Increased+Racism

   Since illegal immigration has been on the rise, racism increased as well. They can clearly be displayed throughout these multitude of drawings.    Reaction: This cartoonist was trying to convey that immigrants will say what they need to to be part of a nation. They may say they are completely American and have no allegiance to their homeland, but they truly do and feel little loyalty to the United States of America -AJ Meyer  Reaction: This person who drew this is obviously trying to convey the fact that even though some Mexicans say that they want to be United States Citizens as they desire all of the pros of being an american but have their true allegiance to their native country. They don't fully want to or they simply don't know how this nation is run and don't understand our government or social system the way a citizen should. <span style="display: block; background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(82,255,0);">-Megan <span style="display: block; color: rgb(175,0,255); background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255,0,3);"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(175,0,255); background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255,0,3);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(82,255,0);">  <span style="display: block; color: rgb(175,0,255); background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255,0,3);"> <span style="display: block; background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(248,251,55);">Reaction: In this comic it shows two Mexican citizens that have been living in the United States illegally. However, they are now fleeing the country because the are unwilling to pay taxes. The basic idea of the comic is that illegal immigrations come to enjoy the benefits of that legal citizens have, without needing to take part in their responsibilities, such as paying taxes and show no allegiance to their newfound country. -Harshil <span style="display: block; color: rgb(175,0,255); background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255,0,3);"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(175,0,255); background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255,0,3);"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(175,0,255); background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255,0,3);"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(175,0,255); background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255,0,3);"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(175,0,255); background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255,0,3);"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(175,0,255); background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255,0,3);">Reaction: The irony in this drawing is that the American government is willing to help illegal immigrants more than our own citizens. Which in part contradicts what the american government should be doing. <span style="display: block; color: rgb(175,0,255); background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"> -Megan Connor <span style="display: block; color: rgb(175,0,255); background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255,0,3);"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(175,0,255); background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255,0,3);"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(175,0,255); background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255,0,3);"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(175,0,255); background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255,0,3);"> <span style="display: block; background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(104,248,230);">Reaction: This drawing clearly demonstrates how mexican immigrant have fully assimilated into the American culture where by they feel they are primarily americans. They are adopting the policy of banning excessive imports into America even though it may be inputs from their own native country. Uncle sam now is now exhibiting characteristics of immigrant that have in-fluxed this country. Uncle sam use to look like a typical white Caucasian person... now uncle sam can be either asian or mexican shown in this picture. This isn't a good or bad thing, its just the way that the United States is developing. <span style="display: block; background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"> -Megan Connor <span style="display: block; color: rgb(175,0,255); background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255,0,3);"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(175,0,255); background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255,0,3);"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(175,0,255); background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255,0,3);"> <span style="display: block; background-color: rgb(11,9,9); text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(164,7,187);">**Reaction: This comic is basically saying that racism and discrimination will only end once no one else is left. Everyone has flaws and sterotypes about themselves. I can think of five about myself off the top of my head. If we all concentrate on our flaws, then there will be no "perfect" person because there is no such extraordinary being. The people that point out everyone elses stereotypes, weather true or false, know that they have stereotypes about themselves. Sadly, we all can't get along because people continue to believe pointless stereotypes and then they discriminate based on them. One day, I hope that people will stop caring about stereotypes and start caring about many other more important problems in our crazy world. - Zoe Paul**
