The unsubstantiated story is that DHS has been pitched a reality TV show where illegals compete on various state related challenges to win citizenship. The rumor was first printed by the Daily Mail and directly linked DHS Director, Kristi Noem to the project. Here
As irresistible as the fake story has been to the usual suspects of the MSM, even Snopes couldn’t find anyone purportedly involved to confirm the garbage hit piece.
The reporting by the Daily Mail is completely false, and an affront to respectable journalism. Secretary Noem has not “backed” or even reviewed the pitch of any scripted or reality show. The Department of Homeland Security receives hundreds of television show pitches a year, ranging from documentaries surrounding ICE and CBP border operation to white collar investigations by HSI. Each proposal undergoes a thorough vetting process prior to denial or approval. If the excuse for a reporter at the Daily Mail had even thought to ask, he would have learned the show in question is in the very beginning stages of that vetting process and has not received approval or denial by staff.

yet a nuther freak show to compete with the midgets and The 1,000 pound Sisters…
There are some interesting possibilities here. One judas goat (undercover ICE) leads 100 illegal competitors into the competition, the goat wins the rigged game, the rest ‘win’ a plane ride.
Running Alien with a Richard Dawson impersonator….
What ever Trump official dropped this little nugget has to keep it up. Let these news outlets expose their own stupidity. Too funny.
“…the show in question is in the very beginning stages of that vetting process…”
It should never have gotten that far, Tricia. DHS os tjete to do a deadly serious job, not waste time on stupid TV show pitches. Do you not realize that they will pitch any and every stupid, insulting idea just so a journo can report that DHS is looking at it? And very likely they’ll try their best to hang it around former reality star Trump’s neck. I bet PDT had no idea this shit-pitching was going on. Heads need to roll.
People are being robbed, injured and killed by illegals. There is nothing funny or entertaining about that. Cut the shit and do your job, DHS.

Agreed. And if it is the Trump admin then they really need to stop. He made it, he’s President, he needs to act like it.
A 53 year old woman who heads a powerful federal agency but dresses like a teenager trying to create a living action doll figure for herself has consequences: when you act that brainless, people will believe anything stupid said about you. Noem needs to go.
