White House responds to Justin Bieber deportation petition
National Post ^ | 04/21/2014

The White House has no comment on Justin Bieber.

On Sunday, the White House issued a response to the official petition to deport Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber that had gathered more than 270,000 signatures, writing, “Sorry to disappoint, but we won’t be commenting on this one.”

The White House instituted a 100,000-signature requirement — only so many signatories would merit an official reponse to a petition — after its website was flooded with spoof petitions, including one demanding that America build an “$850,000,000,000,000,000, Star Wars-style Death Star.” Sunday’s indirect response to the Bieber issue was “to avoid the appearance of improper influence.”

“We’ll leave it to others to comment on Mr. Bieber’s case,” read the response to the petition, which was started after Bieber’s Jan. 23 arrest for driving under the influence in Miami, “but we’re glad you care about immigration issues. Because our current system is broken. Too many employers game the system by hiring undocumented workers, and 11 million people are living in the shadows.”

The response, titled “Believing in immigration reform,” didn’t shy away from a few cheeky Justin Bieber references, however. “Independent economists say immigration reform will grow our economy and shrink our deficits by almost $1 trillion in the next 20 years,” it read. “For those of you counting at home, that’s 12.5 billion concert tickets — or 100 billion copies of Mr. Bieber’s debut album.”

Try to imagine the Reagan, Ford, Nixon or Bush administration responding to this. Hell, even the Carter or Johnson people. I can’t make my mind do it.

Is “Beeber” here legally or not?

By the way, Beeber was funny on FR before Bieber was potty trained.

Indeed, our entertainment, indulgent, and debt-fueled culture has made even the highest levels of government flippant and unserious.

I’m just wondering when reality will raise its head again.

Looks like he has been crying. He is the typical, woosified male species our new country is looking for in a man. Lord help us.

The B-boy is a non-thinking potato rind.

What’s to consider about sending him (more properly - it) back to Canada?

Except for the fact that Canada - being a sensible nation - probably thinks that dork fits better over here with other idiots...like Hollywood and our Dork-O-dent.

Yet another sign that too many people have way too much time on their hands.

Osama Obama won't get involved in the Justin Beiber matter.This shouldn't surprise anyone.After all,he refused to get involved in either the case of his Aunt Zetuni or his Uncle Omar,both citizens of the Republic of Kenya.Both had,over the last decade or so,been served with at least one deportation order by a Federal judge (and I think that at least one of them had more than one deportation order) but neither of them obeyed the order(s) issued to them.But in the last few years,as if by magic,they were both given Green Cards by the very same agency that ordered them both deported at least once.And Aunt Zetuni even got to live in public housing,was given an EBT card and a Medicaid card.All the evidence suggests that she lived entirely off of Joe Taxpayer during her 10,or so,years here.Don't know what Uncle Omar's financial setup is but I think I can guess.

Miraculous....simply miraculous.

The unofficial response was, “The White House would like to get wee-weed up with Justin.”

In the early 60’s the Russians used to shoot dogs into orbit.
It is now 2014, Why can we not shoot Bieber into orbit?
