Donald Trump's Policies Are Just

Hey everyone, I have accepted the Debate and will be debating that Donald Trump's policies are not just. My opponent has not placed some specific rules and regulations, so I'll just jump right in to counter his points first and then move ahead with my own. I) Immigration Policy This is a really controversial topic but I have evidence against it. Firstly, The 11 million-plus undocumented immigrants living in the United States contribute an estimated $11.84 billion in state and local taxes each year, according to a study by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. That"s a conservative estimate based on 2012 numbers. It"s now thought to be closer to $12.6 billion. The study, based on data from 50 states, calculates that comprehensive immigration reform would boost the U. S. " annual revenue flow by an additional $2.2 billion. . http://www.epi.org... Secondly, the cost of deportation is extremely high. The Center For American Progress once estimated that the five-year cost of enforcing a mass deportation strategy in the U. S. would be $285 billion. . https://www.americanprogress.org... A total cleansing of all undocumented immigrants would take approximately 20 years and cost U. S. taxpayers between $400 billion and $600 billion, according to a more recent study by the American Action Forum. Thirdly, let's ask ourselves honestly, really are all Mexicans rapists, drug dealers and terrorists? The answer, even though it may be a hard pill to swallow for all pro Trumpsters, is no. Not all Mexicans are terrorists. The argument that undocumented immigrants are "criminals" and/or "rapists" is so preposterous and unsubstantiated that it doesn"t merit a serious response from any sane-minded person. Immigrants usually do jobs such as entrepreneurship. Infact, most Mexican immigrants are more likely to start businesses than US citizens. Immigrant-owned small business"defined as those with at least one and fewer than 100 employees, and in which more than half of the owners were immigrants"has jumped 58 percent since 1990. (There were 3.1 million such businesses in 1990; in 2010 there were 4.9 million. ) They were responsible for 538,551 new small businesses during the 20-year period, or roughly a third of all those created. . https://www.americanexpress.com... And Lastly, With an estimated cost of $4 million per mile, building an additional 700 miles of a border wall along the U. S. -Mexican border would cost ". um, hold on one sec, carry the one, add three more zeros"about $2.8 billion. Also, immigrant labor " which currently represents some 20 percent of the construction labor force " won"t be building that wall on the cheap, so you better plan to budget some extra coin to afford unionized U. S. bricklayers at $22/hour. In short, the per-mile cost of building the wall will be much more expensive than the per-mile cost of building a tunnel underneath it. . http://fusion.net... . http://www.huffingtonpost.in... 2) Ban on Muslims I firstly want to make this absolutely clear, if Trump got his way and actually put a ban on Muslims, trust me it would not in any way be "temporary". You can see for yourself over here . https://www.donaldjtrump.com... "Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States". Secondly, i would like to point out that Islam and Radical Islam are two completely different things. Muslims follow the religion of Islam and not Radical Islam as my opponent put it. Just because you saw maybe a dozen or a thousand videos of Terrorism by a Muslim person, does not in any way mean that the entire 1.5 billion Muslims out there are terrorists and ought to get you. Thirdly, let me clear my opponents misconception that "The ban will prove a point to ISIS and their plans to infiltrate the American nation by showing Trump is willing to take any measures necessary". No, absolutely wrong. Let me put it more simply. The ISIS, Al Qaeda and other Radical Islamists are looking for opportunities to attack the citizens of the world. Donald Trump's policies will just further their hate for the western world. Policies like banning Muslims will be considered a downright offense in their eyes and they will conduct more of these hideous crimes like mass shootings and bomb blasts to get their message across. . http://www.politifact.com... . http://www.businessinsider.in... . http://www.businessinsider.in... Can you actually believe this? Trump being featured in an ISIS propaganda video? New points - 1) Against ObamaCare (GOP Debate, February 2016) During the wonkiest moment of last week's GOP debate, Trump repeatedly and repetitively argued " to much mocking by Marco Rubio " that "we have to get rid of the lines around the states" so that there's more competition. But few experts think that such a reform alone would do much to reduce costs or expand coverage in a post-ObamaCare world. Indeed, most center-right health-care plans include it as only one component of far more comprehensive reform. If "selling insurance across state lines" is the core of your ObamaCare replacement plan, then it roundly deserves to be mocked. Now let me elaborate on how important ObamaCare is and will be in America. . Rand reports that in summer of 2013, there were 42 million uninsured Americans. By February of 2015, that number had fallen to 25.8 million. That is, nearly 17 million more Americans have health care than before Obamacare. The country"s uninsured rate was 17.1% in 2013, and it declined dramatically to 11.9% during the first quarter of 2015. 2)"I believe global warming is the single biggest problem in our country, but it"s made of the nuclear variety, do you understand that? That"s the one we have to be careful of. " Because we have a president that talks about global warming and he doesn"t talk about the other problems that we have. " Here Trump tells us that Global Warming isn't important. Trump"s underlying policy goal here is actually dismissing calls for federal action to cut U. S. emissions by raising the profile at a presidential level. Policies like these and more that I will cite next round are the reasons why Trump's Presidency is questionable. --------------------- Ending in a happy note, however. Hope to hear from you. Thanks! :)
