2nd Quarter Election Post #1

This week my political cartoon dealth with immigration, a topic i have been studying intensely in polysci over the last 2 weeks. Upon meeting rep. Jose Serrano, and finding his views on immigration policy, i decided to create my cartoon. It represents America's distaste for illegal immigrants, but all of the immigrants that were being discriminated against were from south carolina. My cartoon shows this "racism" as some would call, in the form of the Statue of Liberty allowing European immigrants into the USA while rejecting those from Mexico. Measures such as a physical fense along the Mexican border influenced me to create this cartoon, which was done before Mr. Stroud had made the assignment, so i lucked out and didnt have to do it. And that is the overview of my cartoon, as well as a backgroud of where its influence came from.
