The Immigrant: The Stranger At Our Gate





Emigrant: "Can I come in?"
Uncle Sam: "I 'spose you can; there's no law to keep you out."

The Ram's Horn

What do you think this cartoon is showing? Where do you think the immigrant is from? What symbols do you see in this cartoon? Compare it to the poem on the Statue of Liberty we read yesterday.

  1. Maybe the guy doesn't want the immigrant to come in, that's why he's standing there with his hand over his nose.

    This cartoon is showing uncle sam letting a emigrant from western european country into the united states. The symbols i see in this cartoon is his bag that says poverty and his arm. This is kinda just like the statue of liberty one cause uncle sam is welcoming a emigrant into the gate to america.

    I think this cartoon is showing that the immigrant is bringing bad things to America. I think that the immigrant is from a poor country with poverty and diseases. I see that the immigrant has a bags and luggage that say things like "disease" and "poverty". The cartoon is like the poem because even though they carry stuff like that, America is still welcoming to them.

    I think this is showing that not all people in the united states liked immigration. We'll its kind of hard to tell where he's from because you can't see all of him but if I had to guess I would say Ireland. I see some eagles I think is what they are and they don't look very welcoming where as yesterday we where talking about lady liberty who I think is very welcoming.

  7. I thank this cartoon is showing how immigrants where aloud in are country. I thank the immigrant came from a hungery country because it says poverty witch means hunger. I see that the guy has a bunch of bags. I thank that The Staute Of Liberty is like this because it welcomes immigrants and that is what this shows.

    I think that this cartoon is showing that even though that the immigrants would carry disease that they were welcomed. This poem and the poem that we read yesterday are the same because they both are welcoming immigrants. i think that the immigrant could be from western Europe

  9. I think that the cartoon is showing a immigrant trying to get into america,I think that the immigrant is from italy or china. I see a barrel and some packed things,a bag that says poverty. I think that this is like the statue of liberty by saying that they can be let in.

  10. It is showing an immigrant and a guy covering his nose. I think the immigrant might be from Russia, the immigrant has bags that say stuff like disease on it. The poem yesterday said that the Statue Of Liberty was to welcome immigrants, and it says welcome on the gate.

  11. I think this cartoon is showing how immigrants were welcome. I don't know where this immigrant is from, maybe he's from Spain or something. The symbols i see are, the bags the immigrant is carrying says disease, poverty, anarchy and stuff like that, showing maybe he can't come to the United States.

  12. I'm not sure that Uncle Sam is really welcoming the immigrant, is he? What do you mean by one of the symbols is "his arm" Brenden?
    Bailey, why do you think it shows that immigrants are welcome? Do you hold your nose when your friend comes to the door? Good catch on the German and Irish symbols.

  13. How poor and bad the emigrant looks. I think he is from a country that is poor. i see a bad that says poverty on it and one that says disease so that could mean he might have a disease or two.

    This cartoon shows to attitude towards Immigrants later in the United States. There were no laws to prohibit or limit the number of Immigrants coming into America. I believe this Immigrants might be from Russia or Poland, because they were fleeing Religious persecution, and the Jews were forced to live in run down homes. In this cartoon I see the words "United Sates of America" and "Walk in" and most importantly "Welcome". On the Immigrant I see Poverty, Disease, and Anarchy. This picture and the Poem about the Statue of Liberty have very many differences, one major one being that the attitude has changed towards the Immigrants.

  15. This cartoon is showing how some people in America didn't want new people from other countries living there. The emigrant is carrying bags of poverty and disease, and a some other words on him are anarchy and superstition. I don't know where the emigrant is from, but he looks poor and sick. You can tell, because his shoes and clothes are torn, and his face looks thin. The poem from yesterday represented a welcoming and giving country. This political cartoon portrays that America didn't want new people in the country, but they had no choice.

  18. Good call on seeing that the immigrant is bringing "bad things" to America, Olivia. Would you want someone to bring disease and poverty in America?

    Everyon, Look at the words below the cartoon. Is that how you greet someone you are eager to help?

  19. I think this cartoon is showing that we welcome immigrants to the United States. I think the immigrant is from a place where it was rough because one of the bags he is taking is poverty with him. I see that the immigrant has bags and luggage with him that say disease, poverty, and on the gate it says welcome and walk in. The poem sounded more welcoming for immigrants and Uncle Sam sounds like he does not really care if the immigrants come or not because he said "There's no law to keep you out." but he is still welcoming him.

  20. I think it is showing that it doesn't matter where you came from or who you are you are welcomed. I think the immigrant is from Ireland. I see many symbols on his bag that says, "Disease," "poverty," and "desecration". In the poem about the Statue of Liberty, she is welcoming many immigrants and in this poem it seems that Uncle Sam is to by having a carving that says welcome and United States of America, or walk in. I think they both mean the same thing and they are both welcomed.

    I think that this cartoon is showing a man without money coming to the United States because the man has worn down clothes and is carrying a lot of bags. I think the immigrant is from a country in Western Europe, maybe Ireland or Germany. Some symbols that i can see in this cartoon is the word welcome, and walk in, showing that all immigrants are welcome in the United States, a few bags that say poverty and disease. Compared to the Statue of Liberty cartoon i think that they are both showing that the United States is open or welcome to immigrants.

  23. I think that the cartoon is showing that even emigrants that were smelly or had diseases or poverty could still come to America. I think that the emigrant is from Ireland because of the way he looks. I see the money symbol on the wall to the right. I think that this has a different input about immigrants than the poem. They're welcome, but the americans want nothing to do with them. The poem makes it seem that the immigrants are welcome, the americans would treat them the same and that they could rest. The political cartoon shows that immigrants bring things that don't belong ,or that the americans don't want. I think that this is a cruel picture. Alaina Gray 8R1

    I think that this Political Cartoon is showing an immigrant trying to get into America because the sign says "Walk in". I think that he could have came from anywhere over there. In the Video it said that they packed light but yet in this Political Cartoon it looks like he packed heavier than he should have. I see the Symobol of the "s" and "u" as one and it looks like the symobol for United States and also all of the words on the bags and holding your nose as if they stink. Also another one is his arms are closed instead of open. It is the same because the Staute of Liberty was welcoming people into the United States and this one was is in a way.

  25. I think this cartoon is showing that it was good to let immigrants in to america but not everyone liked it. i think the immigrant was a brood comparison to immigrants from every everywhere. The symbols I see in the cartoon are Eagle statues, a noose, and a lot of luggage with words like poverty anarchy,and sabbath desecration

    I think this picture is showing that Uncle Sam doesn't want immigrants to be welcome. I think this immigrant is from a country that is very poor and doesn't have food. One symbol on his bag says poverty. This is like the statue of liberty because they are welcoming the immigrants.

  28. It looks like picture shows Uncle Sam thinking wether or not to let the immigrant in, I don't think he wants to though. But, he said "I 'spose you can; there's no law to keep you out." The immigrant is probably from Ireland, or some Western country in Europe. The bag he is carrying says poverty. So, maybe he's from somewhere, where a lot of people were poor and went into poverty. The Statue of liberty is open to immigration. But, Uncle Sam doesn't look very open.

  31. I think that this cartoon shows a man from another country coming to America. It looks like he is poor because he is wearing worn down clothing and doesn't have very many belongings. A symbol on his bag says poverty which means poor so he must come from a poor country. I think this compares to the Statue of Liberty because the Statue of Liberty welcomes new immigrants but Uncle Sam is trying to make them feel unwelcome.

  33. I think this cartoon is showing an emigrant coming into America bringing bad things like poverty in with him. I think the emigrant is from a country with maybe disease and poverty into America.

  34. The immigrant looks like he is from some western Europe country and just got to the united states. He asks uncle sam if he can come in and he says "I 'spose you can; there's no law holding you back. The Immigrants has a bag that says poverty which means- a state of being poor, so the Immigrant had no money and want to start a new life that the statue of liberty showed him where to start.

The symbols that I see in this political cartoon is on the immigrant he has a lot f bags that say different things like, desegregation, disease, and poverty. This is different from the poem we read yesterday because in this picture it seems that the united states isn't really welcoming the immigrants, in the poem the U.S. welcomed them with wide arms.

    I think this cartoon is showing a man wanting to come to America, but Uncle Sam is standing there to greet him or not let him in to America. I think the man is from Israel because his bag says Sabbath and he is wearing one of those jewish hats. I see a S on top of a U. That might stand for the U.S. The poem was saying that all is welcome, but in this picture it looks like Uncle Sam doesn't really want him to come in to America.

  43. It is showing immigrants can come to america because there is no way to not let them in. I think the immigrant is from Ireland because his beard looks red. you see poverty, desegration,disease, and anarchy.The statue of liberty poem mean that if your poor or rich you can come to america still.

    This shows Uncle Sam letting an immigrant into America, although he doesn't seem very happy to. This immigrant is probably from somewhere that is having trouble with money and disease because on one of his bags it says disease and on the other it says poverty. Most of the signs in this cartoon are coming from the immigrant and his bags and belongings. On the statue of liberty picture we did yesterday it seemed like they really wanted immigrants to come to America but this cartoon seems like they don't really want them.

    I think who ever wrote this cartoon is trying to say that immigrants shouldn't be let into the United States because of all the thing that are bad that they bring. Uncle Sam says theres no law about them coming in so maybe the writer of the cartoon wanted a law about immigration. The immigrant might have came from Ireland or Italy around that general area.

    I think that both pictures (Statue of Liberty and Uncle Sam) are showing that no matter what race you are or where you came from, your welcome to America. On the post by the fence it says, "Welcome to America, Admittance Free." The immigrant has a few bags, one of them says, "poverty'' (which means extremely poor) and the other bag says, "disease." I don't know exactly what country he emigrated from but the push factor was being poor and diseases were being carried.

  48. In this picture it shows Uncle Sam not really wanting to let in an immigrant. He said that the immigrant could come in because there was no law keeping him out. That is the exact opposite from what the poem said from yesterday. It looks like he could be from Ireland because of the beer mug on his back. The sack he has also says poverty which probably ment that he was from someplace that people didn't have a lot of money.

  49. Good call on the artist perhaps wanting a law against immigration, Jared. Did anyone else pick up on that? You all see lots of things the emigrant is brining with him. Where do you think he is from?

  50. In the picture Uncle Sam is unsure to let the Immigrant in but he says " I suppose you can; there is no law to keep you out." On the ground, there is a bag that the man is holding and it says poverty. I think the Immigrant is from Ireland or Germany. Their countries were both in poverty at the time. His hate looks like he is from Ireland. Another thing I noticed about the carton was that Uncle Sam was holding his nose. He probably did that because the Immigrants smelled horrible because either they couldn't take a shower or they just didn't want to. The poem and the cartoon resemble to each other because they both say that Immigrants can come into America.

    In this cartoon uncle Sam is letting the immigrant in. but his face don't seem like he is real friendly. the comment that uncle Sam said was there is no law to keep you out. I think that uncle Sam don't like the immigrants because the immigrants smell bad. by the looks of the immigrant it looks like he came from Germany because of his hat. The statue of liberty and the Immigrant picture show that they are dealing with immigrants coming to America. But the difference is that liberty is welcoming them in with her open arms. While uncle Sam is having a big fuss over immigrants coming into America. can someone tell me why the congress building is behind uncle Sam if the immigrant came from Germany

  52. I think that this cartoon is showing that our country is becoming to open to immigrants from other countries.It looks like this immigrants is from probably Germany. Some symbols that I see in this cartoon is a bag that says poverty and a doctor bag that says disease on it. Uncle sam is holding his nose like he doesn't like those immigrants coming to america. The poem that we read yesterday about the statue of liberty was open to immigrants but this one is less open to immigrants.

  53. In the picture I see a guy standing in front of a gate with a immigrant. (The man standing there looks like Uncle Sam.) On the gate it says Welcome and things but the man likes grossed out by the immigrant. The immigrant looks like he's grinning but on his bag it says words like, "Disease" & "Poyerty". But why is Uncle Same holding his nose? When he says the immigrant is welcome? & I don't know where the immigrant is from, But i think this and the Statue of libery are sorta the same cause they both let them in. But some may not like it.

  54. "Uncle Sam" seems to be reluctant to let the emigrant in but has to because there isn't a law against it. I think this man came from a place suffuring of poverty and disease, The sympols i see are a bag that says poverty and more.

  55. In the cartoon, Uncle Sam is unsure about letting the Immigrant into America. But he said " I suppose you can; there is no law to keep you out." On the ground there is a bag that says "poverty". I think that the Immigrant came either from Russia. I also noticed that the Immigrant is carrying bags that say disease and sabbath and Desecration. He has a hat that reminds me of the Russians hate. The symbols that I see are the Capitol Building and of course Uncle Sam. They are all America. Another thing I saw was that Uncle Sam is holding his nose and that his left hand is in his pocket. when I saw that I thought, Uncle Sam really doesn't want the Immigrant coming in. The poem I read was similar to this cartoon was that they are all welcoming Immigrants.

    I think this political cartoon is showing that we are welcoming of immigrants, even if they are bringing in bad things. Like poverty, and disease, like the man's bags were saying. I see that his bags are saying all kinds of stuff like disease, poverty, etc. This is different than the statue of liberty poem because the Statue of Liberty was more welcoming. Even though Uncle Sam, is telling him he can come in, he is not as welcoming as the Statue of Liberty. I'm not sure where the man is from.

    This cartoon is showing an immigrant requesting entry into the United States, and Uncle Sam letting him in. The immigrant is from somewhere in the European area I'm assuming, and this area has to deal with poverty, anarchy, etc., according to his bags. There are many symbols in the cartoon, mostly on the immigrant. The symbols say poverty, anarchy, desecration, and things of that nature. This is like the poem yesterday, because in both items the U.S. is showing open arms and letting immigrants in.

    I think that people already in the U.S. did not want people to come to the united states because in the picture Uncle Sam is saying you can ocme to the united states there is no law against it, the man is and the man is standing for all of the immigrants by showing poverty, disease, and other traits on him.

    I think that this shows that Uncle Sam is disgusted by the emigrants, this is shown because he holds his nose as if he smells something bad. Also the person looks like he is caring a disease. He is also holding a container that says disease. I think that the emigrant is a Jewish emigrant from Russia. I think that this is different from the poem because in this we are not welcoming the emigrants.

    I think that the cartoon is showing a immigrant that has just arrived to the United States and is asking to come in but the Uncle Sam in the picture is questioning wether to let him or not because of who and what he is and what things he has brought with him. The Picture is relevant to the Statue of Liberty Picture because the walls say "Walk in" "Welcome" and then the Immigrant is holding bags with names like "Anarchy, Disease, Poterty"

  66. I think this cartoon shows a Immigrant coming to America. I think this Immigrant is from Russia. I see this Immigrant is bringing bad thing into America one reason is he had a bag that says disease on it.

    The cartoon is showing Uncle Sam letting a immigrant into America. It shows that he isn't very happy about letting the immigrant in, but he has to. The immigrant may be from Ireland. The immigrant is holding luggage with symbols of disease and poverty. This is much different than the Statue of Liberty poem. In the Statue of Poem, it is very warm and welcoming towards the immigrants. This cartoon is more harsh towards the immigrants. This cartoon is saying that America didn't really want the immigrants and is letting them in just becuase there's no law keeping them out.

    I think that this cartoon is showing an immigrant trying to get into America and Uncle Sam looks frustrated because there is no law to keep you out. The poverty bag and the disease doctors bag are strange and he is probobly from russia because of his hat and the way he is dresses and his baggage. This cartoon relates to the staue of liberty by welcomeing immigrants to america.

    I think that this cartoon shows that even though America may let immigrants in, it might not like the immigrant or the things they bring with them. I think that this immigrant is Russian because during the peak times of immigration to America, Russian Jews were being persecuted. This man is wearing a Jewish hat and has a barrel on his back that says Sabbath desecration, which tells me he is religious. In this cartoon, I see the Capitol building with the American flag in the background, symbolizing that this is definitely America. On the pillar of the gate that the immigrant is trying to go into, it says "United States of America. Admittance free." I think this shows that America is open to the immigrants. However, Uncle Sam is not open, because he seems to be blocking the immigrant's way. I think that the burdens the immigrant is carrying represent everything bad the immigrant brings in with him, such as disease, superstition, and poverty.

  72. Andy Mathews 8R3

    I think this picture is showing that everything pointed to letting immigrants in with open arms, but the people didn't want immigrants in their country. You can see because Uncle Sam is holding his nose and acting like he HAS to let him in, while the signs on the pillars say, "Welcome," "Walk In," and "Admittance Free." It is a big contradiction. I'm not sure where this immigrant is from, but I'm guessing he could be from Ireland, because they had a famine and he looks very thin and poor, even though most immigrants were like that. The things I see in this cartoon, like the Capitol building, blue skies, and open gates make America seem like a welcoming place, but Uncle Sam holding his nose makes it seem like immigrants aren't wanted there. This is very different from the poem we read yesterday because the poem said that immigrants were very welcome, and this cartoon emphasized how the people in America weren't very welcoming.

    I think that uncle sam is trying to tell the emigrant that I don't want you here but there is nothing that I can do to kick you out. Because in the play thing there is a part where uncle sam says ", there's no law to keep you out." I think that this emigrant came from Russia because the bag says poverty . I can see a money symbol on the top of the pillar. Which makes me believe that there is a lot of money in America. AT THE TIME PERIOD! Well to the poem from yesterday the poem stated that they welcome immigrants to live and breath in the freedom. But on this one i think that it means that America wants people to come in. But in the political cartoon uncle sam is more like I don't want you to come. So that makes me believe that some people don't want immigrants.

  74. This artist, in my opinion, doesn't like the idea of immigrants coming into America. Some symbols in this photo are the bags the immigrant is carrying, and Uncle Sam and the Capitol Building. Uncle Sam is holding his nose and has a hand in his pocket, as if he doesn't really care about this guy. The immigrant is probably from Romania or some other poverty and disease stricken country, because that's the "luggage" he's carrying into America. The Statue of Liberty poem is completely different, because it welcomes immigrants with open arms. 8R3-8-25-11

    I think the Emigrant is from Russia because he looks like he is from Russia with his hat. In this picture I can see the Capitol Building and Uncle Sam. This cartoon is showing that some Americans where not as welcoming to the new immigrants. This cartoon is the same as the poem in some ways because on the wall it as that the US is free and welcoming the poem is also welcoming.

    I think that the cartoon is showing that all emigrants are welcome. I think he is from Israel because his bag said Sabbath. The emigrant has words on his bags like poverty and disease. The big difference is showing acceptance of the emigrants between the two poems.

    On the concrete wall at the gate, signs say "Come in!" and "Welcome", however Uncle Sam appears he does not want to let the immigrant in but must.

    I think the Cartoon is showing that immigrants are allowed in, because the Immigrant asks if he can come in and Uncle Sam says "I 'spose you can; there's no law to keep you out." I think the Immigrant is from Isreal. The symbols I see are, Poverty, Disease,Uncle Sam, and Descration.

  79. In the cartoon, Uncle Sam is not sure he should let the man come into America. I think the cartoon is showing immigrants coming in and some of them are poor and so americans don't like the idea of immigrants in poverty coming in so they look down to them as if they were disgusting people. I think this immigrant is from England because he has a hat on and his bag says poverty and many people from England came to america because of poverty. The bag that the poor man is holding says poverty and he probably doesn't have that much money so he came to america for that. The poor man is holding a bag that says disease and so the man probably is carrying a disease and he lives in sabbath desegration. I think that the poems are the same because the statue of liberty represents the america opening there arms to the immigrants and in this picture Uncle Sam represents the america and he doesn't want to take in the immigrant but he still does.

  80. I think the cartoon is showing that the U.S. was somewhat prejudice to certain immigrants. The immigrant in the picture is carrying things such as disease, poverty, anarchy, & other things. These are things that the U.S. probably doesn't want coming in to our country. I think that he might have come from Russia. The poem from yesterday also shows that the United States was receiving many immigrants but the cartoon does not exactly have a very "welcoming" feeling.

  81. In the cartoon, Uncle Sam see's an stranger at his gate and the stranger is saying "Can I come in"?, and Uncle Sam says "I suppose you can; there's no law to keep you out". And Uncle sam is letting the immigrant into America and and in the poem was about the Statue of Liberty was also welcoming immigrants to the U.S., and in this cartoon Uncle Sam is letting the immigrant into America. The stranger is also carrying bags that say disease, superstition, and poverty. Which means he probably has a disease that he is bringing with him. And he has superstition, and that he has poverty.

  82. I think that this picture is trying to show that people that are already in america can like immigrants and dislike immigrants but there is nothing in writing that can keep them out that there are just some rules. so people can have an opinion but there is no real reason to keep them out

  83. I think that this cartoon is showing an immigrant trying to get into America and Uncle Sam looks frustrated because there is no law to keep you out. The poverty bag and the disease doctors bag are strange. This cartoon relates to the staue of liberty by welcoming immigrants to america.

  84. I think this picture is showing that emigrants are welcomed into our country. I think this emigrant is from a different country that he did not like what was going on in that country. Both the picture & the Statue of Liberty are meaning that we welcome people.

    I think that this is showing a immigrant coming to a America that doesn't have a lot of money. You can tell because his clothes are ripped, and his shoes are missing. He is also carrying poverty, and disease with him. In the poem from yesterday the Statue of Liberty was a welcoming thing. Uncle Sam really didn't want to let him in, but he didn't really have a choice, he had too.

    I think that this cartoon is showing that America says that they wanted immigrants to come to America but some of the people don't want anybody to come to America. I think this emigrant was from Russia because one of his bags said "poverty" and Russia was very poor back then. The poem yesterday welcomed immigrants and today it showed discrimination against the new immigrants.

    I think that this cartoon is showing a homeless guy that needs help finding a home or land so he came to the government for land. On the wall there is a sign that says welcome. On the emigrants bag it says poverty and on his other bag it says disease so i think he could be traveling on foot and needed supplies to keep healthy. Im not really sure where this emigrant is from but he looks poor and maybe sick. This cartoon relates to the one from yesterday because both of them welcome freedom to people from other places.

    I think this cartoon is showing that Uncle Sam doesn't like the emigrants because he is holding his nose as if something smelled bad. I also think that he might have a disease because of the bag he has in his hand saying disease. I think this emigrant is from Russia. The symbols I see on this picture are poverty and disease. I think that it is the same as the Statue of Liberty because we are welcoming emigrants and immigrants into the United States of America.

  90. I think uncle sam is saying it don't matter it he want him here he cant do anything to make him lave and the guy is from Russia because the bag says poverty and that make me believe that some people didn't like immigrants coming here by Ronnie Alesandrini 8r4

    I think the cartoon shows Immigrants are welcome but it's not something we're proud of. I think the Emmigrant is from Germany due to the Beer Mug and the anarchy because i think Germany was suffering from Political Unrest. This shows almost the opposite of the poem this shoes how we disgust them and wish they wouldn't come, while the poem says we accept them with open arms and won't mind them here.

  92. This cartoon is showing how Emigrants were welcome into the United States. Uncle Sam is saying that he can't turn him away, because there is no law that says Emigrants can not come to America. I think he is from Ireland because one of his bags says hungry and they had a potato famine there, and people were starving. One symbol is the gate is open, like everyone is welcome into America. It also shows the Eagle which symbolizes freedom. The poem is saying that anyone is welcome into America, from the rich to the poor. This picture shows a poor, hungry man about ready to come through the gates into America.

  93. It's showing how people are welcome to America.
    I think the guy maybe from Ireland. The bags the Emigrant has say different things, like one says disease so i think they all stand for what he is bring into America. Uncle Sam kinda didn't want to let the Emigrant in because he looked really poor and nasty but in the Statue of Liberty was like we welcome you in to our country.

    I think this cartoon is showing that America lets immigrants in and Uncle Sam does not want the emigrant here but theres nothing he can do. On the wall it say "walk in" which the emigrant feels he can. I think this emigrant is from Russia because of the things he is carrying like his bags which say Sabbath desecration. Uncle Sam is holding his nose which tells you he does not really want the emigrant there. In yesterdays poem it stated that i welcomed immigrants to America, I think todays poem means it want immigrants to come to America. By the reaction of Uncle Same it seems some people do not want immigrants in America.

  95. I like what you said, Baylee, especially about how Uncle Sam didn't really have a choice. Cailley, look again at Uncle Sam. What is he doing? Does that really show that he wants the emigrant to come into AMerica?

    The picture is showing the emigrant asking Uncle Sam if he can come in to America. I think that the immigrant is from a Western European country. I can see symbols all over his bags and belongings. Like on his bag it says that he bring disease and poverty to the country. This picture is like the liberty poem because Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty are both welcoming emigrants.

    I think that this picture is showing that even though people did not like the immigrant there was no law to stop them from coming to America. I think that the immigrant is from Russia because he has a bag that says poverty.On one of the pilers there is a dollar sign so that proably means that America is expisive. yester days picture made me think that America wanted the immigrant but in this photo Uncle Sam makes me think that he does not want them but there is nothing that he can do about it.

  98. I think that uncle sam is thinking in his mind that he doesn't want him here but there is no law against it so he can. I'm not so sure where the immigrant is from but it could be some where that had a disease going around because on one of the bags he is holding says disease. Some of the symbol i see is and U with an S inside it. This cartoon are both showing freedom because the Statue is showing light(which means welcome) and in the cartoon on one of the post it says welcome.

  99. Samantha Smock 8R4 I think this cartoon is showing the way that other people as in Uncle Sam treat emigrants that just want to settle in that country to see how it is. Uncle Sam's actions tell that he didn't want the emigrant to come in but there was no law to keep the emigrant out. I think the immigrant is from Ireland, Iceland, and United Kingdom somewhere around those countries. Yesterday the poem said that they were very welcome but some people weren't very welcome. Some symbols I see is diseases why would somebody want emigrant that came into the country with diseases.

  101. I think this cartoon is showing how some people did not want immigrants to come america. I say this because Uncle Sam is holding his nose. I think the emigrant is from russia because on his bag it says poverty on it. I see the words on the pillar. which it say welcome,walk ins.

    I think the cartoon is showing Uncle Sam reluctantly letting an emigrant into America. I think the immigrant is from a country that was very poor and filled with disease. I think he was from France or the Netherlands. I saw symbols of poverty and disease. Yesterday, the Statue of Liberty represented nice welcoming to America, and today the cartoon shows that America was a little bit reluctant to let certain emigrants come to America.

    I think the cartoon is showing that immigrants are welcome to America. I think the immigrant is from maybe either Ireland or maybe even Germany. Uncle Sam has his hand on his nose most likely because the immigrant smells and the immigrant is poor u can tell by the way his clothes are and what he looks like. In this cartoon it shows that he don't really want the immigrants there and in the poem yesterday it talked about how we wanted them to come to America.

    I think that this cartoon represents an emigrant coming to our country, which was said to be open and to have no discrimination, but he was stopped in the path by the Americans who didn't like the immigrants at all. I think that the immigrant is from Russia because there were religious problems and the emigrant is wearing a Jewish hat(I don't know what they are called) and his barrel says Sabbath(a bible term) Desecration(I think that means discrimination). The gate says "welcome", "walk in", "admittance free" on it, but Uncle Sam is snuffing him and saying that he has to let him in, not that he wants to. This cartoon shows that there was a lot of discrimination against the immigrants but where the poem yesterday was talking about how amazing America was.

  105. This cartoon is showing that people in america can dislike immigrants but there is nothing to keep them out there is no law. I think that this guy is from ireland because he has a big beer keg on his back. in this picture i see a dollar sign on the brick and uncle sams pants are red white and blue so that is the symbol of america. it is like the statue of liberty welcoming immigrants to the US

    I think the cartoon is showing Uncle Sam letting an emigrant in to America. I think he is from maybe Western Europe. The syombol i see in this cartoon is Uncle Sam. It compares to the Statue of Liberty because Uncle Sam is welcoming an emigrant in to America and thats is what Lady Liberty does to all the immigrants that come into the gates of America.

    This photo is showing an emigrant who wants to come in to the US and Uncle Sam is standing there and he says that he supposes so because there isn't no law of keeping him out. I think that the emigrant is from China because he is short and his facial features. I see many different symbols in this photo. I see a US symbol in the background. This is like the poem from yesterday's because it is letting the emigrant in and so isn't Uncle Sam.

  109. I think that the cartoon shows that even though America is welcoming emigrants from all over the world, that doesn't mean that the people already in America will welcome the emigrants. I can tell that Uncle Sam doesn't like the idea of emigrants coming into America, but like he said, "...there's no law to keep you out.". Uncle Sam didn't really have a choice to let the emigrant in. I know that the emigrant is poor because his clothes are ripped and his shoes have holes in them. I think that the emigrant is from Italy because his bag says disease. The poem we read yesterday was a welcoming and happy poem.
