Another Political Cartoon

In looking back at this semester, one important aspect I have learned is that cartoons, like this above, are myths.  This cartoon depicts that Mexicans do not want to assimilate as Americans, and they are hypocrites for stating they want to be Americans.  Obviously, all three of our books we have read have proven that this just is not the case.  For example, Leo Chavez in his book discusses the language barrier and how that Mexicans have learned English over the generations, just like other immigrant groups have done in the past.  Hopefully, people can see past the argument that Latino immigrants do not want to assimilate into American culture because that is obviously not the issue.  This country needs to figure out an effective immigration policy that does not allow for silly arguments, like assimilation, to happen.
