Jarbs
"Goobacks" is the seventh episode of the eighth season of the animated television series South Park. The 118th overall episode of the series, it originally aired on Comedy Central in the United States on April 28, 2004. In production order it is the season's sixth episode.
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!".
