Homeland security department reviewing ‘out-of-the-box’ pitch in which immigrants would compete for citizenship

How much more dystopian can it get? Hang onto your hat!

The US Department of Homeland Security is reportedly considering an “out-of-the-box” pitch to participate in a television gameshow that would have immigrants compete to obtain US citizenship.

Department spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin described the pitch to the New York Times as a “celebration of being an American” and said the show would include challenges based on American traditions.

In a statement, McLaughlin said: “We need to revive patriotism and civic duty in this country, and we’re happy to review out-of-the-box pitches. This pitch has not received approval or rejection by staff.”

    I knew it. Trumps trying to make reality his 80 sci-fi favorites. Now make sure it’s only Salvadoran prisoners or detainees in cages and we got running man. That whole LA fire was just to set the scene for Escape from LA.

    Things you get with Citizenship:
    no healthcare
    Selective Service(the draft, probably coming back before any noteworthy backlash)
    Deported at the drop of a hat

    Don’t do it people! Make countries compete for you.

    Everybody knows the quote about the Torment Nexus. The name of that show is Black Mirror.

    Also, after the “Golden Card”, who is surprised anymore?

    Lastly and most importantly: they use this shit to distract your attention from the actual dismantling of democracy and separation of powers in the USA. I bet some less clickbaity stuff is happening right now.
