1AC: Mexico Security Affirmative 5Contention One is Inherency: Current United States policy towards Mexico does not create successful cooperation on security issues along the border. 1) Obama’s policies toward Mexico are inconsistent and fail to address the key issues of immigration and security. WALSER, MCNEILL AND ZUCKERMAN, 11 [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] This violence is augmented by an inconsistent policy by the Obama Administration, which downplays the risks of illegal migration, and an unorganized U.S. border security strategy. Exacerbating the problem is that enforcement of immigration laws inside the United States has been inconsistent—leaving a significant economic incentive for further illegal immigration. The escalating violence, ad hoc border security, and spotty immigration enforcement demands a more comprehensive and robust strategy for combating human smuggling, violence, and the huge numbers of illegal aliens. Such a strategy should include the following elements: Continued partnerships with nations to combat human smuggling and to dismantle trafficking networks throughout the region; Concerted efforts to promote justice and law enforcement reform, as well as free-market reform throughout Latin America to foster healthier economies, and thus weaken the incentive to migrate; Rejection of proposals for amnesty which give incentives to illegal immigrants; An organized strategy for integrating border manpower, technology, and other resources into an enterprise capable of responding to threats and decreasing the flow of illegal aliens across the border; Increased interior enforcement in the U.S. and reforms in legal immigration aimed at discouraging illegal entry; and Creation of an active public diplomacy program to educate potential illegal immigrants on the risks of such a journey and the consequences of illegal entry into the U.S. 1AC: Mexico Security Affirmative 62) The new Mexican government is decreasing cooperation over drug security with the U.S. NEW YORK TIMES, 13 [Randal Archibold, Damien Cave, and Ginger Thompson; “Mexico’s Curbs on U.S. Role in Drug Fight Spark Friction,” 4/30, http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/01/world/americas/friction-between-us-and-mexico-threatens-efforts-on-drugs.html?pagewanted=all&_r=1&] But shortly after Mexico’s new president, Enrique Peña Nieto, took office in December, American agents got a clear message that the dynamics, with Washington holding the clear upper hand, were about to change. “So do we get to polygraph you?” one incoming Mexican official asked his American counterparts, alarming United States security officials who consider the vetting of the Mexicans central to tracking down drug kingpins. The Mexican government briefly stopped its vetted officials from cooperating in sensitive investigations. The Americans are waiting to see if Mexico allows polygraphs when assigning new members to units, a senior Obama administration official said. In another clash, American security officials were recently asked to leave an important intelligence center in Monterrey, where they had worked side by side with an array of Mexican military and police commanders collecting and analyzing tips and intelligence on drug gangs. The Mexicans, scoffing at the notion of Americans’ having so much contact with different agencies, questioned the value of the center and made clear that they would put tighter reins on the sharing of drug intelligence. There have long been political sensitivities in Mexico over allowing too much American involvement. But the recent policy changes have rattled American officials used to far fewer restrictions than they have faced in years. 1AC: Mexico Security Affirmative 7Contention Two is Harms: Drug-related crimes in Mexico are causing violence to spill across the border, hurting the U.S. economy and security. 1) Mexico is the center-point of the U.S. struggle with drug importation and violence, and the cross-border drug trade causes massive economic upheaval and corruption in Mexico. 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]
