1. Daryl Cagle and Michael Ramirez's cartoons shows the flexibility in border patrol policy in the United States. In both there are ways to circumvent vaults or fences for illegal immigrants to enter the U.S. Both also show the incentives to cross into America; Cagle's work shows that while the government tries to keep illegals out, once one has hopped the border, there are the perks of lemonade, education, jobs, and health care. Ramirez's cartoon makes entrance into the U.S. look ironclad, but there is always an entrance for those who are willing to work for cheap.
2. The cartoons by Daryl Cagle and Michael Ramirez focus on the leniency the government allows for the entrance of illegal immigrants, while it promotes strong anti-alien policies.
3. The cartoons by Daryl Cagle and Michael Ramirez focus on the mutual benefits of illegal immigrants entering America such as education and cheap labor, respectively, while the government promotes strong anti-alien policies.
4. The cartoons in Figure 1.12 and Figure 1.13 by Daryl Cagle and Michael Ramirez focus on the mutual benefits of illegal immigrants entering America such as education and cheap labor respectively, while the government contradictory promotes strong anti-alien policies.

This is a good start but try to answer the "so what?" question. I think if you reword this it would be a stronger thesis statement. Instead of using the word "focus" take a stronger stance and say something like "shows by ******** the mutual benefits etc."
