Justin Bieber could go to prison for years -- very worst case scenario -- for his egg vandalism ... but he will NOT be deported to Canada.
There are stories circulating that the stakes are high for Bieber -- as in getting thrown out of the U.S.
Simply not true. The law is clear. In order to be deported for a crime, the offender must commit what is called an "aggravated" offense. The law lists the various offenses, including:
-- possession of explosive materials or firearms
-- possession of child porn
-- illicit drug trafficking
-- alien smuggling
-- threats against the President
-- Sabotage or treason
Eggs are not on the list.
There is one catch-all -- crimes involving "moral turpitude." But that's defined as crimes that shock the public conscience. Egging just doesn't cut it.
