1NC Frontline: Harms [3/3] 374) Drug violence that does exist proves enforcement is working because gangs are getting more desperate. Drugs are getting harder to export. PERKINS AND PLACIDO, 10 [Kevin, Assistant Director, Criminal Investigative Division; Anthony, Assistant Administrator for Intelligence Drug Enforcement Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation; “Drug Trafficking Violence in Mexico: Implications for the United States,” 5/05, http://www.fbi.gov/news/testimony/drug-trafficking-violence-in-mexico-implications-for-the-united-states]
[Ray, PhD., Senior Policy Analyst for Latin America at Heritage Foundation; and Jessica, Research Associate in the Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies at Heritage Foundation; “U.S.–Mexico Border: Tighter Border Security Requires Mexico’s Cooperation,” 2/20, http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2013/02/us-mexico-border-tighter-border-security-requires-mexico-s-cooperation] Ultimately, an effective border security policy requires a reliable security partner in Mexico. Thankfully, the objectives of Mexico’s new government are to engineer a more secure, more prosperous, and more rule-of-law-oriented future. Mexico: The Essential Partner Under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, the U.S. has already developed a considerable range of policy tools for working with Mexico. These range from the Merida Initiative and a 21st-century border management plan to the establishment of Border Enforcement Security Task Force teams, all of which work closely with Mexican counterparts. 2NC Extension Harms - #1 “Cooperation Now” [2/2] 393) Current cooperation is solving border security, and it will only get better. WALSER AND ZUCKERMAN, 13 [Ray, PhD., Senior Policy Analyst for Latin America at Heritage Foundation; and Jessica, Research Associate in the Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies at Heritage Foundation; “U.S.–Mexico Border: Tighter Border Security Requires Mexico’s Cooperation,” 2/20, http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2013/02/us-mexico-border-tighter-border-security-requires-mexico-s-cooperation] The U.S. also shares highly sensitive intelligence with Mexican authorities, who are just as concerned as their American counterparts about terrorism and transnational criminal organizations. Further, the U.S. has improved military-to-military cooperation without trying to “militarize” the fight against transnational crime. U.S. Northern Command has assumed an active role in aggressively seeking to partner with Mexico’s armed forces. A deepening of cooperation could put additional U.S. trainers in Mexico and deliver more cooperation in intelligence and operations planning but without any military “boots on the ground.” In short, the current level of cooperation between the two parties is unprecedented and will likely continue to grow. 2NC Extension Harms - #2 “No Nuclear Terror” 401) There is no risk of nuclear terrorism from Mexico. They do not have evidence that terrorists have weapons of mass destruction, only that they want to have weapons. No terrorist in history has successfully launched a nuclear weapon, and the only plausible war scenarios come from nation states which means our disadvantages outweigh. Extend our AYSON evidence. 2NC Extension Harms - #3 “Violence is Decreasing” 411) Mexico’s economy is growing, and this is leading to more stability and less cross-border violence. As long as the economy grows, this will prevent terrorists from gaining influence. Extend our 1NC ECONOMIST evidence. 2) The Merida Initiative proves the U.S. and Mexico are already cooperating to decrease drug violence. SEELKE AND FINKLEA, 13 [Clare, Specialist in Latin American Affairs; Kristin, Analyst in Domestic Security with Congressional Research Service; “U.S.-Mexican Security Cooperation: The Mérida Initiative and Beyond,” 1/14, http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/row/R41349.pdf] U.S. and Mexican officials have often described the Mérida Initiative as a "new paradigm" for bilateral security cooperation. The Mérida Initiative signaled a major diplomatic step forward for bilateral counterdrug cooperation as the Mexican government put sovereignty concerns aside to allow extensive U.S. involvement in its domestic security policies. While cooperation can always be improved, the Mérida Initiative has resulted in increasing communication between U.S. and Mexican officials at all levels through the establishment a multi-level working group structure to design and implement bilateral security efforts. On September 18, 2012, U.S. and Mexican cabinet-level officials met for the fourth time to review the results of five years of Mérida cooperation, reaffirm their commitment to its strategic framework, and pledge “to build on and institutionalize the cooperation the Mérida Initiative has established.” 29 Perhaps most importantly for Mexico, as part of the Mérida Initiative, both countries accepted a shared responsibility to tackle domestic problems contributing to drug trafficking and crime, including U.S. drug demand.
