This document is a caricature drawn by Kal and published in the Economist in 2008.
We can see a big white and old man with long and white hair. He wear a long and blue jacket with blue star on his wrist. His pants have red and white stripe. With his right hand he hang a big hat that was drawn star and stripe. This man wearing clothes which represent le American flag.
This cartoon deal with immigration.
This old man is Uncle Sam; he often personified the United-States in political cartoons. Uncle Sam symbolize the government and its power. All around him, we can see twelve people who are taking care of him. They represent immigrants came from different countries. They wanted to live the American Dream but in fact, they are considered as domestic and they held unskilled jobs. That’s why Kal drew them smaller than Uncle Sam.
The author wanted to denounce the USA because it pulls all the profits from immigration and power thus rests on these people without whom it wouldn’t have such power.
Kal criticizes the American society using Uncle Sam’s image that often personified the United State in political cartoons.
En français: oncle Sam
