Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Family Guy fans are no doubt familiar with Consuela, the Griffin family's dutiful Mexican housekeeper.
And Family Guy creators are clearly familiar with Arizona and its anti-immigrant reputation.
In last night's Valentine's Day episode, watched by millions of people across the country, they took a shot at the state by having U.S. Border Patrol agents take several shots at Consuela.
Video below.
"This is Arizona," one border patrol agent tells another. "We can shoot a Mexican for using a water fountain."
Watch the video.
