The author of this cartoon compares the immigration myth of anchor babies to the biblical account of Joseph fleeing to Egypt with Mary and the baby Jesus.

The cartoon is set in Arizona where debate over its immigration policy continues.
Tone of the cartoon:
Positive framing of undocumented immigrants
Negative framing of immigration policies.

Title of the cartoon: John McCain Cartoon# 85969
What action is taking place in the cartoon?
The cartoon is set in Arizona, where McCain has urged for stricter patrol and border policies, supporting what is considered one of the most controversial immigration laws ever put into practice. It allows immigrants to be held and detained at even the slightest hint of them being without documentation, and making the absence of immigration documents a crime. Many have opposed the law, saying it causes unfair racial profiling practices.
Tone of the cartoon:
Positive framing of undocumented immigrants
Negative framing of immigration policies
What “reality” is constructed/framed about immigration/immigrants?
It seems the cartoon suggests the strict rules in Arizona are constricting the U.S. and causing unnecessary anxiety. The artist depicts John McCain sweating bullets over the issue.

What action is taking place in the cartoon?
The Dream Act, which would allow for undocumented citizens born in the United States to gain citizenship through service to the U.S. military or attending a higher education institution, was voted down in December of 2010. The cartoonist is showing here how the hopes and dreams of immigrant's and their children's futures are being squashed by what has been mostly republican opposition. The largeness of the elephant implies that the immigrant doesn't stand a chance, and was given hope only to be taken away at the last moment.
Tone of the cartoon:
Positve framing of undocumented immigrants
Negative framing of immigration policies
What “reality” is constructed/framed about immigration/immigrants?
Hard-working immigrants are not able to have the future they desire, and not given a chance in the U.S.

What “reality” is constructed/framed about immigration/immigrants? What action is taking place in the cartoon? This cartoon shows two Caucasian Americans (who are bigger than anything else, their eyes are closed making it seem they are oblivious to immigration. They are portrayed as wealthy, larger people, who have their noses in the air, implying they are stuck up. Everywhere around them are Spanish people working in all areas of life. The text shows how oblivious they are to their surroundings, how everywhere they turn there is a Spanish worker, yet they don’t see what is right on front of their faces. The picture also shows how the Spanish workers are catering to the Caucasian people, while they are strutting along in their fancy clothes.

This cartoon has a Mexico immigrant with his bags packed, crossing the border into the United States. There is a police officer in front of him telling him to go home, however, his message is being smothered by the bigger message. The man with “business” on his jacket is very large, he has wide open hands to welcome this illegal immigrant. This follows the stories that are coming out about big businesses wanting to hire illegal immigrants to do work for a very small amount of money.

Here we have arms dressed with the American flag pushing an immigrant in one direction, and arms with the Mexican flag pushing in the opposite direction. The immigrant is literally severed in half as he is being pushed in both directions. The cartoon seems to say “get out” with the American hands, and “go in” with the Mexican hands. 11

IMMIGRATION & UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS Team Member Name: Robert Benson Publication: PenroseOnPolitics Weblog. Date: ? Cartoonist: Penrose U.S. Title of the cartoon: Whitman's Legal Problems Cartoon# 12 What action is taking place in the cartoon? Mrs. Whitman is speaking out against having undocumented workers in our country but at the same time she is being a hypocrite by having a housekeeper that is an illegal immigrant and undocumented worker. This is all about how often we as Americans talk about how much we do not want people in our country illegally but when it boils down to it we really want them in our nation because they are willing to do the jobs that we do not want to do int eh first place and they will do it for a much cheaper cost. Whitman is being very "politically correct" out loud but behind closed doors she loves having her undocumented worker because she doesn't have to pay as much. She is playing it off like it is OK and that she didn't know that her housekeeper was undocumented because the little lady never told Mrs. Whitman that she was undocumented. This cartoon shows how corrupt our system is because we knowingly allow illegal immigrants to do our dirty work just because we do not want to do it. Tone of the cartoon: 1) POSITIVE framing of undocumented immigrants. 2) NEGATIVE framing of immigration policies. What “reality” is constructed/framed about immigration/immigrants? The "reality that is constructed from this cartoon about immigration is that we want them here as long as they never tell us they are undocumented. We want them to come and work for us for a cheap price. |

The action taking place in this cartoon is Uncle Sam winking and holding up his hand as to motion “stop.” The bold-lettered words are saying that he does not want Illegal Immigrants, but then in smaller words saying he is only kidding. Tone of the cartoon: 1) Both positive or negative framing of undocumented immigrants 2) negative framing of immigration policies What “reality” is constructed/framed about immigration/immigrants? This cartoon has a mixed framing of the undocumented immigrants. He is saying that they are unwanted, while all of his actions and body language tells the viewer that he really does want them in the country. This article also suggests a negative framing of immigration policies, because it mocks the system and backbone of the organizations stopping illegal immigrants by arguably suggesting that they could be a positive thing for our economy, although we say that we do not want them. The reality of this cartoon says that as there are many things wrong with illegal immigration, there are possibly more positives to allowing undocumented immigrants into our country, although possibly we do not want to admit it. |
