Border Defence

< > The quota system is acceptable because it helps keep unemployment lower and the economy in check. I will get into this with further points. < > I did not contradict myself. Just because you have equal chances as someone doesn't mean you are equal to them. Example: A group of children are randomly selected for an IQ test. They are each given the same test in the same environment ("ergo" equal chances) but they all score differently. In fact, one scores unusually high at 125 and another unusually low at 70. Are these two children equal? No. I'm not saying that any is a better or worse person but the simple fact of life is that people are created differently and are not equal. < > Partial support is possible on this earth but not in this case. You can't support just part of illegal immigration. This debate is over whether or not a stronger border fence is needed. My opponent is trying to prove it isn't by saying illegal immigration is a good thing, I'm doing the opposite. However, if he is saying he doesn't support all the things illegal immigrants do, then in effect, he's not supporting them at all. He's suppose to support how illegal immigrants do things NOW, not how they should be, but how they ARE (caps for emphasis). If he is saying not all the things they do is right then he has forfeited a major part of the argument. < > It was used to illustrate an opinion, in no way was it used as a reliable source for some fact. < > Yes in a capitalist society the better worker should get the job because this naturally helps the economy. NOT, however, with illegal immigrants. With illegal immigrants the government doesn't make money off of taxing them nor in having the money put into them pumped back into the economy. This is because many illegal immigrants send about $8 billion to their families back home in foreign countries (. http://www.cairco.org...). Another after effect of the unemployment is about $15 billion in welfare and services for those who had their jobs displaced by illegal immigrants (. http://www.cairco.org...). < > Because they end up hurting the economy by taking those jobs and they cost billions in tax payer dollars of which they have not contributed. < > So you do admit that some of the money goes out of the U. S. , that is, more than an average family would export. Now when you add "some" times 10 million, I think that makes "a lot". This hurts the U. S. economy, and as we see now, when the economy goes down, the unemployment rate goes up. < > You concede to my point. The Mexican government, by the way, is getting better. However, the U. S. had to work to get where it is today, and so should other countries. We just didn't have the option to run out when the going got tough. "People" have the power to change their own government because they have the majority. When they're not the majority they're not considered the "People" anymore. CONCLUSION: Illegal immigration hurts the economy by exporting their money, not paying taxes, and raising unemployment (which causes tax dollars to go to the unemployed for welfare and other services). Illegal immigration is not legal. This debate is not over whether or not illegal immigration should become legal, it's over whether or not we should try and stop it. Illegal aliens take away jobs and oppurtunities from legal americans and gain special priveleges over other legal americans. Vote PRO in this debate. Most people say why but when I read those writings it normally comes off snotty so I won't say why. You (the reader) have read my points in the conclusion and other parts of this debate and I hope you vote for a better border fence. P. S. If any of you were wondering what this has to do with a border fence, I'll explain (at the risk of possibly repeating myself). CON was saying the border defence shouldn't get stronger because illegal immigration is good, and I'm saying the border fence should be stronger because illegal immigration is bad. VOTE PRO. Thank you and I wish CON a persuasive closing argument (as long as it's less persuasive than mine). ;b
