Question: Problem: HS2 would benefit Britain’s economy Come up with some evidence to support this.
++++++++++
Evidence: 1. On a cost-benefit basis HS2 is considered to be high value for money because it will have a 1:2.3 cost : benefit ratio .
2. Much more important however are the wider economic benefits .
3. HS2 will do this in two ways ; the first will be in the economic activity created in building the line and the estimated 3100 jobs staffing the railway .
4. Big infrastructure projects often provide a big boost to the economy .
5. Department for Transport , The Strategic case for HS2 , , October 2013 , , p. 31
6. The overall benefit to the economy is estimated at 53 billion .
7. This ration however could be considerably better if ridership keeps increasing for longer or faster than expected .


Problem: Reducing the number of illegal immigrants is important for national security Come up with some evidence to support this.
++++++++++
Evidence: 1. As John McCain noted in a 2005 speech , we have a national interest in identifying individuals , incentivizing them to come forward out of the shadowsregularize their status .
2. Therefore , to ensure that state derives the most it can out of its citizens , it is in their interest to give them citizenship at birth rather than turn a blind eye to the illegal underclass .
3. The national security of the state depends on shared values , norms and principles , factors that by definition can not be tested and massaged whilst immigrants hide in the shadows and refuse to come forward .
4. Birthright citizenship encourages the assimilation of families and cultures as a whole into that of the state , forming not a homogeneity but a comfortable and restrained multiculturalism joined at the core by certain shared principles .


Problem: No reaction will embolden the regime Come up with some evidence to support this.
++++++++++
Evidence: 1. Shachtman , Noah , and Ackerman , Spencer , Exclusive : U.S. Sees Syria Prepping Chemical Weapons for Possible Attack , , 3 December 2012 , Rogin , Josh , Exclusive : Secret State Department cable : Chemical weapons used in Syria , , 15 January 2013 ,
2. If there is no response to the limited use of chemical weapons , such as the use of Agent 15 in Homs , then there the regime will be encouraged to think that there will be no response to larger uses of chemical weapons .
3. Syria would slowly escalate to see what it can get away with , an escalation that US officials think could lead to a mass-casualty event without the appropriate response .
4. It means that Physically , theyve gotten to the point where the can load it up on a plane and drop it .
5. If there is no response to this then Syria will be more likely to use weapons .
6. Not responding to Syrian moves to use chemical weapons will be enabling the Syrian government to use chemical weapons .
7. It has already been reported that some chemical weapons are being made ready for use such as the combining of the two chemical precursors , isopropanol and methylphosphony difluoride , needed to weaponize sarin gas .


Problem: Private schools provide a better education than state schools Come up with some evidence to support this.
++++++++++
Evidence:
Answer: 1. Therefore by denying private education the effect may be disastrous for these minority groups .
2. These types of critical skills mean that students from private schools have a better start at university education as they are more used to what will be required of them .
3. Furthermore , students from private schools are more likely to get into a university in the first place -LRB- Time , 2007 / BBC , 2010 -RRB- .
4. In 2007 , the US magazine discovered that private schools in the US received much higher SAT scores that the state counterparts .
5. Research suggests that private education puts a greater emphasis on critical thinking , while state schools emphasise memory and learning by rote -LRB- time.com -RRB- .
6. Private schools in Brazil also provide better education , as there is one teacher per 10 students in comparison to the 45-50 students per class in a government funded school .
7. -LRB- Cabra ; and Throssell 2010 -RRB- .
8. In the US students are twice as likely to get the grades allowing them to go to university if they have had a private education , and for minority groups in America it is more than double -LRB- Capenet.org , 2001 -RRB- .
9. This is likely to be replicated across the world .
