Erika Rodriguez:

This picture is expresses how when the hondurans want to come to the USA they have to find the
maps to the USA because they might not know where to go. When the hondurans come over
illegally they have the right to get free health care, jobs, free education and even free
lemonade.The free lemonade makes them feel welcome and feel comfortable to come to the US.
They will be able to get jobs because immigrants are known for hard working and then they may
even may be able to get free health, and also send their kids to school for free with no hesitation.

This picture express how immigrants are coming over to the US illegally and that Barack Obama allows
them to come to the USA. When the immigrants come to the USA they are welcomed here. In this political
cartoon it expresses how the donkeys are giving a bucket with free welfare and health care. Obama is pointing
the the donkey with the free welfare and free health care because he wants them to maybe feel welcomed
instead coming over to the US to be forced to do the voter registration. To vote you have to be a citizen and
immigrants do not have full citizenship, do not have any citizenship when they come over illegally.
