Reality show will be 'Hunger Games' for immigration: Producer
Share this @internewscast.com

A reality show producer has proposed a unique concept to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) involving a competition where immigrants vie for quicker legal status. 

Producer Rob Worsoff told NewsNation’s Elizabeth Vargas that the show will be a “celebration of America in the most positive possible way.” 

He emphasized that it is not meant to be “’Hunger Games’ for migrants.” 

Worsoff said contestants will already be in the immigration system but would only compete for earlier processing. 

“All I’m offering is to jump to the front of the line,” he added.

The producer approached the administrations of Obama, Biden, and Trump with the concept, receiving positive feedback from all three, though it never materialized. 

Participants would kick off their journey at Ellis Island in New York, then travel by train to new destinations each episode to tackle challenges that represent classic American experiences, like assembling cars in Detroit. 

Worsoff said the show would be made “respectfully and safely.” 

“We’re going to put a face to all these people who are on this journey and want nothing more than to be a part of this country, and we’re going to humanize them, and we’re going to celebrate them,” he told Vargas.
