Because Trump’s America can’t stop dropping into the depths of hell, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which was once a serious arm of the federal government, is in the early stages of a new reality show that will have immigrants competing for a fast-track to citizenship.
O-M-G!
THIS CAN’T BE LIFE.
According to the Daily Mail, Rob Worsoff, the producer of Duck Dynasty (of course the producer of Duck Dynasty would be involved in this) approached Kristi Noem, the head of DHS, about the idea, and if you know anything about Kristi Noem then you know that she loves herself some Kristi Noem.
Since being appointed as the head of DHS, Noem has budgeted some $200 million for anti-immigration ads all starring her. She’s so daft that she had trouble explaining why she’s not spent money that was allotted for the care of immigrants during a recent congressional hearing on why the Department of Homeland Security keeps making videos.
So it’s fitting that Noem is now allowing the Department of Homeland Security would allow the immigrants’ citizenship to be trivialized into a reality show.
Worsoff told the Daily Mail that he “…envisions celebrity immigrant hosts welcoming immigrants who would then undertake competitions across the country, such as digging clams in Maine or rafting in Colorado.”
I can’t even keep typing. Seriously. In the movie of America, this would be the part where you, the viewer, would get up and walk out, because this part would just be too grotesque to continue. This exploitative and insensitive path to citizenship is not only inhumane, it’s dehumanizing.
And you know who doesn’t care? Trump’s America. Because in the Venn diagram of deplorable and disgusting people, the overlap is between Trump voters and watchers of Duck Dynasty.
“Tricia McLaughlin, the top spokesperson for DHS, acknowledged that agency staff are reviewing this pitch and had a call with the producer last week. She insisted Noem is yet to be briefed on the initiative,” the Daily Mail reports.
“However, DailyMail.com has confirmed that Noem supports the project and wants to proceed.”
McLaughlin told the Daily Mail: “I think it’s a good idea.”
Of course Noem is on board. Noem has used her position within DHS to promote herself, so you think she’s not going to have some role in a reality show based on her department when she literally can’t stop fawning over the reality-TV-show-host-turned-president?
Worsoff is already pitching possible celebrity immigrants like “Colombian-born Sofía Vergara, Canadian Ryan Reynolds and Mila Kunis, who hails from Ukraine, as possible hosts who’d greet each contestant with a welcome gift—a personalized baseball glove,” the Daily Mail reports.
“This is not, ‘Hey, if you lose, we are shipping you out on a boat out of the country,’” Worsoff told the Daily Mail. He also noted that this would not be an immigrant version of The Hunger Games.
He also noted that he pitched this idea way back when Obama was in office, but the best president to ever do it kindly told him to kick rocks.
Worsoff would call the show The American, which would also be the name of the train that would take them around the country for the various competitions.
“I’m not affiliated with any political ideology. As an immigrant myself, I am merely trying to make a show that celebrates the immigration process, celebrates what it means to be American and have a national conversation about what it means to be American, through the eyes of the people who want it most,” he told the Daily Mail.
Please, someone find the flux capacitor so we can get out of this alternative America.
