*[Enwl-eng] A new reality show could have immigrants competing against each other to earn U.S. citizenship

                        This is not how we treat something as serious and 
precious as becoming a citizen.









                        The U.S. Government Is Vetting a Reality TV Show 
Where Immigrants Would Compete to Earn Citizenship

                        The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is 
considering whether to approve a plan that would pit immigrants against each 
other in a reality TV show. The prize they're competing for: U.S. 
citizenship.

                        This is an abhorrent way to treat something as 
precious and meaningful as becoming a citizen, and disrespectful of 
immigrants.

                        Rob Worsoff, the Canadian writer and producer who 
helped create the reality show "Duck Dynasty" pitched the idea to the DHS in 
May. Shockingly, he didn't receive the response he should have — which ought 
to have been an immediate, automatic "No." Instead, he claims he's heard 
"positive feedback" from his contacts at the agency.

                        The obvious comparison is to the dystopian book and 
movie series, The Hunger Games. But Worsoff claimed his proposal was 
different. Yet a show like this would actually put very real immigrants in 
very serious danger. First, it would make their names publicly available. 
Additionally, reality shows are always edited to create "villains" and 
"heroes" out of different cast members. Both of these are extremely risky at 
a time when immigration is becoming so demonized in the U.S.

                        That doesn't even include the emotional cruelty of 
putting an immigrant through a whole series of competitions, only to tell 
them that they've lost the game. Because there would only be one "winner" 
who is sworn in as a citizen at the end of the "game."

                        Citizenship, immigrants, and the process of 
naturalization all deserve our full respect and to be taken seriously. It's 
unbelievable that the DHS hasn't rejected this plan yet. Sign the petition 
to speak out!
