This cartoon depicts a member of the Minutemen group, who is against immigration to America, watching the Mexico-American border through binoculars. A steriotypical illegal immigrant, wearing a sombrero, hands him a drink. Despite the conflicting character backgrounds, the Minuteman is completely unphased with the fact that an illegal immigrant is helping him out: his two-way radio stays deserted in the sand. With this cartoon, a question regarding the necessity for immigrants is raised: could Americans, even those against illegal immigration, survive without the services the immigrants provide us with? Though left somewhat open for interpretation, the comic does suggest that Americans should take a look and see how many elementary tasks are completed with immigrants' help: the evidence is closer than it appears.
