- Rigsoup - Actually, immigration (illegal or otherwise) has been on a steady decline in the US while European countries have been on a sharp increase. Those "risking their lives" to come to the US are most likely coming to the US because it is the closest western country to their own, or, alternatively, because they already had family here. Hmm... lets see... cross a small section of the Atlantic/Gulf of Mexico, or cross clear across the Atlantic. Not much of a choice I'd say.
On another note, the US still has slaves, is exploiting immigrant workers, and has many of the same human rights issues that China (the country still apparently welded to the wall in this imagery) has... Do other western "free" countries also have these problems? Some of them sure do, but, for many, it is a much lesser degree than in the US. Instead of just assuming/blindly shouting that America is the best/most free country in the world because that is what you have been told since you popped out of your mother's vagina (or alternatively because that is what the radio/tv hosts tell you to believe), why don't you visit other countries, do some UNBIASED research on other countries, and think FOR YOURSELF. Novel idea, I know...
And, while you clowns are at it, read some real literature about the health care systems in other countries that are BETTER than the US... many countries have higher life expectancy, lower IMR, lower health care costs per capita, and greater overall health, among many, many other stats, and yet somehow Americans still believe they have the best health care system in the world. "Well we don't have to wait in line..." Yeah, but you still pay more, die sooner, and have worse health overall, so blow it out your piehole.
(Yes, I am well aware thise stumble had nothing to do with health care, but the same people that would post/stumble an image like this are the same people that would spout off about how US health care is so great, so I couldn't resist adding it in) - Rigsoup - Actually, immigration (illegal or otherwise) has been on a steady decline in the US while European countries have been on a sharp increase.

I think this is accurate - though more countries depicted would have made it a lot more interesting.

- inaccurate and too opinionated to say the least.

- yeah, you don't see anyone from europe in this picture cos they're already well down the street.

- A clever artistic piece, although not entirely accurate in my opinion. The US is not the freest country in the world (especially lately), that's just a slogan politicians say. Political scientists have chosen various criteria to come up with lists that rank freedom and democracy, and there are usually dozens of countries ahead of the US. The freest countries in the world, like them or not, are the northern European ones. (found via Jfo)

- yeah i guess propaganda serve the ideas that they want to communicate. This one is a real nice way to do it. But the captions may have been ad to an innocent artistic performance, no ?
