Must Watch: The Daily Show Send-Up of Anti-Immigrant Attitudes in Texas

on October 30, 2014 in Immigration

The Daily Show has been in Austin, Texas all week long as part of their Election Day coverage, dubbed “Democalpyse 2014.” In last night’s episode, correspondent Al Madrigal filed a funny, yet poignant, story on how the immigration issue has shaped the misinformed views some Texans have of the state’s vibrant Latino community. Madrigal also does a great job of pointing out just how ludicrous some of the anti-immigrant claims really are. You’ll also notice a certain ALMA Awards winner make a hysterical cameo near the end of the clip. Enjoy!
