Show seeks to love match migrants and U.S. citizens

PHOENIX (Reuters) - A Los Angeles company is touting a new reality game show called "Who Wants to Marry a U.S. Citizen" that aims to create televised matrimony between legal citizens and immigrants who have temporary visas.

The show's backers at Morusa Media hope to make a sort of love match between reality TV and a national obsession with immigration. But the producers make no promise that a marriage will occur or lead to U.S. citizenship.

Show creator Adrian Martinez said that Morusa Media has not yet found a network to produce or air the show, but he is currently in talks with one cable TV network and already has signed up contestants for six episodes.

"It's this generation's 'Dating Game,' but with a twist -- it aims to show love knows no borders," Martinez told Reuters.

As in the "Dating Game," which ran on network TV for more than two decades starting in the 1960s, a single U.S. citizen gets to ask contestants various questions. Toward the end of the show, he or she decides which one to select as a potential mate.

So far, most of the contestants are Hispanic immigrants, although at least one is from the Philippines, Martinez said.

In a statement, Morusa said that while it does not guarantee marriage or legal status, it will pay for a wedding party and honeymoon should a marriage result.

"We're just out to play matchmaker," said the show's host, Angelo Gonzales. "There are thousands of U.S. citizens seeking a spouse, and just as many immigrants seeking the same. So we want to make it a win-win situation for all involved."

Propaganda and blastphemy. The OBL and pro-illegal crowds will do and say anything to undermine our culture. Nothing is sacred anymore. What a bunch of crap.

"We're just out to play matchmaker," said the show's host, Angelo Gonzales. "There are thousands of U.S. citizens seeking a spouse, and just as many immigrants seeking the same. So we want to make it a win-win situation for all involved."

What they really mean is that they want to gain citizenship here and will probably end up dumping their spouses afterwards. Its just a ploy to continue marriage fraud in order to gain citizenship.

I agree that this show would be a bunch of crap, although maybe it would not be so bad. Just a quick though:

I show like this may push this crap more into the public eye and make more people aware of how out of control this issue is. There are a great deal of people out there that are sick of this and something like that might push them over the edge of just sitting on their hands and actually join in and do something about it.

Or maybe its just wishful thinking.

It apparently knows no common sense either.

Well, if they're trying to match U.S. citizens with illegal aliens (which appears to be what they're doing), I think some sort of "laws" should be looked into regarding this. It seems to be a form of aiding and abetting illegal activity.

There will be U.S. citizens marrying illegal aliens and some of these illegal aliens will already have a husband or wife and even children back in their home country.

When that happens I hope that the U.S. citizen will be able to sue the show, the producers, the host and all of them, the whole nine yards.
