London (B2B) - Gedung Putih akhirnya merespon permintaan warga Amerika Serikat (AS) untuk mendeportasi Justin Bieber dengan mengeluarkan pernyataan "Kami tidak akan berkomentar", demikian dilansir situs NewsSky pada Jumat.
Sejak Januari, hampir sebanyak 273 ribu warga negara AS telah membubuhkan tanda tangannya pada petisi di situs Gedung Putih yang menyerukan agar Presiden Barack Obama mencabut Kartu Hijau penyanyi kelahiran Kanada tersebut, seperti dilansir Inquisitr.
Jumlah tanda tangan dalam petisi telah melampaui 100.000 sebagai pertimbangan presiden.
Namun, Gedung Putih rupanya enggan berkomentar dengan mengutip istilah program petisi "We the People" yang memungkinkan menolak petisi-petisi tertentu
Petisi tersebut dibuat oleh seseorang berinisial JA di Detroit pada 23 Januari, hari yang sama saat Bieber ditangkap di Miami Beach karena diduga tengah mengemudi di bawah pengaruh obat dan terlibat balapan liar.
"Kami warga negara Amerika Serikat merasa disalah representasikan dalam dunia budaya pop," demikian pernyataan dalam petisi.
"Kami ingin menyaksikan Justin Bieber yang berbahaya, ugal-ugalan, merusak dan pengguna narkoba dideportasi dan Kartu Hijau-nya dicabut.
"Dia tidak hanya mengancam keselamatan warga tapi juga merupakan pengaruh buruk bagi pemuda bangsa. Kami masyarakat ingin menghilangkan Justin Bieber dari lingkungan sosial kami."
Bieber (20) diketahui tinggal dan bekerja di AS dengan menggunakan visa terbaru untuk penghibur, alih-alih menggunakan Kartu Hijau untuk status penduduk tetap.
Masih belum jelas apakah visa Bieber akan terpengaruhi oleh penahanannya. Bieber juga menghadapi tuduhan penyerangan di Kanada atas tuduhan memukul sopir limusin di bagian belakang kepala.
London - The White House has formally responded to the petition to deport Justin Bieber with a one-way ticket back to the Great White North, with a no comment position.
The announcement, which was released Friday, will likely disappoint the over-273, 000 who signed the petition “to deport Justin Bieber and revoke his green card,” but won’t trouble the 317.8 million Americans who didn’t and presumably think there are better candidates than a 20-year-old pop star for forcible expulsion.
Citing rules which allow for scenarios where it’s improper for the White House to comment, the ‘Believing in Immigration Reform’ statement read
After saying they wouldn’t interfere with Bieber’s ongoing legal cases which are now being addressed by courts, the White House laid out its case for President Obama’s immigration reform plans
The Bieber deportation petition was uploaded on the White House site January 23, the same day that the singer was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Miami Beach, Florida, while driving a Lamborghini.
In just six days petition signatures exceeded the 100,000 threshold compelling a White House response.
At the time, the petition’s creator, “J.A” from Detroit, wrote:
“We the people of the United States… 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 (sic).”
In addition to his DUI case, the singer is also charged with assault in Canada for allegedly hitting a limousine driver last December.
The case is proceeding as the equivalent of a US misdemeanor.
Bieber may also be charged for allegedly egging the house of his estranged former neighbor in Calabasas, California.
However, reports this past week suggest the singer is “ready to make some changes in his life” and is now “being more selective with his friends,” a source told E! News.
The insider added, “He wants people around him that will help him and guide him and keep him on the right path.”
