Statue of Liberty Cartoon - Political Satire Illustration #1893118 (License: Personal Use)

This editorial cartoon by Darrel Cagle portrays the Statue of Liberty as an imposing, disillusioned figure holding her torch and tablet, while her foot crushes a small, exaggerated character wearing a sombrero and poncho. The image uses stark linework and expressive features to convey criticism of U.S. immigration rhetoric and xenophobic narratives. Signed and credited to MSNBC.com, it reflects early 2000s political discourse.

Used in news editorials, op-eds, or educational materials discussing immigration policy, nationalism, or political satire; targets readers seeking critical analysis of U.S. socio-political issues.
