"They took our jobs!"

South Park finally addressed the immigration and H1B abuse problems but weaseled by making the invaders "people from the future" who arrive via Terminator-style time travel. Most of the related issues were hit upon: inability to communicate, undercutting of wages and job displacement, schools caving into demands for bilingual ed, refusal to assimilate, overcrowding, early child care entrusted to strangers because they're cheap; I probably missed a few.

The angered men assembled to find a solution. "They took our jobs!" was garbled a lot but even more ridiculous was their decision to become gay, thus denying the people of the future a future. Eventually Kyle made an impassioned speech convincing everyone to work for a better future for everyone, uniting the disgruntled people into a positive effort, causing the people from the future to fade away because their need to migrate to our era disappeared.

While working in a garden Cartman pointed out that the "united working for a better future" thing was pretty gay. The others agreed, dropped their garden tools and went on with their ordinary lives.

Obviously the two ordinarily bright young writers recognize the ongoing problems but aren't bright enough to imagine anything close to a solution. Sure, it's a silly and often profane comedy, but most of the time Parker and Stone toss a proposal in whenever their show touches on real-life dilemmas. Guess they've made so much money for so long that they've finally achieved becoming out of touch with we commoners.
