Who wants to marry a U.S. citizen? - Reality Show

Filed in archive Latin Television on November 30, 2007

When you think reality shows have gone too far... they reach an even lower level! Now it's the immigrants turn:

There's a new reality TV show, produced by Morusa Media, called "Who wants to marry a U.S. citizen?" that aims at creating marriages between U.S. citizens and immigrants who have temporary visas. The show is already generating mix reaction from some who say the show hurts the immigration process. However, others praise the match-making concept.

"We're out to prove love knows no borders," says Adrian Martinez, creator of the show. "Besides, that's what America is all about - a multi-cultural nation."

This is how it goes: an American Bachelorette chooses her future husband between 3 immigrants with temporary visas. "Who wants to marry a U.S. citizen?" is "The Bachelorette" with green cards.

Of course, there's no guarantee the marriage will happen; and we all know how marriages born from this kind of shows have gone. Besides, it's so romantic to find a husband that wants to marry you in order to gain legal citizenship, isn't it?

Meh. Reality TV is simply a bottomless garbage can.
