The cartoon shows Trump inside a circular wall labeled 'TARIFFS,' declaring he built the wall, with a figure marked 'CONSUMERS' puzzled that it's supposed to keep people out. Tags like trump, tariffs, threats, Mexico, Canada, China, trade, wall, prisoner, consumers underscore the irony. The image critiques how tariffs meant to protect against foreign threats from Mexico, Canada, and China end up trapping domestic consumers like prisoners. This visual metaphor draws on Trump's famous wall promise, flipping it to show trade policies harming those inside. The dry humor lies in the reversal, where the wall imprisons rather than excludes, commenting on economic fallout.

On March 27 2024 Angel Boligan published a cartoon responding to Texas Senate Bill 4. The image shows the Statue of Liberty being hauled over a tall brick wall lined with barbed wire. Armed officers labeled POLICE stand below near a patrol car. A red streak marks the wall top. The piece addresses the new state law authorizing local police to arrest migrants. SB4 had recently taken effect before facing court challenges. The visual places the national symbol in direct conflict with enforcement actions at the southern border.
