2NC Extension Harms - #4 “Drugs Are Decreasing” 421) Drug cartels are only resorting to violence because drugs are getting harder to traffic. Extend our 1NC PERKINS AND PLACIDO evidence. This evidence proves that the status quo is solving and the plan is not necessary to stop further drug violence because it will burn out as the industry dies. 2) Increasing prices and decreasing purity proves the drug trade is decreasing. 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; Jena Baker, Senior Policy Analyst for Homeland Security in the Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies at Heritage Foundation; Jessica, Research Assistant in the Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies, at The Heritage Foundation; “The Human Tragedy of Illegal Immigration: Greater Efforts Needed to Combat Smuggling and Violence,” 6/22, http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2011/06/the-human-tragedy-of-illegal-immigration-greater-efforts-needed-to-combat-smuggling-and-violence] The dangers of illicit movement are not confined to Mexico. Thousands of illegal immigrants attempt to reach the United States annually by sea from the Caribbean islands of Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. They all put themselves at risk of abandonment, exposure, capsizing, and drowning. 2) Mexico’s government will take the economic assistance as profit and will not implement reforms to prevent immigration issues. ROBERTS AND ORTEGA, 08 [James, Research Fellow for Economic Freedom and Growth in the Center for International Trade and Economics; Israel, Senior Media Services Associate in the Media Services Department, at The Heritage Foundation; “How Reforms in Mexico Could Make the U.S. More Secure,” 5/13, http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2008/05/how-reforms-in-mexico-could-make-the-us-more-secure] Historically, Mexican leaders have taken the easy way out—encouraging out-migration and receiving large inflows of hard-currency remittances in return—rather than confronting their economy's structural problems. In so doing, they took a page from the late Marshall Tito of Yugoslavia, who did the same thing when confronted with the failure of the Communist economic system in the 1970s. Tito simply exported his surplus workers to Western Europe. While this artful dodging by the politicians has benefited the elites who control the monopolies, state-owned firms, and powerful unions that represent their workers, it has not responded to the needs and aspirations of the average Mexican citizen. Mexicans might be able to get higher-paying jobs in the U.S. as illegal aliens, but they must live in constant fear of deportation. Many of these illegal workers are young single men, the demographic most likely to commit crimes and abuse drugs and alcohol. The failure of the Mexican government to address these problems has been widely noted. According to the U.S. Department of State, for example: Mexico has become less competitive relative to other emerging economies, particularly China but also India and countries in Eastern Europe, as it has failed to address serious crime and safety issues or pass much needed fiscal, labor and energy sector reforms. Recent reports from AT Kearney, Transparency International, the World Economic Forum and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) have detailed the perceived decline in Mexico's attractiveness as an investment destination. 1NC Frontline: Solvency [2/3] 443) Mexico’s failing economy is a larger factor in encouraging weak immigration policies, and the plan can’t solve that. ROBERTS AND ORTEGA, 08 [James, Research Fellow for Economic Freedom and Growth in the Center for International Trade and Economics; Israel, Senior Media Services Associate in the Media Services Department, at The Heritage Foundation; “How Reforms in Mexico Could Make the U.S. More Secure,” 5/13, http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2008/05/how-reforms-in-mexico-could-make-the-us-more-secure] The health of Mexico's economy has a direct impact on U.S. immigration patterns. The failure of the Mexican economy to perform at peak efficiency and to realize its full potential over the past half-century has resulted in a flood of unemployed semi-skilled and unskilled Mexican job hunters seeking employment with their alluringly successful neighbor to the north. Illegal workers from Mexico are often willing to accept lower wages than legal U.S. workers will accept. U.S. employers in various labor-intensive fields operate much more efficiently than their Mexican counterparts do, and these low-wage workers magnify that productivity. The artificially low cost of this labor (which also does not include all of the taxes necessary to offset the additional costs to the government that are generated by these new residents) has created a strong demand for illegal workers from Mexico.
