Critics Shred ‘Unbelievably Inhumanely Cruel' Entertainment Idea Pitched To DHS
HuffPost
“It’s Hunger Games for green cards, human struggle turned into entertainment for billionaires. Dystopian. Dehumanizing. Disgraceful," one critic railed.
A report that the Department of Homeland Security is considering a pitch for a reality TV show — in which 12 immigrants would compete against each other in multiple tasks in a bid to gain U.S. citizenship — has drawn fierce blowback on social media.
Critics condemned the proposed show — which DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told HuffPost is only in the “very beginning stages” of being vetted by the department ― as “unbelievably inhumanely cruel,” “sick” and “macabre.”
“It’s Hunger Games for green cards, human struggle turned into entertainment for billionaires. Dystopian. Dehumanizing. Disgraceful,” wrote one critic on Bluesky.
“What the fuck kind of Hunger Games shit is this…” asked another on X, the Elon Musk-owned platform formerly named Twitter.
They added: “Remember when we were civilized… even helping humanity?”
