Extension – Perception Key (__) (__) The perception of the Muslim ban discourages top international intellectuals from a variety of countries from joining the US workforce which destroys economic competitiveness. Forbes, 2017 (John, Financial Columnist and Author, Here's How Trump Muslim Ban Will Slam U.S. Economy, ) Another economic deal-killer is that immigration curbs prevent top technologists and other professionals from entering and staying in the U.S. A number of blasted the Trump order this weekend, saying that it was hurting their ability to move and retain top talent. Amazon's he would back Washington State's legal challenge to the ban. and Chairman Bill Ford also said they oppose the ban, joining a wide range of Democratic senators and Republicans John McCain and Lindsey Graham. Most of all, any punitive immigration ban discourages people who want to start businesses and prosper in the U.S. from emigrating. I know a young Syrian lawyer who's trying to move here from Saudi Arabia to start a business in America and is stymied in his diligent efforts to start a new life. The whole prospect of immigration discrimination is un-American. Promising researchers, engineers, academics and professionals will stay away from the U.S. if the know they're not welcome or will be routinely detained and interrogated at U.S. airports. I know one Iranian scholar who's been arrested and detained in his own country and came to the U.S. for academic and religious freedom.
Extension – Economy Resilient (___) (___) No impact- Empirically US economy resilient Kliesen, Regional Economist, 2015 (Kevin, economist at Federal Reserve Bank, Growth Is Resilient in the Midst of Uncertainty, The Regional Economist, ) On Aug. 11, the Bank of announced a policy change that effectively caused its currency to depreciate by about 3 percent over the following two days. This action took many people by surprise. Then, on Aug. 24, the Shanghai stock market index plunged by more than 9 percent. Many global financial market participants, policymakers and economists began to worry that China was slowing more than most forecasters had suggested. In response, demand-sensitive commodity prices—like those for crude oil—fell sharply, adding to the volatility. In the span of five trading days in late August, the Dow industrial average declined by more than 1,800 points, or a little less than 11 percent, and the St. Louis Fed Financial Stress Index rose to its highest point in more than 3½ years. But in the midst of this turmoil, the regular flow of data indicated that the U.S. economy was likely to continue to advance at a moderate pace in the third quarter—somewhere around 2.5 percent. First, consumer spending, spurred by surging auto sales, was brisk. Second, labor market conditions remained vibrant. Average monthly job gains thus far in 2015 are nearly 200,000; the unemployment rate in September was 5.1 percent, well below the median rate since 1960 of 5.8 percent. Third, housing activity strengthened further in July. Home prices were continuing to increase, and homebuilder confidence was at levels last seen in 2005. Finally, because of improving finances, construction spending by state and local governments was on the upswing and hiring by them was advancing at its strongest pace since 2007.
