LOS ANGELES -- Forget "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire."

Instead try who wants to be in America -- legally.

A Spanish-language reality TV show is offering contestants an unusual prize -- immigration lawyers. The lawyers will help the winners get green cards for legal U.S. residency.

The program, called "Win the Green," began airing last month on stations in Los Angeles, San Diego, Houston and Dallas. Production manager Adrian Vallarino told the LA Times the show features "Fear Factor" type stunts.

Contestants have to do things like gulping down live tequila worms and jumping between two speeding 18-wheelers. While the winner gets the services of an immigration attorney -- there's no guarantee of a green card.
