Centerville CY – Affirmative – Refugees

Contention one is the status quo

Initially note that the refugee is the damned figure in international politics, contemporary discourse creates them as outsiders and allows them to be placed in a zone of indistinction

Diken sociology at Lancaster U 2k4 (Burlent, "from refugee camps to grated communities: biopolitics and the end of the city" Citizenship

studies vol 8 no 1)

Current policies dictate that health services are offered only to refugees with ID-cards; this reinforces the idea that refugees are

less than acknowledged citizens

Regt 07 (Marina de Regt, PhD Amsterdam School for Social Science Research, "Refugee, Woman, and Domestic Worker: The Multiple Tensions Faced by Somali Women in Yemen," July 2007)

The nation state must be the primary actor in our attempt to denaturalize the exclusions of sovereignty. Integrating currently

excluded refugees throws the concept of national identity into doubt- the boundary between the insides and outsides of sovereignty becomes indeterminate and porous. Such a move is necessary to human survival and the possibility of politics.

The figure of the refugee should be used to initiate political resistance against sovereignty. Criticizing the denial of healthcare

rights to refugees exposes the less-than-human status given to non-citizens. This subhuman positioning of life is a prelude to the

worst atrocities in human history.

Next, maintaining sovereignty through borders allows for violence and the perpetuation of wars, only through integration of refugees into local communities can we reject this notion of defining identity based on borders.

Finally, reinforcing the boundaries of the African nation state is particularly dangerous, these artificial products of colonialism lack

legitimacy and culminate in extinction

The United States federal government should support the integration and strenghtening of health services between displaced persons and local communities in areas designated by the resolution. we shall clarify :)

Contention II is solvency

Local integration is a comparatively better solution for refugees, it allows for the strengthening of overall services for everyone, not

just those who are citizens of a particular country. This notion that all people should be recognized as equal regardless of citizenship is capable of creating political change.

Moreover, development assisted integration is distinct from the curret camp system, refugees are no longer separated from the rest of the population; integration allows flexibility for both refugees and locals by strengthening existing services.

Next, the US is key, it contributes the most money to refugee programs and refugees themselves look to the US

Moreover, endorsing an ethic of care for refugees that recognizes and accepts people and their needs as important is essential to finding a true solution, only then is global social justice is possible

Robinson 2k6 (Fiona, Department of Political Science at Carleton University, "Care, Gender and Global Social Justice: Rethinking

'Ethical Globalization,'" Journal of Global Ethics Vol. 2 No. 1 June 2006, pp. 5-25)

Finally, the ethic of care produces contextual sensitivity and reveals the interdependence of humyn beings, only through changing policies through the ethic of care can we successfully address inequality
