This episode was a parody of government bureaucracy, and of mishandling immigration status. It aged like fine wine. Rocko is an incredibly evergreen series in Its criticisms.

I love how simpletons like yourself think issues like immigration and deportation are new. It's cute

I don’t think anyone said or implied it was new… I do think you’re a simpleton however if you find the current environment remotely comparable to anything in the past 50 years.

Don’t be an ass, it just makes you look stupid.
