Survivor: Immigration—When Did Human Rights Become a Game Show

To: Gov. Abbott, Sen. Cornyn, Lt. Gov. Patrick, Rep. Moran, Rep. Dean, Sen. Hughes, Pres. Trump, Sen. Cruz

Three meetings in, and DHS is seriously considering a reality show where immigrants compete for U.S. citizenship? This isn’t immigration policy—it’s a dystopian rerun of The Running Man, only instead of prisoners in jumpsuits, we’ve got desperate people racing through televised humiliation while the government calls it “innovation.” This is what happens when a reality TV host becomes president and fills his Cabinet with cable news personalities. Every cabinet meeting plays like The Apprentice. Every press briefing sounds like Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?—and the answer is always no. These people aren’t qualified to run a lemonade stand, let alone redesign immigration policy through a primetime spectacle with loyalty tests—or worse, a game show where the prize is basic human rights. This is grotesque. It degrades the country. And it tells the world that we’ve stopped taking law, humanity, or morality seriously. Shut it down. Cancel the show. Remind the executive branch that America is not a stage, immigrants are not contestants, and cruelty is not leadership.
