DHS ‘vetting’ Potential Reality TV Show Where Migrants Compete for US Citizenship; DHS Is Considering Reality Show Where Immigrants Compete for Citizenship

DHS ‘vetting’ potential reality TV show where migrants compete for US citizenship:

The Department of Homeland Security is considering being a part of a reality TV show where immigrants compete for a shot at US citizenship.

The spectacle — pitched by Canadian-born producer Rob Worsoff, whose credits include reality shows “Duck Dynasty” and “Dating Naked” — would have contestants compete in a variety of USA-themed challenges for a shot at becoming an American.

One potential challenge involves seeing who can dig out the most gold from a California mine, while another involves heading to a Detroit auto factory to assemble a Ford Model T, according to a pitch deck reviewed by the Wall Street Journal.

Worsoff said that the migrant competitors in the show would already be “in the system.”

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the concept is undergoing a “thorough vetting process” — but it is just one of hundreds of pitches the department receives and considers each year.

DHS ” receives hundreds of television show pitches a year, ranging from documentaries surrounding ICE and CBP border operations to white collar investigations by HSI,” McLaughlin posted on X.

“Each proposal undergoes a thorough vetting process prior to denial or approval. This pitch has not received approval or denial by staff.” —>READ MORE HERE

DHS Is Considering Reality Show Where Immigrants Compete for Citizenship:

‘This isn’t ‘The Hunger Games’ for immigrants,’ says the producer behind the pitch

The Department of Homeland Security is considering being part of a television show in which immigrants would compete for potential U.S. citizenship, an idea the producer pitched as far back as the Obama administration.

Department spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said she had spoken to the producer of the proposed television reality show and that consideration of the idea was ongoing.

It is “in the very beginning stages of that vetting process,” she said, adding, “Each proposal undergoes a thorough vetting process prior to denial or approval.”

The pitch for the proposed citizenship-competition show comes from Rob Worsoff, a producer and writer whose credits include the “Duck Dynasty” reality show. Worsoff, who emigrated from Canada, told The Wall Street Journal that the show is meant to be hopeful and a celebration of what it means to be an American citizen.

“This isn’t ‘The Hunger Games’ for immigrants,” Worsoff said. Immigrants already in the system would compete in various contests including potentially on American history and science. Worsoff stressed that losing contestants wouldn’t face deportation. “This is not, ‘Hey, if you lose, we are shipping you out on a boat out of the country,’” he said.

Worsoff’s outreach to DHS was earlier reported by the Daily Mail.

In a 36-page slide deck reviewed by the Journal, Worsoff’s team outlines a reality-style TV show where, in one-hour episodes, immigrants compete to prove they are the most American. In one challenge set in San Francisco, for example, immigrants would compete in a gold rush competition where they are sent into a mine to retrieve the most gold. In another episode, contestants would be divided into teams and placed on an auto assembly line in Detroit to reassemble the chassis of a model T. —>READ MORE HERE (or HERE)
