Thursday File Available April 25, 2013

Apr 25 2013 09:50 AM | South-X in Thursday File

From the author Ryan Galloway find out more about him and the file inside:

This week, I wanted to do three things with the Thursday file.

#1: Update the file to account for the effect the Boston bombings had on immigration reform. You'll find a wealth of evidence post the bombing on both sides of the uniqueness debate. If your opponent's evidence doesn't assume the backlash against the bill caused by the bombings, you'll be in good shape. In addition, a debate about whether or not immigration reform solves or causes terrorism has popped up, and you have evidence on both sides of that controversy.
#2: Provide you with links versus the major cases you'll encounter this weekend. The file is updated to include links against: the Bering Strait, DOD Cases, FRB cases, Homeland Security actions, the Mayport base, port security, TSA, and a host of new cards on both sides of the Winners Win debate. I tried to ask myself what I would want going into the TOC, and links to popular cases was top of my list.
#3: Strong affirmative answers. I've put in a 2ac front-line with extensions for the major arguments. Immigration reform was the only version of politics I saw run at NDCA, so being deep on your affirmative blocks is critical to success

For the time being, the server has been moved to a different network range that should be clear. I'll be investigated the best option to prevent and recover from this sort of attack in a more timely fashion.
