I can see in this cartoon a speech bubble that states, "I'm not sure more zeros will help...". I see a car labeled "border security" and the "border", which is composed of a long number. There are ladders, planks, a lot of footsteps, and a person was has ran across this "border". The message of the cartoonist is that Obama is wasting federal funding of border patrol as it does not help that much. This cartoon relates to the issue of illegal immigration to the US. This issue has been mentioned in class by the lawyers as well as the regular class. The use of irony and satire shows that the federal funding is a waste of money.
