"I Asked You First"

Cartoonist: Matson U.S. Cartoon
The elephant asks the donkey what it takes to solve many different problems relating to illegal immigration, but also allowing for the business community to have enough workers.
negative framing of undocumented immigrants
negative framing of immigration policies
What "reality" is constructed/framed about immigration/immigrants?
Neither political party understands how to ultimately solve the immigration issue while at the same time fulfilling the low-level labor jobs. On top of these conflicting issues, neither the Republican or Democratic parties know how to balance both while finding the correct tightness of the border.
Overall, although it sheds some negative light on undocumented workers, the cartoon is negative on the border policy and the intelligence and problem-solving abilities of the two parties overall.
