"Welcome to America"

Eng 479
I was particuraly attracted to this cartoon becuase it dealt with some of the conversations we had in class. The U.S will allow one family member,permenant residence, if they had already lived here when they passed that act; other family members then would get smuggled through the boarder or somehow gettemperary wrker permits. Like many, they have to figure out how they can get their green cards which, like this picture, is like a maze; many dead ends and false hopes.

  2. I find it particularly interesting the artist chose to use a rather aryan middle class dressed character. Perhaps its meant to be more ambiguous, but I would say it definitely speaks to a clear audience.
