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.

What does SORAD stand for?
1:05:58. What is the Border K? 🧐
A whole lecture: in short, argue that borders themselves are bad, therefore any extra surveillance is also bad, so we shouldn't do it. Throw this into ChatGPT for a bit more: "I have a PF debate topic about increasing surveillance infrastructure along the US' southern border (Aff), IN BRIEF, how would I run a Borders Kritik on this, arguing that borders themselves are problematic / divisive / anti-poor / racist. What would be the high-level key points, and how can I argue that these impacts should make me win the debate round?
1:01:25 what did you say? “No difference between surveillance tech and [?]”
ahh, 'no direct connection between surveillance tech and arrests'
For aff is it better to make the contentions about how unsecured the border is or is it better to show how effective surveillance is?
Do both, show there's a problem (insecure border and negative effects from that) then present a solution (surveillance infrastructure)
thank you so muchhhh! the goat fr
Hey Joel, thanks very much, I really appreciate the lectures, quick question. About the Kwan 21' card, how necessarily could that be used to attack someone if they say "illegal immigrant"?
That's probably above my paygrade, but I'd look up the Language K / Rhetoric K, generally you say the judge should vote against the person because their language (misgendering or saying '3rd world countries' or something) is harmful. It's kinda in-the-weeds for PF, I wouldn't run these unless Ks are somewhat common in your circuit.
*I meant thank you my glorious king 👑
incredibly welcome, happy it helps!
I love you
love you too!
"Ace Ventura" AFF Case... Contention 1: Deploy the Dolphins!!🐬 ... Contention 2: More Doggies!!🐕 ... "Come to me jungle friends!!" My opponent argues that I'm racist against migrants... well, my opponent seems to be pretty darn racist against giving out government jobs with great benefits to hard working members of the animal kingdom!😋
Thank you Jessie Chen. 💛💙💛💙
I love that in the boat experiment, you gave us a fill in the blank boat... Challenge accepted!! 😁 -- fills Mexican border boat up with South America's best under 25 male soccer talent, sends it to America -- ⚽⛵ 👮CBP: Hey!! You guy's can't be here!! Go back!! 🚨 🏅USMNT (Men's National Team): Whoa whoa whoa... hold on just a second there... you boys in the boat!! How many goals did each of ya'll score last season!? ¿Cuantos goles? ⚽🥇🥈🥉🤩 That is the only scenario I see ANY boat getting through ANYWHERE... And it has to be MALES-- USWMNT doesn't need help like our boys do, our women's team kicks butt already.🥇⚽ Also, that outcome worked out a lot better than any China scenario I ran through my head... ⛵Boat Crew: ¡Hola! ¿Cómo estás? 😀 🐲People's Republic of China: 🪖👮🚀🎆
😅😅 I love how you ran with that. Yes, there's certainly some exceptions.... A few places are probably more humanitarian than the States, and others just don't have the infrastructure to patrol all their borders so they'd probably be easy enough to sneak into...
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?
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.
@@DebateTrackSorry, I read this earlier and completely forgot to respond 😭 But thanks for the feedback!
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. ;)
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.

There are some assholes asking to have Sec 230 repealed. Some Imageboards and Forums has been notorious for having doxxing and trolling plans recently, keeps me reminded how the public loves to mess with the ones controlling everything they use.

No the US government should not forgive student loan debt because Taxpayers like you and I are on the hook because it is not federal government monies , the federal government is paid by the taxpayers to manage the student loan debt.

Bleached American meat is coming to European markets near you
Yehhhhhh that white meat ain’t white enough
Hi, wouldn't neg be stronger though, because if the aff argues fro the benefits, the neg can go for these contentions plus the fact that it would harm many other people like previous events have done because tariffs are lowered.
It’s really hard to say! The difference might be slight, there’s probably 25 things that matter more than sides (order, confidence, prep, etc)…Aff is just my gut feeling
For harm, the evidence Free Trade helps people is stronger / more plentiful vs evidence it hurts people
This is what carrying the whole PF population looks like.
😭😭😭 I love PF thank you for your kind kind comment my heart melts
🥳 M-V-P... M-V-P... 👏👏
YOURE THE MVP MR BROOKS
Thank you the video was very helpful. in your opinion which side is stronger and why?
It's hard to say without seeing how arguments develop during real rounds but I'd say Aff -- there's simple link chains into simple impacts, and that's always powerful as a starting point. I like potential Neg Imperialism & Civil War arguments, but they're a bit more technical
Thank you goat 🙏

Is there a priority list of weighing argument such that you use them in order of importance when arguing
Great question, short answer is No- you prioritize the ones that can help you win, where you have an advantage over your opponent. But the ‘big 3’ Magnitude, Probability, Timeframe- in general those are first considerations vs the others. Even that is a generalization though.
yo just wondering why is this in a different format as the other PF debate topics that you've done before (pro vs con) cuz it would be a little easier to write down the reasonings
For this topic I did both formats ….just trying out a shorter version alongside the full lecture
what about magnitude vs scope?
Thanks. I need this. A debate tournament sent me this video and said it's a useful resource. Turns out it really is!
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?
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.
Thank you so much this video really helped my partner and I so much!
Happy it helped!! 🫡
Thank God, Allah, Yahweh, and the Dalai lama for bringing me this morsel of knowledge which I shall use for inspiration in my States case.
Directly inspired by Horus, but the others helped as well.
Gosh the amount of information you need to know for this topic is daunting
Yeah I probably go overboard on the Background sections....the context can be useful but not all necessary
@@DebateTrack this is definitely a topic where the more context the better! I always appreciate the background you do before diving into the contentions
thank you soso muchhh
You're so welcome Ploppy 🌞

16:55 was this really the 2019 March topic? NSDA says it was Resolved: The United States should promote the development of market rate housing in urban neighborhoods

Thank you! I am a Chinese student studying in international school and attending to America Highschool next year. However, in PF, I never broke the semifinal......
