An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Immigration is NOT for Entertainment

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The proposed reality TV show where immigrants would compete for American citizenship is deeply concerning. Reducing the profound human experience of immigration to a crass competition spectacle is dehumanizing and exploitative. It denigrates the dignity of individuals seeking a better life through an arduous process, treating their struggles as mere entertainment. Moreover, framing naturalization as a prize to be won undermines the core ideals of equal opportunity and due process that should underpin the legal path to citizenship. Rather than promote greater understanding, this premise seems calculated to sensationalize complex issues for ratings. I urge you to reject this misguided proposal and any similar concepts that commercialize vulnerable people's journeys for profit under the guise of reality TV. America's democratic principles demand an immigration system grounded in empathy, not one that turns human lives into a game show.
