USA. Planned television show for immigrants. Trump's administration is considering co -founded

The US National Security Department is considering co -creating a television program in which immigrants would compete for American citizenship – reports “Wall Street Journal”. The journal writes that this manufacturers proposed this idea during the time of Barack Obama's administration.

A screenwriter and producer Rob Worsoff, who emigrated to the USA, made a proposal to produce such a program Canada. Wrsoff said “WSJ” that the program is to arouse hope and is to be a celebration of what it means to be an American citizen.

“These are not the” Hunger Games “for immigrants,” said the originator. Immigrants would compete with each other in various competitions, including, for example, about American history and science.

Wrsoff said he was not in contact with the Secretary of National Security Kristi Noem and does not know if the head of the ministry knows about his idea. He emphasized that he had received positive signals on his proposal and had already conducted preliminary conversations about production with television.

The department is considering the proposal

The spokeswoman for the National Security Ministry Tricia McLaughlin said that she talked to the originator of this reality show and the possibility of cooperation with the program is being considered. She informed that the idea is at a “very initial stage of the verification process” and added that “each proposal goes through a thorough verification process before its rejection or acceptance.”

According to spokeswoman, the secretary Noem has not yet read this proposal.

McLaughlin pointed out that the ministry receives hundreds of proposals on potential television programs a year, including, for example, documentary films on operations regarding the security of the border.

Office style “tailored to television”

As “WSJ” wrote, the style of Kristi Noem's office as the head of the ministry is tailored to television and “puts publicity first, sometimes at the expense of operating activities”.

As reported by the daily, the ministry allocated over $ 200 million to an advertising campaign, in which Noem spoke to immigrants, staying in the US illegally to return to their countries.

“WSJ” noted that the program producer has already presented his idea to the American government during the Barack Obama administration, and later Joe Biden.
