The illustrator is most trying to say that A. Literacy tests conflicted with America's Ideals of liberty because they were designed to keep immigrants out of the country.
The United States was built on the principles of liberty and yet has fallen short of applying it several times including:
- by allowing the slave trade to be legal
- by disenfranchising free enslaved people when slavery was abolished
- by discriminating against women etc
The illustrator in this cartoon was calling attention to yet another instance of the U.S. denying people liberty by using a wall to show that the U.S. was using literacy tests to deny immigrants entry into a country that should let them in.
In conclusion, the illustrator believes that the U.S. is going against its own standards of liberty by refusing to let immigrants in based on literacy tests.
