Justin Bieber’s had a hard few months. After being arrested in two countries (the United States for driving under the influence and Canada for assault), a petition to deport the pop singer back to Canada has garnered more than 200,000 signatures.

“We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture,” the petition reads in part. “We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive and drug abusing, Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked.”

The petition was filed on the White House’s We the People site. Any petitions garnering more than 100,000 signatures must get a response of some sort from the White House. (ABC News)
