According to the Daily Mail, TV producer Rob Worsoff pitched "The American," which would see people compete in challenges to win U.S. citizenship.

The Department of Homeland Security is pushing back on a report that its boss, Kristi Noem, is backing a reality TV show where illegal immigrants compete for U.S. citizenship — but admits it’s being looked at.

Each episode of the proposed show would feature a “heritage challenge,” an “elimination challenge,” a “town hall meeting” and a “final vote.”
