When I came across this political cartoon I thought it was really interesting because it portrays this whole conflict so well. To say that illegal immigration is a controversial topic is an understatement. The several smaller Discourses in the Conversation eventually becomes two distinct sides; those more conservative who are completely against illegal immigrants having any rights to apply for citizenship once entered illegally, those same people stand against illegal immigrants having any rights at all in this country regardless if brought here as a small child, against their own will, etc. The opposing side include those people who are undocumented and seeking ways to become legal, or the groups and organizations who want to help create options for those kinds of people. Today, it almost seems as if the division between the who opinions is greater than the one dividing Mexico and the United States. A very witty and thought-provoking cartoon.
