The political cartoon I chose represent why Mexicans and most immigrants come to America illegally. If a family makes it across the border illegally but successfully, the parents know that there son or daughter will be receiving a free high school education at any public school in the country. Along with education, the family also receives free health care because of the law that states a hospital has to treat anyone who walks into it. This has already caused many medical care businesses to go bankrupted.
The last point this political cartoon talks about is jobs. Because illegal immigrants technically have no rights, employers can pay them almost nothing to do jobs that some people would rather not do. This creates a problem for Americans because the illegals are doing the work for much less than what employers would have to pay Americans. This causes many Americans to loose their jobs to illegal immigration.
In my opinion, this is a great political cartoon that encompasses the main reasons why illegals want to come to the Unites States. It is hard to blame them for wanting a better life. However, I do blame our government for letting them think they can get away with a better life in America.
