DHS Exploring Reality TV Show Where Migrants Compete For Citizenship

The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly reviewing a pitch for a reality TV show in which immigrants compete for the chance to fast-track their path to U.S. citizenship.

Newsweek contacted DHS for comment via email outside of normal office hours on Friday.

President Donald Trump's administration has shut down asylum as it looks to remove millions of migrants without legal status as part of a mass deportation policy. If the plan proceeds, it would be one of the two new methods to obtain a U.S. citizenship under the administration.
