1.1) http://www.fairus.org... ^Note the above source is FAIR's complete study/paper on the source you are citing. a)The education section doesn't account for the benefits of educating children, such as higher wages, and other benefits that come with education. For example probably the most known Title 1: education program is head start (early education) which creates $9 in economic benefits for every $1 spent, this means that your source is inaccurately portraying the costs that these children "impose" on Americans. http://news.prnewswire.com...= b)Medicaid fraud. Your sources makes a rather odd assumption that the number of illegals who go to an emergency room because of a life threating medical emergency is equal to the number of illegals defrauding government health programs. This assumption is ridiculous, everyone who is hit by a car and taken to an ER by paramedics isn't activity defrauding the government c)Your sources numbers don't add up in the B2 section they overinflate their final number by over 100%. d)You're source is also double counting on the B3 section. They counted some emergency medical procedures twice. e)I could go through the whole paper and pick it apart like I did above, but after browsing it I found a huge glaring hole in your sources study. You're source failed to include taxes that illegals pay, and the increased economic output of illegals economic activity. Sections a-e prove that your source is invalid and incorrect because your source double counts costs, and excludes numbers from the equation. Now I will post actually studies that include the whole equation. The National research council found that overall illegals pay thousands more in taxes than they get in benefits http://www.reason.org... They Perryman group found that in total illegal immigrants add 250 billion dollars to economic output every year. http://www.reason.org... 1.2) The US has checked for the safety of imported goods for decades without the need of a border fence to do it. The FDA/USDA already checks food products for contamination, building a wall across the border isn't going to expand their inspections. My opponent needs to explain why all of the sudden we need a border fence to do things we've been doing for decades. 1.3) Homeland security and other crime related agencies already make attempts to combat human trafficking. A border fence just makes it so human traffickers just use a differ route. A better solution would be to set up drones along the border and just have a police agency arrest people spotted on the drones; however with a border fence people would switch to digging tunnels and using boats making it much harder to find them and make the arrests. 1.4)I doubt the economic benefits of reducing the sale of certain goods is more than the hundreds of billions of dollars illegals contribute to the American economy. 1.5) I have a better solution for the drug problem. Legalize the drugs and the problem goes away. 1.6) In effect the lack of new illegal immigrants entering the country would reduce taxes, and economic output by more than what we would lose by catching people smuggling in goods. 2.1-2.3) I don't see a fence that cost 2.6-7 billion dollars and .4billion a year to maintain as effective; especially given the fact that the fence keeps immigrants out of the country who otherwise would enter the country and contribute hundreds of billions of dollars to our economy.
