Deport Justin Bieber Now — For His Own Good, And Ours

By Randall Burns

Justin Bieber and a bunch of his friends.

Esther Yu-Hsi Lee published on January 23, 2014 a ThinkProgress.com article titled "Criminal Charges Could Get Justin Bieber Deported" showing how unfair the immigration justice system is because lots of legal immigrants get deported for minor issues — and Bieber most likely will be allowed to stay in the USA. I agree preferential treatment for celebrities and the wealthy is grossly unfair.

However, I think the right thing to do is to deport Bieber pronto.

I have previously argued for treating elite substance issues more carefully. Bieber is another example. Having prominent young people in the public eye with severe substance issues has important cultural ramifications — and in this case, we might actually be able to do something about it.

I would treat minor possession charges less harshly than today-but driving while intoxicated is a serious issue. It isn’t like Bieber needs more money.

I think it is best for him and the American people if he is allowed to quietly make his personal mistakes — and let someone else step into the limelight.
