Note:
An unfurled scroll ripped in half separates two faces that look away from each other to opposite sides of the print. The
face on the left is indigenous, and words on his half of the scroll read, "La Frontera, Aztlán, Tragado de Libre Comerce Rico,
Dompe, Rodillas, Justicia," and "Indio". The face on the right wears a helmet and a grate over the mouth with the words "English
Only". Words on his half of the scroll read, The Border, Acquired Land, Free Trade, Dump, Rodino Bill, Just U.S." and "Slave".
On either side of the faces are words and images associated with the border. Background is a gradation from blue to pink.
