CARTOON DESCRIPTION

In this caricature, on the right, we can see the Statue of Freedom that appears to be alive. It is quoting the Emma Lazarus’ sonnet, “New Colossus” in 1883. There are several phrases associated with the Statue of Liberty, but the most recognizable is “Give me your tired, your poor...”

Then, on the left, there is a really big wave, a tsunami, that is coming right on the statue. On the tsunami, there is something written, ”3 million illegal aliens per year”. The tsunami refers to the 3 million immigrants (“illegal Aliens”) who come to the United States.

The statue looks scared of the tsunami, it says “Holy &$%#!!”, which is ironic because the poem that it is reciting, represents the protector of the oppressed, the lighthouse guiding the immigrants and refugees who came to seek a new beginning in the New World, the United State.

The statue is thus scared of the immigrants.

We can see at the bottom right “cnsnews.com”, the caricature thus appears in the cnsnews.

In my opinion, this is kind of sad because this shows how unbalanced the world is, people want or have to leave their countries because they can no longer live in theirs.

There are so many people leaving their countries that measures were taken to limit immigration to the United States and make them illegal immigrants.
