In 1642 the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock and if they had been greeted with all of the same obstacles todays immigrants are, they probably would have not been allowed in this country. In this political cartoon, a lone Native American chief welcomes the boatload of Pilgrims with a laundry list of requirements that must be met if the English settlers are allowed to stay in the New World. This isslustrates that the whole cartoon is a spoof on today's politics regarding illegal aliens and others who try to seek asylum and opportunity in our great country. The Pilgrims, even in their august clothing, have emigrate back to their country due to the fact they have nothing the Chief indian wants. This shows illegals in this country are always told to depart back to their country of origin correlates to the fictionious information the Pilgrims had to go back to their home country. The United States' infrastructure is able and will support more illegals if they are able to come to this country.
