JM-078: Three scenes of Uncle Sam excluding immigrants
Summary
Editorial cartoon depicting three scenes in three different panels. In the top panel, Uncle Sam stands in a garden of Americanism surrounded by crows labeled "Unassimilable Asiatic Immigration" and "Undesirable European Immigration." In the middle panel, Uncle Sam is putting up two signs along the coast: "Exclusion of Chinese" and "Exclusion of Japanese Immigrants" while a figure representing Japan, a country who also has exclusion signs for China and Korea, watches. In the third panel, the same figure from Japan gestures with an angry face and Japanese Emigrants behind him, while Uncle Sam proudly shows off a sign welcoming only particular groups of Japanese people: tourists, students, scientists, etc.
