Family Guy: Padre de Familia

"Padre de Familia" is the sixth episode of the sixth season of the American animated sitcom Family Guy. It first aired on Fox in the United States on November 18, 2007. The episode follows Peter Griffin as he becomes frustrated with the presence of illegal immigrants and convinces his supervisor to initiate an inspection, laying off any immigrants employed, unknowing that he was born in Mexico and that his mother never filled out his citizenship papers. This makes him an illegal immigrant and he is soon fired for it. The episode was written by Kirker Butler and it was directed by Pete Michels. This is one of the episodes that did not have show creator Seth MacFarlane's work in post-production because he was participating in the Writers Guild of America strike.
