POLITICAL CARTOON ANALYSIS European Immigration Issues

The European Union flag will be in some of

these cartoons. That flag looks like this:

Many European countries have experienced a huge increase of

immigrants from Asia and northern Africa in the past 10-20 years. These

immigrants have brought languages, religions, and general cultures that are new

for Europe.

Many of the new immigrants live in

their own neighborhoods within

European cities. Many do not learn the

new language. Many keep their own

traditions and religion. Even though

Europe needs the immigrants to work

jobs, a lot of Europeans don’t like

having so many new immigrants from

different backgrounds.

European governments are struggling to deal with the large number of

immigrants – legal and illegal – in their countries.

There are many different views in Europe about immigration. Analyze these

political cartoons. What is the theme of each cartoon?

Write the letter of each cartoon in the space on your paper that best summarizes

the theme of each cartoon.
