Border Patrol Stops Mexicans Crossing Back into Mexico on 'South Park' (VIDEO)

A game of 'Border Patrol' sparked a real border crisis between Mexico and America on 'South Park' (Wed., 10PM ET on Comedy Central). The boys were playing a game, with half of them border patrol and the other half Mexicans. Butters, playing a Mexican, wound up lost.A well-meaning couple found him and tried to make him a happy Mexican by letting him do work around the house and yard, but as he wanted to go home, they dropped him off at El Pollo Loco. There he inadvertently sparked a movement among the other Mexicans to return to Mexico, where conditions are much better than in the U.S.
With workers leaving, it was hilarious seeing the border patrol decide that their job now was to keep the Mexicans from crossing the border back home. This lead to a showdown between Cartman, who joined up, and Butters, who was just trying to get home. Cartman, of course, just wanted to win the game by not letting Butters cross the border.
The show did a good job of poking fun at stereotypical perceptions of Mexicans as people who want to do all the crappy jobs that we don't want to do, and that if they were gone no one would step up to do it, as Randy discovered when the leaves were unraked.
