Bordertown

A satirical look at the cultural shifts taking place in America, the animated series explores family, politics and everything in between. The comedy centers on two very different families, the Buckwalds and the Gonzalezes living in a fictional Southwest desert town on the U.S. - Mexico border. Bud Buckwald, a married father of three and a Border Patrol agent, is just a tad behind the times and feels slightly threatened by the cultural changes transforming his neighborhood. He lives next door to Ernest Gonzalez, an ambitious family man, who has been in the country less than 10 years, but is already doing better than Bud – which, it turns out, is a bit of an issue for Bud.

Bud fights to get a border wall constructed using confiscated drug money, only to have the wall destroy the economy, leaving him jobless. He then begins smuggling immigrants under the wall to make ends meet.

The reverend of Bud’s megachurch asks Bud to lure Ernesto, the town’s biggest church donor, away from the local Mexican Catholic church, to help fill their coffers. Ernesto is seduced by the glitziness of the church, and the reverend schemes to bring over all the other Mexican residents by “Hispandering,” to Bud’s horror. Bud and Ernesto team up to restore the status quo, but their plan backfires.

Bud becomes the high school football coach after the previous coach is forced out of the job by the local redneck fans.  Bud, desperate to win, discovers a secret weapon – an illegal immigrant whom he sees gracefully and skillfully run across the border. Of course, this kid also happens to be the No. 1 drug mule in Mexico.

As Bud and Janice prepare to consummate their yearly anniversary sex, Maria’s sister has a baby, which tips the Mexifornia population from white majority to Latino majority. So, Bud decides he needs to have a baby to counteract the number shift.

Ernesto attempts to get J.C. into the “real world” by forcing him to work on his crew. J.C. is appalled at what he believes are terrible working conditions and goes on strike, causing a rift in the Gonzalez family and in J.C.’s relationship with Becky. Meanwhile, Bud is stalked by an ostrich that he decides is his “spirit animal”.
