This cartoonist is trying to represent the silliness of the promises made by the Zimmerman Note. Zimmerman, in a typical helmet worn by German officers, is whispering to the Mexican man, wearing the sombrero. This is certainly stereo-typing the Mexican people as silly, Sombrero-wearing people. It seems ridiculous that Zimmerman is whispering, AND holding the sign up, because it shows that it wasn't really that secret.
I like this cartoon, and I think that the cartoonist is representing the situation well.
