An online petition on the White House's "We the People" petitions website — which urges President Barack Obama to revoke 19-year-old pop star Justin Bieber's green card and deport him back to his home country of Canada — has reached the 100,000-signature threshold needed to prompt a response from policy officials in Obama's administration.
"Every petition that crosses the threshold will be reviewed by the appropriate staff and receive a response," a White House spokeperson told Mashable in an email.
However odd and timely the Bieber petition may be (he was arrested last week on charges of driving under the influence, resisting arrest and driving with an expired license), this isn't the first bizarre, entertainment-related petition to pop up on the We the People site.
A petition in July, for example, wanted the White House to change the U.S. national anthem from "The Star-Spangled Banner" to Miley Cyrus' "Party In The U.S.A." Meanwhile, another petition demanded Obama to build the Death Star from Star Wars.
More than 118,000 people have signed the Bieber petition, which reads as such:
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 nations [sic] youth. We the people would like to remove Justin Bieber from our society.
Any We the People petition needs at least 100,000 signatures for the White House staff to review it, send it to the policy experts and provide a response to the supporters.
Conversations, joking or not in tone, about deporting Bieber aren't new, though they intensified after last week's arrest. When Bieber announced he was going to space after buying a ticket on space tourism company Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo, many jokesters hoped he would stay in space upon arriving there.
Now, people like comedian Dartanion London, who portrays Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper in this spoof below, are capitalizing on the deportation buzz:

Meanwhile Wednesday, Vevo will premiere Bieber's music video for "Confident."
