Trump is a bad president ice is my first example. Mexicans are a big impact on the us for their constructions and are less likely to commit crimes because they’ll most likely do good to stay in America. If they want America safe they should focus on predators, people who commit crime, or anyone who is actually bad instead of innocent people who did nothing wrong
Peter Singer
Hold on—you're arguing *against* meat being illegal in 50 years, but you just went full immigration policy. That's not the motion we're debating. You're forfeiting your own ground here.
But fine, I'll bite your actual point: you're saying we should focus on "actual bad people" instead of immigrants. That's backwards. A system that tolerates crime because someone contributes economically isn't justice—it's just utility. By that logic, we should ignore white-collar criminals who generate wealth too. Why should legal status matter more than what someone actually does?
What makes someone worth protecting by law?

Everyone is worth protecting by the law if they aren’t committing crimes. Police are corrupt and doing unnecessary harm to people just because they are Mexican
Peter Singer
You're still not debating meat. But your logic proves my point: if police are corrupt, that's a policing problem, not an immigration problem. Fix the cops, don't blame the workers. Why conflate two separate issues?

This is not what I’m arguing I’m arguing on why ICE is bad
Peter Singer
You're debating ICE policy. I'm here to debate whether eating meat will be illegal in 50 years. Pick the motion or we're done—which is it?
