She's been called 'ICE Barbie' for treating her Cabinet position like a TV production, but now Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is pushing for an actual reality show pitting immigrants against each other 'for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship'.
It may sound like a joke, but the idea is for real and is outlined in a 35-page program pitch put together in coordination with the DHS secretary, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Noem is even offering up officials from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to tally votes for the made-for-TV contest.
The pitch comes from Rob Worsoff, a writer and producer known for Duck Dynasty, the A&E reality show about a Louisiana family and its hunting empire, and Bravo's Millionaire Matchmaker.
The proposed series is called The American, named after the train that contestants would ride around the country, competing in regionally specific 'cultural' contests such as rolling logs in Wisconsin.
It would lead to a grand finale with the winner getting sworn in on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.
'Along the way, we will be reminded what it means to be American ā through the eyes of the people who want it most,' reads Worsoff's pitch.
Worsoff ā who himself was born in Canada ā said: 'Iām not affiliated with any political ideology. As an immigrant myself, I am merely trying to make a show that celebrates the immigration process, celebrate 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.'
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.

Closing sentence: "Noem is yet to be briefed on the initiative."
Freaking journalism majors.
Barbie? Did she dye her hair blonde? What rubbish. Is every attractive woman a “Barbie”?
I’d settle for a contest where immigrants point our logic fallacies in the MSM.
I suggest that Noem quash this silly idea when she finally hears about it.
As long as the networks pay for it, it sounds great.
And run the list of people who want to be on the show through ICE first.
Hard to take them seriously when they besmirch her in the headline.
Barbie girl. Best ever version:

Urinalist would jump all over it.
I suggested on another thread a Squid Game.
Last person alive gets citizenship.
Would substantially decrease the illegal population.
/Dark humor, folks.
You missed their context countering her claim:
“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.
However, DailyMail.com has confirmed that Noem supports the project and wants to proceed.
And McLaughlin said: ‘I think it’s a good idea.’
Worsoff’s project comes as Noem is wanting to showcase what it means to become an American, amid the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration.”
Noem clearly has the judgment of gnome.
If it was more like The Amazing Race and the ones that made it back across the border fastest weren’t apprehended, I’d consider watching an episode or 2.
Opening sentence: “Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is pushing for an actual reality show pitting immigrants against each other”
Closing sentence: “Noem is yet to be briefed on the initiative.”
Freaking journalism majors.

The writers are MORE PROPAGADISTS ADVANCING AN AGENDA than they are journalists.
I’ve got a better idea for who amongst the illegals should bet awarded citizenship.
The program would bring in thousands of illegals (perhaps millions) for the ‘contest’.
The contestants are each given guns.
But,the contest would be just a pair of illegals, going against each other. (Like in a duel).
Whoever survives the duel, would face off against the next ‘contestant’, and the survivor of that contest would go up against a new contestant...
And so on, and so forth, for the year (or years).
20 or 30 duels per day for an entire year...
And the winner at the end of the year
becomes the newest American citizen.
The audience for that show would be the highest ever, with viewers from the whole world watching. Billions of viewers per day.
Call the show “86-Illegals”.
And name the creator of the show, James Comey.
what happened to attacking “Barbie” Pam Bondi all the time here?
Have you seen BushBarbie on YouTube? Hilarious.
My first Barbie had Black hair in 1963.
What happened to the $5 million gold ticket?
Have not heard from that plan lately.
