Hey look it’s a political cartoon.
Wow, what a deep, intelligent and powerful message distilled into a single image panel by a cartoonist who thought about this issue in a deep, intelligent and powerful manner, decided that this was the best way to make a deep, intelligent and powerful point about that issue and then dedicated a significant amount of their deep, intelligent and powerful time (for me that’s more than 15 minutes) to illustrating their deep, intelligent and powerful political message. Political cartoons have always been popular and a very interesting way to begin a conversation, draw attention to an issue, sustain a conversation or make the position of one or a group of people clear about something as divisive as SB 1070.
Now the cartoon above would be all of the aforementioned, that is deep, intelligent and powerful, if it wasn’t lazy AND potentially super offensive to large groups of the population that might sympathize with any deep, intelligent and powerful underlying message.
Come on now, you can do better.
For those of you wondering what the fuss is all about with the SCOTUS decision over SB-1070, below is an infographic (courtesy of ACLU Nationwide) explaining the four separate components of the legislation, as well as which one was upheld and which ones were struck down.

The solidarity is so beautiful and inspirational that it almost brings tears to my eyes, that is if I were capable of producing them.
Groups working with Latino immigrant communities in Phoenix and other cities across the state are actively discussing protest measures – from mass demonstrations to a refusal to carry papers even if they are full US citizens – in preparation for what they fear will be the introduction of blatant racial profiling by the authorities.”

One method under intense consideration, he said, would be for as many as possible of the more than 1 million Latinos living in Arizona with full citizenship rights to refuse to carry papers with them as they went about their business. If they were stopped because they looked Hispanic or spoke Spanish, the police would be duty bound to arrest them and explore their immigration status, which if replicated thousands of times would snarl up the system to such a degree that the new provision would become unworkable. “The aim would be to make the law so difficult to enforce that there would be a reconsideration of it,” Gutierrez said.
Haha, resistencia a cualquier precio.
