Heres a possible effect that closing boarders might have. We close the borders and keep more and more people out. Due to the lack of immagrent workers, farmers start having to pay more money, for generally less work. Due to the higher expense of labor, food prices increase, further affecting and weakening our countries economy. Also, have you read the article on the one town that is split between Mexico and US? If we close off the boarders... Then that town, and probably many others, will be killed.... do we want that at this point??? http://www.debate.org/debates/Borders/1/comments/ 2008-09-28T02:46:15-08:00 http://www.debate.org/debates/Water-Boarding/1/ (Voting Period) What if we knew someone had information about a possible terrorist attack... but we couldn't get it out of them? What if we had been able to STOP 9/11 before it happened? What if we were able to save hundreds of lives by merely causing a single human being extreme discomfort and even maybe anguish? Who are we to say that the mistreating of a few people is wrong, even if it saves many? Search inside yourself, and think, if I could either be tortured against my will or save even a few lives of mothers, fathers and children, would you? So what is the torture if one person against the lives of hundreds??? http://www.debate.org/debates/Water-Boarding/1/comments/ 2008-09-27T15:59:51-08:00
