The Story

Act I

Leela takes Nibbler to see the vet and discovers he has worms. But due to his excrement of dark matter fuel, it causes the worms to create wormholes so the vet gives him pills to get rid of the worms. However The Professor and Hermes realize they can now walk through the wormholes to planets, saving them money used for starship fuel so they replace Nibbler's pills with mints. The wormholes start to attract tourism and illegal immigrants so Richard Nixon puts Zoidberg in charge of immigration. Although the registration results in large lines, Zoidberg and Bender start to accept bribes.

Act II

People start to protest about the immigrants until Bender shows the supermodels who have immigrated. An alien species called Tauronians start to conquer Earth, so Fry and Leela convince the Omicronians along with other alien species to invade Earth so fighting over it would turn Earth into an ash planet and would put them off invading. Instead they decide there's nothing wrong with an ash planet and all the immigrants leave Earth because they don't want to live on an ash planet. Hermes brings out forms which the aliens need to fill out in order to invade Earth although they will take 600 years to fill out.
