Chapter 1: What is the significance of Cinco de Mayo?
You're listening to an iHeart podcast. You're listening to Comedy Central.
Besides all of the problems that we were discussing in the first act, the country's also facing a tremendous amount of immigration issues. How realistic are the proposed solutions? Jason Jones filed this report.
Arizona's new immigration law requires police to question anyone they reasonably suspect of being an illegal immigrant. But how exactly do you spot illegals? I went out on May 5th to find out. What would you think constitutes reasonable suspicion?
Reasonable suspicion, I would say if they don't speak English.
Means a little bit of this. A little bit of corona.
Perception. Perception. So what would you perceive an illegal immigrant to look like? I don't know. Maybe they'd be wearing sombreros or drinking. or eating spicy food, or speaking broken English.
Drinking for a single day, Trinco.
Oh my God. Suspicious behavior was everywhere. But how do you go about determining who is illegal? So what's your name, hombre? Rich Syverson. Rich, yes. Sure it is. It is. How'd you get here?
I walked.

Chapter 2: What immigration issues are discussed?
Of course, establishing reasonable suspicion is just the first step. I'm going to need to see your papers.
I don't have my wallet on me. I'm from the United States.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Prove it.
How do I prove it?
Which amendment protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures?
Seventh?
Check this out. Guys! Guys! Unreasonable search and seizures. What amendment? That's a bunch of Johnny Americans in there. If our politicians don't have the courage to do what they did in Arizona, then our streets will be overrun by laziness and loud ethnic music. However, we must tread carefully because illegals are on a hair trigger. Anything can set them off. You being illegal immigrants.

Chapter 3: How do stereotypes affect perceptions of immigrants?
The youth vote. It helped push Obama over the top in 2008. So it's no surprise he officially kicked off his 2012 campaign at Virginia Commonwealth University. But will the youth vote be a problem this time around?
Is there a vulnerability for the president in firing up young people in this economy?
It's the beginning of the end for the relationship between young people and the president. From what we saw at this pre-speech campaign rally just down the street from VCU, as of May 5th, 2012, young Obama supporters are fired up and ready to go. I'm fired up and pants ready to go. Are you really committed to this effort? Yeah, I'm really committed.
Gotta get hammered!
Do you think you can keep this enthusiasm up until November?
I think I can, because I'll drink Corona like it's water, drink Bud Light like it's water, drink vodka like it's water, tequila like it's water.
Can you keep it up until November?
Oh, absolutely. Are you kidding me? I come here all the time.
Are you pumped up because you think Barack Obama will finally be able to not worry about this combative Congress and he can actually be progressive in his theoretical second term? I smell weed. Surprisingly, despite a dark and uncertain future, these students have managed to stay hopeful with simple remedies. Are you worried about tomorrow?

So I get it, I get it.
