    Boring

    What a dissapointing show Arrested Development has become. In this particular episode there is not a single funny joke. The plot just meanders on with scene after pointless scene. It is sad how they try to bring out old jokes like 'Mrs Featherbottom' and 'Anne Who?' to make you feel nostalgia. All it makes me feel is I wish I was watching the old show instead. Such a shame, a once great show reduced to something so dull. And that is the cardinal sin of the revived Arrested Development, it is just so boring.

    • Trivia
      The title is a term used by Donald Trump among others as an exaggerated complaint about immigrants who also help their families to immigrate to America, fitting with the theme of Donald Trump's view on immigration playing a prominent role this season. It also relates to Tobias's assumption that he and his "family" can move in (or migrate) to Maeby's home.
