DHS Wants a Reality Show Where Immigrants Compete for Citizenship

  • Federal authorities are considering a reality television program called "The American," in which immigrants would compete for a chance to obtain U.S. Citizenship.
  • The concept originated from producer Rob Worsoff, who has pitched it since the Obama administration, aiming to create a hopeful immigration competition.
  • Contestants, all legal immigrants, would travel by train to face regional challenges reflecting American traditions, with elimination reducing train seats.
  • DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin confirmed the show remains under early vetting without official approval, and Secretary Kristi Noem has not reviewed the proposal.
  • The proposal generated criticism over its tone and timing amid past DHS controversies, and the project has not yet materialized as a formal production.
