What they are making reference to is the famous Ronald Reagan speech to Mikail Gorbechev to tear down the wall separating East and West Berlin in the early eighties. The cartoonist is making a point that in America, we had an already established a precedent that walls separating people are not a good idea. The hypocrisy of the American govt. runs really thick in this cartoon. A negative image of the immigration policies of America are being framed in this cartoon.

What action is taking place in the cartoon?

1: “you’ll earn your bread from the sweat off your brow”
2: “unless you’re an immigrant in Europe, then all you’ll earn is jail”

This cartoon is from a publication in Barcelona, Spain. He is making reference to the large African population trying to access Europe, specifically the Moroccans. It is easy to see that not only the U.S. has a border control problem. Spain, who has the second largest immigration problem, (second only to the U.S.) has tried to deal with its problem similarly. Currently, they have tried to build a barrier fence, and Spain has granted the largest amnesty to immigrants in the industrialized world.

Caption: “I give him work, I give him food, I give him medicine, I help his women, what more do you guys want from me?”

The Haitian man is being portrayed as an ape, an ape that is happy to being taken care of. The Dominican is carrying the weight of the man and speaking to Hilary and Barrak. He says basically what else do you want me to do with the limited resources I have? You want us to do all of this but where is the help?

The cartoonist is also hinting to the double standard of the United States. With mounting political pressure for the Dominicans to take in their neighbors, the artist makes reference to the unwillingness to accept the Mexicans into the U.S. under similar circumstances.

What action is taking place in the cartoon?

Caption: “Neighbor, the power is out to the whole neighborhood, did you not pay the bill on time?”

The man on the left is from the Dominican Republic, the man on the right is from Haiti. Clearly the Dominican Republic is a wealthier nation with electricity, running water, and cars ect. The Haitians are stealing power and then complaining about the power being out.

The cartoonist is portraying the Haitians as ungrateful and a burden to society. This one man in the cartoon is representative on the Nation of Haiti. The complaint is that they continue to receive help, and do nothing to give back. The Haitians are framed as lazy and incompetent.
