European countries should stop receiving immigrants from other non european countries

I would like to apologize that it took so long for a reply and thank Vladimir for such a quick response. Please check out my footnotes for further comments and source citations.Rebuttal:1. Plagiarism?First of all, Pro did not cite the source of his information and statistics. I did some verification and found out that his whole passage contains 62% of unique content, in other words, it is highly likely that pro plagiarized from a source. That source is a viral Youtube video named “Muslim Demographics” posted by a user named “friendofmuslim” on March 2009. Given that, pro’s argument is almost a word-by-word copy of what is said on the video. Here’s the link: “http://youtu.be...; Pro’s arguement is a copy and paste job from the video’s transcripts (http://religionresearch.org...) that even spaces and punctuation are almost identical. With this said, I will not take this into account this time but urge pro to write further arguments with his own words, if quotes are to be made, I strongly suggest using quotation marks and include the source at the footnote.2. Rebuttal This video and data set is used widely in Atheist sites, however, it contains some misleading and rich in fallacies. In the video, the narrator mentions the high possibility of a demographic threat (Definition: “The concept of demographic threat (or demographic bomb) is a term used in political conversation to refer to population increases from within a minority ethnic group in a given country that are perceived as threatening to alter the ethnic identity of that country.” - Wikipedia [1]). I will now present my rebuttals as a response to the video. (a) There are very limited accuracy to the video’s interpretation and statistics“Of all population growth in Europe since 1990, 90% has been Islamic immigration” This statement is half true, in European countries in 2005, 85% of the countries’ population consists of immigrants, however, this statistic is based on ALL immigrants, including roman Catholic immigrants, Chinese immigrants, Jewish, etc. Muslim immigrants do not consist even half of that.“France: 1.8 children per family. Muslims in France: 8.1 per family” This statement is rather easy to debunk, French government does not have this kind of information based on religion group. Additionally, Government censuses and both private and public surveys proved to be inaccurate since a religion is not a feature that you can distinguish easily without observing one’s behavior and family. Religion profiling has proven its failure historically such as the German profiling and filtering of Jews based on their family backgrounds before and during WWII. Many non Jewish Germans are killed in holocausts. Rebuttals for this particular video goes on and stated clearly at the BBC and Snopes.com article. I am, however, not here to debunk a video, but to argue that immigration in European countries should continue; these two articles does a better job at that: - [2] http://news.bbc.co.uk... - [3] http://www.snopes.com... I shall now present my arguments against pro’s stance.Stance: Europe should continue it’s immigration availability. (1) Immigration does not negatively affect GNI (Gross National Income)Since you mentioned a lot about France, this information will be France-Based. You may find similar results in other European countries. The following is the France’s net immigration chart from 1994 to 2003, I am unable to find later graphs on this but I am sure you will agree with me and this chart that France’s immigration value increases every year. This information is given by the “National d’Etudes Démographiques (INED)” (English Translation: National Study of Demographics) [4]:(I do not know how to insert Photos, but here's the link) http://focus-migration.hwwi.de...And here is the graph for the GNI (Gross National Income) between the years 2004 and 2012 [5].(Photo of GNI: France)http://data.worldbank.org...The French development in their National income continues to grow as immigrants continue to flow into the country.(2) Cultural and demographic diversity can be healthy for the country’s economySingapore is a perfect example of an economically healthy country with the Country’s wealth ranked as one of the highest in the world and its beautiful GDP. Singapore is one also of the most diverse countries in the world.Singapore’s Immigration Policy and its effects: Singapore supports and allows immigrants to work in Singapore if they are skilled labour or having unique qualifications that can help improve Singapore’s economy. Why is this information important to the resolution? An estimated one third of its population are foreigners. Singapore is also part of a band of nations known as ASEAN (Acronym for: Association of South-East Asian Nations) which is very similar to the concepts and goals of the European Union. Singapore continues to progress its economy and is able to keep their cultural values safe [6].(3) Historical attempts of immigration resistanceThe Chinese Exclusion act of 1882 in the United States did not only proved its failure but also brought its racial tension to this this day. The act indicates the deportation of Chinese immigrants without certificates (even those employed in mines and railroad construction) and refusing further arriving of Chinese people [7]. The effects of the Chinese Exclusion Act, racism and discrimination, still adhere American Society today. “if we are familiar with the past we will understand the present, and only by learning from prior mistakes can we make informed decisions about what courses of action to take in the future”- [8] Kelly Tian, University of ChicagoThese are my arguments for now, I will continue to bring further arguments in the next rounds (to tell you the truth: it’s late and I’m getting drowsy). Best of luck to my opponent!Footnotes: Sources:Rebuttal:[1] http://en.wikipedia.org...[2] http://news.bbc.co.uk...[3] http://www.snopes.com... Stance:[4] http://focus-migration.hwwi.de...
