1NC Frontline: Harms 202[Kocher evidence continues, no text deleted] when doubtfulness that can be constructed in verbal equations conflicts with human physical experience, human physical experience should be considered doubtful? It becomes a matter of choice and pride in intellectual argument. My personal advice is that when verbal contortions lead to chronic confusion and difficulty, better you should stop the verbal contortions rather than continuing to expect the difficulty to change. Again, it's a matter of choice. Philosophy is much like particle physics. Earlier in the 20th century the fundamental components of physical existence were considered to be the proton, the neutron, and the electron. As science developed atom smashers, and then more powerful atom smashers, these particles could be hit together and broken pieces of these components were found which might be assumed to be possible building blocks of the three primary particles. Well then, what are those building blocks made of? As more elaborate smashers are built and more discerning detection equipment is developed, perhaps still more kind of fragments or sub-particles will be found. At some point in the process we will conclude that there is a material of some kind making up matter that just IS. It simply exists. Suppose the ultimate particle is found. The conclusion will be that it simply exists. There is no other conclusion possible or available. All systems of philosophy, of science, of religious theology, eventually can be traced down to one ultimate premise. There is something that exists. It exists, and that's all we know. Existence and reality exist. If an ultimate sub-particulate material is found, in the world of chemistry, medicine, biology, engineering, and climbing stepladders; electrons, protons, and neutrons will still probably turn out to be the primary determining factors to be concerned about. That ignores some types of stuff like sub-particle based propulsion system for future space ships or something similar in a highly specialized area. Philosophical questioning has long-since reached that parallel point of the ultimate particle or building material that just IS. There is something existent that just IS and will need to be accepted as being and following a consistent pattern of lawfulness. The fact is, the questions about proving whether reality exists, and proving proof exists are, or should be, meaningless to me beyond some degree of curiosity. I go on about my life without being able to prove proof or life exists. I can go on about my life without proving reality exists. The arguments asserted one way or another do not change how I need to live my life. 5) Race is not the central motivation behind immigration policy. Without addressing economics, political power and foreign policy in general the Affirmative cannot solve. JOHNSON, 2000 [Kevin, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor of Law, University of California at Davis School of Law; “RACE MATTERS: IMMIGRATION LAW AND POLICY SCHOLARSHIP, LAW IN THE IVORY TOWER, AND THE LEGAL INDIFFERENCE OF THE RACE CRITIQUE;" 2000 U. Ill. L. Rev. 525 2000] Race unquestionably is not the full story behind the various restrictionist measures; class, social, and economic considerations also factor into the analysis. People, including U.S. citizens who are members of racial minority groups, worry about competition from cheap immigrant labor. Concerns that poor immigrants will sap public resources in a myriad of ways also enter the mix. Moreover, the political power of certain groups and U.S. foreign policy39 toward other nations affect immigration law and immigrant flows. 1NC Frontline: Harms 2036) There is already a movement for Latina/o rights that is large and successful. VARGAS, 07 [Sylvia R. Lazos, Justice Myron Leavitt Professor of Law, William S. Boyd School of Law; “FOREWORD: EMERGING LATINA/O NATION AND ANTIIMMIGRANT BACKLASH;" 7 Nev. L.J. 685 2006-2007] This current backlash also owes a great deal to the successful pro-immigrant civil rights marches of spring 2006. More than five million demonstrators, mostly Latina/os, poured into the streets in over 1000 cities. The images, which Fox News anchor Brit Hume in an unguarded moment called "a repellent spectacle,' made visually clear the emerging importance of Latina/os. These pro-immigrant marches, protesting H.R. 4437, an immigration reform proposal containing punitive provisions against the undocumented persons, were the largest civil rights marches that the country has ever witnessed, surpassing in numbers and space of time the civil rights marches of the 1960s. The marches visually made the point that this was a cross-section of an emerging America. The time when the United States can be recognized by all as a "Hispanic Nation" may be close. 2NC Extensions: Harms #1 “Law Does Not Matter” 2041) No one takes legal representations seriously, and empirical studies show that people disregard legal definitions when it suits their interests. This cuts two ways against the Affirmative; people do not have to listen to the government when it is racist, and racists will not listen to the government when it is not. Extend our MARTINEZ evidence. 2) They are trying to put the cart before the horse. Economic and social forces determine race relations, and focusing on legal policy first does nothing to solve. JOHNSON, 98 [Kevin, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor of Law, University of California at Davis School of Law; “AN ESSAY ON IMMIGRATION, CITIZENSHIP, AND U.S./MEXICO RELATIONS: THE TALE OF TWO TREATIES;" 5 Sw. J. L. & Trade Am. 121] In sum, the mere fact that the United States might be obligated under an agreement to ensure that employers do not exploit Mexican immigrants does not necessarily mean that this will become a reality. This is true even if Congress passed a plethora of laws designed to implement the accord's mandate. In the end, it is far from certain that a pact liberalizing migration between the United States and Mexico would change the status quo - the existence of a large, easily exploitable labor force of Mexican citizens in the United States with little bargaining power. To facilitate meaningful change, the nations would need to confront the social and economic forces that maintain the current system.
