S4 Ep29: South Park (S8E7 - Goobacks) (2004)

“In the episode, people from a poverty-stricken future year of 3045 travel back in time to find work, via a recently discovered time portal. When the boys try to earn some extra money, the time-traveling immigrants are willing to do the same work for next to nothing, causing the boys to lose their jobs. This affects the town's economy and the employment of the original occupants.
"Goobacks" serves as a satire of illegal immigration, and mocks both sides of the debate concerning it.The episode is widely remembered as the origin of the catchphrase "They took our jobs!".

“I remain a huge South Park fan, even if its politics leave me leery and its celebrity hatred seems excessive.”

"Boycotting this movie might give it more of an audience, but the rational thing to do is to stay away from any theater playing it. Regrettably, curious children will see it and be corrupted. The future of our society looks very dim after thinking what those children will do and how they will behave after this powerful entertainment virus corrupts their hearts and minds."
