Cartoonist: Rex Babin U.S. Cartoon
Men are building a fence with a sign that states that the U.S. is hiring, perhaps the build the fence, but to stay out after completing it.
Positive framing of undocumented immigrants
Negative framing of immigration policies
"Reality" constructed/framed about immigration/immigrants
It's ironic that the United States offers all of these low-paying, laborious jobs that an undocumented worker could be efficient at, yet the same people who publicize the job opportunities reject those same workers who are willing to do that kind of labor.
It's especially ironic who, as the cartoons typifies, if a fence is going to be build be built to keep the undocumented workers out, who is going to build it? Would poor Americans be willing to take that sort of job?
