smoking weed, speeding his car through a neighborhood after drinking, being completely disrespectful to the cops, assaulting a limo driver, using Xanax, peeing in a mop bucket in a restaurant kitchen, egging his neighbor's house etc. And that's just the stuff we know about.

Deport him!

I'm also a little tired of apologists saying "he's just 19; let him be 19." Well, that's CRAP! Being young and stupid doesn't give you the right to break laws and act like a menace.

So, what's next? He kills a pedestrian with his car? He's a big stupid a$$ and he needs someone to grab him by the shirt collar and shake some sense into that damn fool head of his.

Word to his mother.

But why is that funny? The same folks who love to rant about how the gov wastes money, etc love to then waste the gov's time.

First of all, I doubt many of those who took the time to sign the petition are major big-government critics.

Second, it is still kind of funny, and Obama has nothing but time to waste. In fact, wasting his time with stuff like this keeps him from screwing serious stuff up for a few minutes.
