Holy COW!
Illegal immigration isn't a new concept in the US. Just ask the Native Americans.

Everyone does realize, I hope, that this is a man being lauded for reproducing something a machine is better known for?  That is a marvel of the 21st century I guess.  For so long it was just opposite.  But yes, the drawings are amazing!
