A sensational new idea to judge potential US immigrants via a reality TV show is reportedly being weighed up by the US Department of Homeland Security. Immigration has been a hot topic in the United States since the return of Donald Trump to the Oval Office as the 46th president last January.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is weighing a reality show proposal that would pit immigrants against each other in a televised competition for US citizenship, according to multiple reports.Under Secretary Kristi Noem, the department has increasingly adopted a media-savvy approach in connection with its initiatives.DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin confirmed that discussions with the show’s producer are ongoing, emphasizing that the proposal is in the preliminary stages of review and would need to go through a “thorough” vetting process, The Wall Street Journal reports.The concept was introduced by Rob Worsoff, a producer known for his work on the reality series Duck Dynasty, according to the Daily Mail, which first reported news of the potential show.Worsoff, a Canadian immigrant himself, told The Wall Street Journal that the show aims to celebrate the values and significance of American citizenship, saying, “This is not The Hunger Games for immigrants.”McLaughlin noted that DHS receives numerous pitches annually for television programs, including documentaries about border security and investigative series.Check back to Daily Voice for updates.
