It refers to a once very "heterogeneous" culture that is merging into a more "homogeneous" society. As more people come to America, the more we are blended together with other nations and essentially become a melting pot.

Evidence: In this cartoon, we see that America is the melting pot and the other countries are pouring into our nation. ]]> 2022-03-31 13:12:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tbroberson/b8vjo1wmgyt24v50/wish/2123554557 1789: 14th Amendment (G) tbroberson https://padlet.com/tbroberson/b8vjo1wmgyt24v50/wish/2123564833 The 14th Amendment states that all citizens are guaranteed equal protection under the law. It also lays out the requirements for being a U.S. citizen. 

Evidence: The Constitution is portrayed as a "welcome mat" for immigrants coming into our borders. The 14th Amendment is found in the Constitution.

The American government supported this movement through congressional mortar by implementing anti-Chinese laws. 

Evidence: People of all different ethnicities are building a wall to separate them from the Chinese. Italians, Irishmen, Africans, and Americans (identified based on colors of clothing) are working together to keep the Chinese on the other side of their wall. ]]> 2022-03-31 13:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tbroberson/b8vjo1wmgyt24v50/wish/2123573474 1882: Chinese Exclusion Act (J) tbroberson https://padlet.com/tbroberson/b8vjo1wmgyt24v50/wish/2123581268 This was the first significant law restricting immigrants from entering or becoming residents of the United States.

Evidence: The wall alludes to only keep the Chinese out based on the words, "Chinese Wall." ]]> 2022-03-31 13:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tbroberson/b8vjo1wmgyt24v50/wish/2123581268 1893: Looking Backward by Joseph Keppler (F) tbroberson https://padlet.com/tbroberson/b8vjo1wmgyt24v50/wish/2123593765 This cartoon shows an immigrant entering his new home and being greeted with a nasty wave of rejection by those who were once in his position.

Evidence: The shadows of the so polite welcoming committee show that they were once struggling immigrants but, as we can see, they are well off now. ]]> 2022-03-31 13:32:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tbroberson/b8vjo1wmgyt24v50/wish/2123593765 1917: Barred Zone Act (I) tbroberson https://padlet.com/tbroberson/b8vjo1wmgyt24v50/wish/2123602324 America began giving a literacy test to newcomers which reduced European immigration. 

Evidence: The cartoon shows Uncle Sam hiding behind the American walls and turning away outsiders if they were unable to understand the literacy test. ]]> 2022-03-31 13:36:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tbroberson/b8vjo1wmgyt24v50/wish/2123602324 1921: U.S. Participation in WWI (B) tbroberson https://padlet.com/tbroberson/b8vjo1wmgyt24v50/wish/2123610458 Our nation's involvement in the First World War fanned the flames of the anti-immigrant mindset. Tensions rose between immigrants trying to come from Southern and Eastern Europe. 

Evidence: The funnel in the cartoon depicts the limited number of Europeans that we allowed into our nation. A staggering 3%, as seen on Uncle Sam's sign, were allowed to enter. ]]> 2022-03-31 13:40:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tbroberson/b8vjo1wmgyt24v50/wish/2123610458 1924: Indian Citizenship Act (C) tbroberson https://padlet.com/tbroberson/b8vjo1wmgyt24v50/wish/2123616381 This Act granted the right to citizenship all Native Americans who were born in the United States. This also provided them, the people we invaded, the right to vote in the nation that we derived from them. 

Evidence: In the cartoon, an American is seen talking to a Native American. We can draw the conclusion that he is gesturing him towards the voting booth behind them or explaining to him that he now has the right to participate in the privilege that is voting. ]]> 2022-03-31 13:42:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tbroberson/b8vjo1wmgyt24v50/wish/2123616381 1966: Cuban Adjustment Act (A) tbroberson https://padlet.com/tbroberson/b8vjo1wmgyt24v50/wish/2123650543 This act provided Cubans permanent citizenship and resources to get on their feet solely because they were a neighboring nation to the United States.

Evidence: The cartoon shows that Uncle Sam is protecting the woman from Cuba by hiding her under the flag and shielding her from the other men in the cartoon.]]> 2022-03-31 13:57:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tbroberson/b8vjo1wmgyt24v50/wish/2123650543 2012: DACA (E) tbroberson https://padlet.com/tbroberson/b8vjo1wmgyt24v50/wish/2123658378 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was an executive act by former President Barrack Obama. This protects children that were brought to the U.S. without citizenship. They are automatically granted 2 years of protection and resources which can be renewed but this does not grant them citizenship. 

Evidence: The Statue of Liberty, a symbol of our nation, is protecting an infant from the politics of our country (represented by the donkey and elephant in suits).]]> 2022-03-31 14:01:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tbroberson/b8vjo1wmgyt24v50/wish/2123658378 2017: Wet Foot/Dry Foot (H) tbroberson https://padlet.com/tbroberson/b8vjo1wmgyt24v50/wish/2123665151 This concept was originally a "special parole policy for Cuban immigrants." It allowed Cubans to immigrate to America and obtain permanent residency within a year. In 2017 this idea was retracted.

Evidence: The cartoon shows the U.S. denying service to a man from Cuba.]]> 2022-03-31 14:04:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tbroberson/b8vjo1wmgyt24v50/wish/2123665151
