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.
Tone of the cartoon: 1) positive or negative framing of undocumented immigrants (circle answer)2) positive or negative framing of immigration policies (Circle answer)What “reality” is constructed/framed about immigration/immigrants?
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.
