Pop star Justin Bieber could possibly be deported back to his home country of Canada if over 100,000 petition-signing Americans have their way. After the singer's recent arrest for drag racing and drunk driving, not to mention him allegedly throwing more than a dozen raw eggs at a neighbor's house causing more than $20,000 worth of damage, a WhiteHouse.gov petition was created and quickly circulated the net, garnering over 100,000 signatures in less than a week. The petition to "Deport Justin Bieber and revoke his green card" states:
"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."
Any petition created on WhiteHouse.gov garnering over 100,000 signatures within a month's time must be addressed by the White House, though it creates no sense of urgency to do so. It could take "weeks, months or even years before they get around to it" according to The Washington Times.
Bieber fans have created a counter petition in defense of the 19 year old singer.
"The whole idea of Justin Drew 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."
This second petition is moving at a glacial pace compared to that of Bieber's detractors, with only 1,700 signatures after 4 days.
