NCFCA Policy Debate: Case Management (NEG)

The AFF case all but eliminates detention for immigrants. They cite cost savings and improved conditions for the migrants. In reality, there are already strict rules on how immigration detention can be used in the EU. The argument on cost savings is also questionable, since migrants using case management often stay longer than those in detention. The AFF may also cite Sweden or Australia as an example of successful case management. However, both countries have flaws, with abuse in Australia and confusion in Sweden. Beyond that, detention can sometimes work as a deterrent to illegal immigration, which is good because reducing it helps the economy and can improve security.
