Okay it's not The Onion, but it is the Daily Mail.
~~Are you insinuating something?~~
~~This has been posted several times by several outlets and the articles are all clear enough:~~
~~The Department of Homeland Security is considering collaborating on a TV show (...) that would pit immigrants against each other in a contest to get their U.S. citizenship applications fast-tracked, a department official confirmed May 16.~~
Sorry, I just can't. With this government, you just cannot know, and discussing it is pointless. Hopefully you're right and nothing shakes out. Til then 🤐
The reporting states that the proposal has been submitted and had not been approved or denied. "it is being considered" could mean anything from someone there thinking it's a good idea and running it up the chain all the way to someone thinking," what is this shit," before stamping a denial on it.
