Jon Stewart Will Produce A History Channel Documentary On U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services

Jon Stewart is producing The Naturalized, a two-hour documentary that will follow eight people as they make their way through the U.S. red tape strewn immigration and citizenship process. It will also include interviews with undocumented immigrants and those who have been deported. Innnnteresting. It will also, the channel promises, be funny:

“It’s a look at that process that is very much in Jon’s tone and manner,” says Nancy Dubuc, History’s executive VP and general manager. “The early stuff we’re seeing is quite funny but really poignant and relevant.”

We wonder if and how many Latino immigrants will be included in the documentary and how their ardent desire to steal your job might be portrayed. We’re optimistic that Jon Stewart’s special brand of sarcastic liberal bleeding heartness will work to humanize immigrants, illegal or otherwise, in the eyes of viewers. 

But what might some other people do to help the PR of Latinoid immigrants to America? We have a few suggestions:

1. Stephen Colbert will give birth to an adorable Latino immigrant who will be a mix between Elian Gonzalez, Hello Kitty and the little Mexican boy who was eaten by Hillary Clinton.

2. Barack Obama will announce that he is a Latino, specifically a Cuban from Hialeah. He will place several plaster statues of David on the White House lawn, which will have been cemented over and painted green. It will be hot (literally and otherwise), and everyone will totally love it.

3. Tortillas will continue to outsell bread, and Latina bloggers who are the product of immigrant will continued to quoted in newspapers, all in capital letters. McDonald’s will serve quesadillas, Burger King will serve medianoches and Wendy’s will serve pupusas. Anti-immigrant Americans will learn to love us because people who make fried products and/or products smothered in cheese cannot be anything but good.
