ABC greenlights sitcom about undocumented family living in US
Fox News, Sep 21, 2017, Brian Flood

ABC has greenlit a new sitcom tentatively titled "Sanctuary Family" about an undocumented family living in the U.S.

The network says the show will follow the pandemonium that unfolds when a married couple allows their undocumented nanny and her family to live with them. The guests put a strain on the marriage of the host family but they eventually learn that “the differences both families have aren’t as significant as their similarities,” according to the description provided by ABC.

Undocumented immigrants are foreign-born people who don’t have a legal right to be or remain in the United States and the country is currently home to over 11 million of them, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals act, known as DACA, is an Obama-era executive order that was signed in 2012 and allows certain youngsters to stick around, even if they’re undocumented. The fate of DACA is currently uncertain, as Trump has said he'll halt the program if Congress doesn't act to continue it.

I heard that CBS is going to have a new sitcom called "Those Darn Undocumenteds" the hilarious story of an  illegal alien family who cross the border, latch onto the welfare state, and commit a number of violent crimes including murder. The family has a number of children, boys and girls.  The boys join violent drug gangs.  The girls get pregnant at the age of 13.
NBC is going to have a sitcom called "Those Lovable Jihadis" a comedy about some Muslim "refugees" who live in a mostly non-Muslim large American city. The Jihadis, while ostensibly looking like normal Americans, make bombs in their basement and occasionally set them off in public places.  A regular guest star on the series will be the character of an Imam who preaches about killing Jews and slaughtering infidels at the mosque the Jihadi family faithfully attend. 
A  regular character in the form of an FBI agent who suspects the family of being terrorists will be negatively depicted as a typical Islamophobic white male.
Both sitcoms will be a side-splitting, laugh riots.  Or at least  riots.

Lazy Hollywood recycling the same shit over and over. I liked this premise when it was called "My Favorite Martian". Somewhat liked it when they recycled it the first time and called it "Alf". This sounds like tired garbage.
