Family Guy Episode on Immigration Gimmick.

In this Season 6 episode of Family Guy, Peter Griffin starts an anti-immigration group, but immediately changes his views after discovering he was born in Mexico. Unable to prove his American citizenship, he is labeled as an illegal immigrant and forced to work as a laborer.

I found this episode not only funny in the way that Peter’s character suddenly goes from ‘over-proud’ American to one of the many victims of society. But also the final message behind it was interesting because it gave both right wing and left wing views throughout the episode. It presented a demonstration of how (although due to a bias cause in Peter’s case) one can change his or her mind and can accept a particular group of society. Watch a part of the episode now.
