So funny: Petition to deport Justin Bieber back to Canada gets 100,000+ signatures, Obama must now consider it

Normal laws don't apply to the wealthy and famous.

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

They make a good point. Would a normal non-citizen get deported for his crimes?

Obama and his party want to import more dangerous, reckless, destructive thugs not export them.

Motion denied

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

That's not how it works. Petitions (admittedly ones unfavorable to a liberal) have met the bench mark before without any response whatsoever from the White House.

Wrong.

Obama doesn't have to consider this at all. He won't even look at it. Nor should he.

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. That's not funny, it's foolish.

the president doesn't make deportation decisions. this is pointless.

We don't need his tax revenue, anyways. The U.S. is rich!

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.

This is like that whole "deport Piers Morgan" thing. It's kind of messed up to want to have someone forcibly removed from the country just because you don't like them or have different opinions than them. Let's hope nobody actually takes this shit seriously. It's just so antithetical to the American ideal.

Sounds just like what a Canadian would state in a desperate hope that the Bieber doesn't come home to haunt them.

What ideal? The one where we let in anyone and everyone so we can "celebrate" their contributions to our melting pot?

Hows that working out?

To be clear, I think this petition is stupid, but someone being deported for having disagreeable opinions to some arbitrary party is different than someone being deported for committing crimes.

Keep Justin Bieber. Deport Ted Cruz for reading Dr. Seuss on the floor of the Senate.

please don't send him back to canada... we don't want him

You are actually aware that he did break the law, right?

Whereas Piers Morgan didn't.

Other than that...great comparison....

I guess the numerous pointless threads with nothing to do with running starts at the top here at LRC........... :/

Yes, deport ted cruz. He is canadian and has repeatedly lied about giving up canadian citizenship. He hates America so much, let's ship him back, eh.

Bieber is being run out of town, state and country.
