After dealing with the PC culture in “South Park” season 19 premiere, episode 2 titled “Where My Country Gone?” took a different direction, focusing on Donald Trump and his immigration reforms.

No one is off-limits when it comes to “South Park” – including Donald Trump and Caitlyn Jenner. “One of them was this brash asshole who just spoke his mind”. We thought it was amusing. The reality star speeds away with Kyle in the passenger seat, only to run over and kill a passerby (who looks a lot like Bill Clinton, dontcha think?) crossing the street. It was a joke.
“I propose we f–k them all to death”, he told CNN when asked how he plans to deal with the illegal immigrants who are arriving in South Park in droves to escape Donald Trump’s rule. “He kept gaining momentum”, the Canadian says. The press predictably jumped to cover his tweet, creating yet another distraction from any real issues that Mr. Trump might be questioned about. “We weren’t paying attention We weren’t paying attention!”
On Wednesday night’s “Where My Country Gone?” recurring character Mr. Garrison was upset about Canadian immigrants and was fired from his position as a teacher the elementary school after espousing his views. Mr. Garrison goes over Niagara Falls in a barrel to get into Canada.
It’s also worth noting that, though Jenner didn’t appear in last week’s episode, she does in this week’s, and Parker and Stone took the occasion to bring up Jenner’s fatal hit-and-run accident.
Back in South Park, news that the Canadian president has been “f***** to death” causes jubilation, and the Canadians return home.
The skewering of political correctness in the first two episodes of the new season shows that even after 21 years, South Park has lost none of its verve or nerve.
At his campaign announcement in June, Trump said: “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best”.

Garrison eventually ends up in Canada and finds a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where the one citizen he sees commits suicide by jumping off a building. The episode ended with him and his running mate, none other than Caitlyn Jenner, heading to Washington, D.C., to continue his campaign.
