1.1)The point isn't to address every point in the FIAR study; the point is to show that it Is not a reliable source. The FIAR study left out the economic benefits of education funding; that means the FAIR study is not complete and is incorrect because it doesn't address all the factors pertaining to the issue. a)This is odd; con says that we do not have the money to increased education funding even though it results in 9$ in economic benefits for every $1 spent; this means that if we follow his logic we do not have the money to build a fence. So I thank Con for providing me with another argument against the fence. : ) b)Con didn't address the point I made so I will just repost tit. "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)And my point is that Con's source contradicts itself; how reliable is a source that contradicts itself? d)Child birth is considered an emergency medical procedure; Con's source already counted emergency medical procedures meaning that counting child birth again means they are double counting. This means that Con's source is not reliable. e)Even Con's source says that they did not account for all Federal taxes; they take the IRS data and then cut it in half, why they did this they do not say. On another note they also for some reason unknown only use half of sales taxes revenue gain from immigrants; for some reason they believe that illegal immigrants only pay half the sales taxes that citizens pay. This is impossible given that being illegal doesn't mean that when you buy goods you don't pay the sales taxes on them. f)I find it odd that Con objects to me posting a source that doesn't provide a link, considering the fact that he did the same thing with his study. g)The source [14] for my opponent is also unreliable for the following reasons. It states that following welfare reform people on welfare experienced an increase in their income. The fact is that after welfare reform people on welfare experienced a 1,500 drop in their income [1]. The second reason is that it says that this is a ploy by ACORN yet the ACORN organization no longer exists [2]. Then it for some odd reason claims that all increases in welfare funding goes to illegal immigrants. The stimulus act expanded welfare funding but kept intact measures to make it so illegals cannot get welfare. PERRYMAN GROUP I apologize for posting the wrong link. http://americansforimmigrationreform.com... The group accounts for spending done by illegals meaning that money sent abroad isn't counted as spending given that it is spent in another country. They conclude that illegals add 250billion to the economy yearly (or 2.6trillion over ten years) 1.2 True but the FDA/USDA checks retailers, meaning the goods smuggled are checked unless they are for personal use or dished out to friends. 1.3 Considering the fact that human trafficking already occurs via boat and underground tunnels I think it's safe to assume that those methods will be used in the future. I still say that a better solution would be to set up drones along the border and just have a police agency arrest people spotted by 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. Also funding for police and drones are more flexible then a fence. Those drones and police can go to other places to reduce crime while a fence can't. How many terrorists attacks have occurred from people crossing in from Mexico? 0? I don't find the rhetoric of a bunch of anti-immigration republicans especially Rick Perry as very convincing arguments that terrorism is a problem on the southern border. 1.4 Most of these counterfeited goods aren't useless goods they are just goods that are made by companies who do not have the patent to make them. 1.5 Alright so all the drug kingpins who want to sell drugs will exit the crime stage while all the criminals who want to stay criminals will move on to something else. Also considering that almost all the drug cartels kidnappings occur in Mexico building a fence won't decrease kidnappings. Also violence and crime has been steady falling along the border area, in fact border cities are safer than non-border cities, [3]. This means that the myth that the border region is experiencing extensive amounts of crimesis unfounded and just scaremongering used by politicians to gain political points.
