The classic "Goobacks" episode of South Park about immigrants from the year 4035 who travel back through time from a future of over population, poverty, and unemployment where all ethnic groups and languages have merged into one. What starts off as a town in shock and awe after the discovery that time travel is possible after a person from the future walks out of a Terminator style portal in the middle of the desert before getting hit by car after scrambling around the highway. Even more shocking is the revelation by this visitor that he had traveled back through time looking for work so that he could put money into a savings account to feed his family in the future.
Once the future immigrant finds a job it’s not long until an endless stream of people from the future start coming through the time portal looking to do the same. Willing to work for next to nothing bean counters quickly realize that laying off citizen laborers and paying the immigrants less money is good for their bottom line. This triggers a backlash by angry rednecks that band together and send an ambassador to the no spin zone to tell Bill O’Reilly “They Took Our Jobs!” only to be met by an aging hippie liberal advocating for greater acceptance of who anti future immigration people begin to call “Goobacks” because of a gooey slime new arrivals are covered in as a side effect of the time portal.
After the O’Reilly Factor debate fails to solve any problems pissed off unemployed men decide to become homosexuals and start having sex with one another so that there won’t be any people in the future to come back and take their job. All the while being called "timesists", a word similar to racist, but against people from the future
