Using Dr. Seuss To Explore Refugee/Asylum Politics

Dr. Seuss actually drew this cartoon. (It’s snopes confirmed.)

You may already be talking about the doomed voyage of the the S.S. St. Louis in discussing U.S. apathy towards refugees during WW2. This Dr. Seuss cartoon is a wonderful addition to that discussion, and it has the added benefit of being made current again with the message on the mom’s shirt: America First.
