Illegal Immigrant Workers

Here is an editorial illustration I did for an article about the US dependency on illegal immigrant labor.

Great illustration! I wish I could see the article… Things are messed up in Mexico. By letting illegals come here to work it’s like letting open a pressure valve where people who might be pro-active about change there instead end up here.

So then it becomes a matter of supply-and-demand driving down wages in certain job markets. By no means should we be “dependent” on foreign labor.

It all just has the effect of widening the gap between rich and poor — when these people should be at home fighting that corrupt government. Yes, I know that’s no easy task.

I like that you put it the a wall between the figures, even with the critics inside of the USA about the israel wall around the Palestinians territories it looks that the USA is doing the same on the mexican border. Europe is starting to think discussing to build also “walls” – what a strange world we are living.

Nate,
Your work is really amazing!
Conceptual and graphically speaking.
I used to be a chilean ilegal Illustrator in Spain but now I have everything in order, it is a relief.
I am starting to work with serigraphies, it is a whole world.

Congratulations.
Paloma
