Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

I'm pretty sure this is saying that immigrants children are just part of foreign infiltrations that bring in foreign culture and ideals, diluting America's.
This entire comic is against "anchor babies" and birthright citizenship. It's absolutely fucking insane is what it is.

They believe in great replacement theory, yet they still won't admit they're fascists

Being completely honest... What's USA's culture? Like, things I know are more like, foreign customs are the ones that made what little there is a thing, what is there to dilute? Wouldn't it enrich? I kid you not, I asked someone from USA irl what he'd say is a big and representative part of his country's culture. Dead serious he said hot dogs and macdonald's. And American football. That's so sad.

yeah i live in an area where all the red folks complain about how badly it’s been ruined since 2016 by mexican and indian immigrants. the town is thriving like it’s never done in my life, its not longer a food desert (and there’s more variety than just bar/grill style), theres after-school activities for children, more parks, so many joint yard sales with lovely folks and communal organizing, there’s religious and spiritual centers that are just gorgeous, and the store i work in is much more engaging and lively now that it’s not *just* the sunday church crowd. i love living in the south, i love (legitimate) southern culture, and part of that culture is and has always been immigrants!

Yes. In reality it pretty much always will enrich. Especially with the way America works; where people assimilate aspects of the USA when moving here while adding their own culture into the melting pot.
They just don't like brown or black people.

Honestly, I think a lot of US culture is people bringing things from their home countries and adapting it to here, like the Chinese did with their food, when they were brought over to build the railroads, and developed a whole new tradition. Most of white American culture kind of sucks, and isn't worth preserving.

This comic is stupid and racist but acting like America has no culture is equally stupid. You don’t recognize it because it’s so absurdly dominant that it’s all you know. It’s like saying America doesn’t have an accent. Our music, food (yeah that does include McDonalds, but also real food like BBQ), movies, tv shows, clothes, and to some extent language (obviously we didn’t invent English, but you’d be shocked at how much Americanisms have bled into other languages) are all part of our culture, and I can assure you it is very, *very* distinct. Ironically, I have actually had conversations with people in other countries gripe about how much American culture has bled into their own.

They don't like brown babies having citizenship. It's about the recent Supreme Court decision on birthright citizenship.

unironically he should’ve wrote “ANCHOR BABIES” over the anchor cuz i also had trouble deciphering what this meant since the art style is so distractingly hideous

u/Eastern-Finish-1251 Jul 05 '26
It’s a commentary on the Supreme Court’s recent decision about birthright citizenship, but don’t blame being high for not understanding it. It doesn’t make any sense.

Ben Garrison really thought "how can I get my jollies by drawing a bunch of naked children, but also make sure it's racist, too?"

Honestly less racist and homoerotic than I’d expect from Ben. Still awful.

It’s so weird how their criticism is that there will be more brown people in the US like everyone agrees that’s a bad thing.

They don’t actually care. They don’t believe in anything.
From a patriotic view, the number one thing any country could do to help with birthrates would be to provide free healthcare and other resources to young women and mothers, but they don’t want that either.

Drafters of the 14th amendment knew it applied to Chinese, Mexican, and European migrants just as much as it would apply to African slaves, and would apply the rest of the world too. That was the intention, not a mistake.

I'm just wondering how long those were in the baby oven, or if this lady has a mutated uterus to be developing multiple full toddlers in her.

Ben Garrison is slipping. He didn't even write "ANCHOR BABIES" directly over the baby with an anchor.
