A petition demanding that singer Justin Bieber be deported is reportedly heading to the White House. According to the Los Angeles Times, the petition created Jan. 23 on WhiteHouse.gov has reached over 100,000 signatures, which is the required amount needed in order for the Obama administration to look at it.
On the "We the People" site, it states that "If a petition meets the signature threshold [in this case 100,000], it will be reviewed by the Administration and we will issue a response."
As of Wednesday, Jan. 29 evening, the petition had a total number of 122,636. Titled, "Deport Justin Bieber and revoke his greed card," the petition reads:
"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."
There was another petition started on the same site asking the Obama administration not to deport the "Boyfriend" singer back to Canada. This one, created Jan. 25, says that the pop star has done nothing wrong and should be allowed to stay in the country. So far, the petition only has a little over a 1,000 signatures. The petition reads:
"The whole idea of Justin Bieber getting deported is completely unfair. He doesn't deserve this... With your help, we can stop it. He's human. He's not perfect. The media sees the bad side of him. Please. He's saved so many lives. Including mine. A lifesaver shouldn't deserve this."
According to the Washington Times it could take "weeks, months or even years" before the Obama administration gives the pro-deportation petition a response. However, ABC News reports that "The White House reviews and usually responds to petitions that get more than 100,000 signatures within 30 days."
The majority of petitions that are posted on "We the People" are usually serious in nature but there has been a few lighter ones in the past including changing the National Anthem to Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA" and asking the government to create a Death Star in order to increase jobs, ABC reports.
The White House responded to the Death Star proposition saying that it would take $850,000,000,000,000,000 to make it so they were going to pass on the idea.
