“Sorry to disappoint, but we won’t be commenting on this one," The White House said in a statement.
"The We the People terms of participation state that, 'to avoid the appearance of improper influence, the White House may decline to address certain procurement, law enforcement, adjudicatory, or similar matters properly within the jurisdiction of federal departments or agencies, federal courts, or state and local government in its response to a petition.'
"So we'll leave it to others to comment on Mr. Bieber’s case, 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."
Back in January, a “Deport Justin Bieber and Revoke his Green Card” petition received over 100,000 signatures asking that the Canadian native leave the U.S. The petition was created shortly after the “Boyfriend” singer was arrested for DUI in Miami on Jan. 23. It read; “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 youth. We the people would like to remove Justin Bieber from our society.” The petition has clearly not fazed the singer over the past several months. He’s been back in the studio since, and was spotted getting cozy with on-again, off-again girlfriend Selena Gomez at Coachella in Indio, Calif., on April 13.
