I was listening to the news when this little article came on. Apparently there is a petition to deport Justin Bieber. According to the news article this petition has garnered at least 100,000 signatures. It is mandatory that the White House respond to this petition.
The White House is required to respond to any petitions which garner more than 100,000 signatures, according to the “We the People” standards.
The petition, which was filed on the day the 19-year-old Canadian pop star was arrested for an alleged DUI and drag racing, 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.”
It continues, “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.”
The above comes from a News Agency and is not my words. What I find interesting is that this requires a White House response and it must come quickly. Now, I'm no Justin Bieber fan, if fact all I know is his name and that he sings, but am I the only one that finds a bit of irony here ? The kid is nineteen, has more money than any of us will ever see, is most likely surrounded by people telling him how great he is and is being a bit, shall we say " rebellious. " I can think of a few others in the same category and no one wants to deport them or anything.
On the other hand we have thousands of illegal people in our country and we start calling them " undocumented workers " and giving them assistance ! No great petitions for removal are being circulated that I am aware of. I hear a lot of complaining about these people, but that is about it. I do know sixteen states are giving these same " undocumented workers " in state college tuition. If these workers are " undocumented " just how much do you think they are contributing to the tax system ? Wouldn't there be a document or two to be filled out ? Oh, that's right I forgot we are overlooking a key fact, they are here illegally. Look, even Justin Bieber has a green card. Bad influence or not Justin Bieber does contribute a whole of money to tax, and generate sales in this country. I know I would be very happy with just one per cent of his annual income from selling Justin Bieber stuff. And there is a petition and a big outcry from, at last count well over 200,00 people. That's correct, over 200,000.
Why are we not starting a petition to deport, wait that is not even the right term, to send back is more like it, those that are in our country illegally ? How many signatures could we get to the affirmative. The White House must respond. If the signatures are numerous enough, the response would have to be in keeping with the will of the people. In reality all we need is a petition that the government enforce the existing law. That would do it. Or do we only enforce that stuff when the offending party makes more for themselves than they do for the business owners here in America ? I'm thinking that may have something to do with it. Just my view.
