Migrant Crisis at the Southern Border: do we need more AI-powered robot surveillance drones?
The Southern Border is one of the hottest political topics in the US, and has been for some time. This video examines the effect that extra surveillance infrastructure would have on stemming the flow of migrants, examines the various interests involved, and questions whether there’s even a “crisis” at all. We also question the concept of borders as a construct, and the role the Military-industrial complex has in pushing government policy.
Evidence Brief ► debatetrack.com
Prezi ► tiny.cc/theborder
Resolution ► Septober 24 -Resolved: The United States federal government should substantially expand its surveillance infrastructure along its southern border.

    Thanks for the video, like always! I have a question though, at 55:47 you make the argument that the status quo is good right now which implies that the tech is working and doing its job, but then you make the arguments about tech failure and all of the reasons why the tech is ineffective, bad for privacy, etc. If neg read these two arguments together, wouldn't that be contradictory?

    • @DebateTrack
      @DebateTrack Месяц назад

      Honestly these lectures are just a bunch of arguments organized as best I can, so there's probably more than one contradiction if you ran that 20-minute screed as a case...you'd have to choose for sure, 1. SQ Good because of tech OR 2. tech ineffective. HOWEVER, putting on my Neg hat, I'd say SQ Good because of recent policies, 1. Mexican interdiction and 2. Asylum caps, and adding more surveillance tech won't do anything to change those numbers one way or the other, it'd just introduce a bunch of DAs.

    Mecian Government interdiction... wasn't that temporary and for political reasons? Could we argue that the Biden-Harris Administration success at the border is from outside forces and not due to their actions? I would like to use this line of argumentation to mitigate the CON's inherency/solvency press(es). Remember: For many it starts as a press and becomes referred to as "turns" in subsequent speeches. ;)

    • @DebateTrack
      @DebateTrack Месяц назад

      I haven't seen any indication it's temporary, but the increase seems to have been triggered at the Biden admin's request. And yes, it seems almost certain that the Mexican government's actions have made an enormous dent in the issue, maybe more-so than the Asylum limits (although it's tough to parse those out)-- but I don't think the reason that immigrant numbers have dropped matters in the status quo (unless it was directly related to surveillance tech, or as you say, the cause is known to be temporary)-- the fact is, they're way down so we don't need more infrastructure.

    @navyagottumukkala1514 5 месяцев назад

    Thank you for the lecture, it was really useful! I have a question, though. For the ineffectiveness contention on AFF about the veto, can't opponents just refute by saying that abolishing permanent membership would result in more members and therefore the veto problem won't be solved? More members makes it counterproductive, no? If you were arguing for ineffectiveness, how would you respond to that?

    • @DebateTrack
      @DebateTrack 5 месяцев назад

      There's no reason to think Abolishing P5 will result in more members -- by default, we'd just have 15, and a simple majority would pass resolutions. So more resolutions passed = more action = more effective. Good resolutions with 14/15 or 13/15 votes are common, but prevented from passing due to the veto. A better Neg counterargument may be that these votes will remain ineffective because they'd lack all superpower support, but given that even relatively minor countries like Kenya can lead major UNSEC efforts (or Haiti), it would realistically only take one superpower buy-in to make a mission successful. The BEST Neg counterargument, I think, would be that it would increase superpower friction and thus increase the chance of great power conflict, as UNSEC missions move ahead with major powers disagreeing. Thus Neg can win on weighing (great power war >>> effective UNSEC missions) vs refutation.
