The Department of Homeland Security is reviewing a proposal for a reality TV show titled The American in which immigrants compete to win U.S. citizenship. Producer Rob Worsoff (Duck Dynasty, The Millionaire Matchmaker) insists the idea is “not mean-spirited” but a “celebration of what it means to be… well… American – At a time when our morale is at an all-time low.” The Canadian immigrant adds that he envisions the show as a competition involving American-themed tasks. He clarified any setbacks within the competition would not impact real-life citizenship applications. A DHS rep says “each proposal undergoes a thorough vetting process prior to denial or approval.” (THR)
