By the Number
There is this newspaper column called "Ask a Mexican" by Gustavo Arellano, where he answers racial tension questions about Mexicans. A reader had asked him once, "why is it when you fight a fight a bean, you end up fighting the whole burrito".
I drew a Vickers WWI machine gun in response to that question. Looking closely at the bullet belt, you see little mexicans with sombreros. It means there is power in numbers.
"they are taking over by numbers"

Driving force
Immigrants, not just from Mexico, is what the US of A is made up of. We are simply a nation of immigrants. Even the ancient Native Americans where immigrants. They had their own river to cross. The only real natives are the buffalos.
Laws need to be overhauled to facilitate a smoother transition for both sides. Simple, government should help its people, that means future citizens too.

Immigration Dogs
This piece is part of a two types of papers, a semi-transparent vellum sheet on the front and a white Bristol/smooth paper.
The concept of the robot evolved from the classic arcade game "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". In the game there are these robots that drill up and rope you to shock you. This would be a perfect immigration invention. Robots that will do our biting.
In the bottom layer is a picture of Himmler. And I don't think he had anything to do with immigration.
The two were combine randomly. There was no specific reason. I was just trying to find out if the layering of a semi-transparent worked with another image.
I think it worked out fine.

This drawing was a reaction towards western pragmatism. Who better models than the Nazi Party. The Germans contributed incredible work ethic, science, and engineering during WWII. Notice that the American soldier with the 'bucket' Nazi helmet design.
Our pragmaticism is fault why the U.S has such a poor culture/arts/music. Always cutting corners, always trying to figure out a profit.
