=Borderlands QI 1AC=

Part One is La Frontera:

The borderlands are defined by the rigid barriers that we impose on people of the strict categorization of ethnicity, race, class, gender that serve as the structure for various forms of oppression. Not only are the borderlands defined by the modes of thinking we have in the status quo but also the geographic spaces we have.

 "The thesis of global social change via radical self-knowledge and transformation
AND
transformative nature of Anzaldua's writings in general and in her Borderlands in particular." 

Breaking down the borderlands is key in order for Latinx youth to challenge their own identities and positions in society and lead to real world change.

AND
Denver Journal of Border Educational Research Volume 6 l Number 2 l 2007  DD

"Although decades ago the U.S. Census Bureau began forecasting that Latin@s would become the largest minority group in the United States of America, in 2005 ordinary citizens were surprised to learn this projection had become a reality. For some, the reality that Latin@s comprised 13 of the U.S. population (Pew Hispanic Center, 2005) was a hard fact to swallow. The additional prediction from the U.S. Census Bureau ~predicts~ that by the year 2050, Latin~x~@s will comprise approximately 25 of the U.S. population (U.S. Census Bureau, 2004) presents an even more difficult fact for intake. As researchers it is baffling to note that many school districts ignore these demographic changes until families come knocking on school office doors. The realization of Latin~x~@s becoming a significant student population in urban, suburban and rural U.S. schools is a demographic change mandate~es~ing that legislators, policy makers, educators ~to~ and ordinary citizens examine stereotypic information regarding how to best educate a social group who, by all accounts, will continue its very rapid rate of growth (Chapa and De La Rosa, 2004). While in the past, addressing the educational needs of Latin@ youth was conceived within deficit standpoints of who they are as a monolithic bloc and how they threaten both the future of the English language and U.S. resources, research finds that most Latin@ youth are born in the U.S., and prefer to speak and read English (Zentella, 2005). Additionally, these youth are growing up in order to work in the technical, sales, and administrative support sectors (Chapa and De La Rosa, 2004) of 21^st  century America. They live productive lives in families whose buying power is growing at impressive rates. Thus, we argue that the education of adolescents living in the current demographic reality cannot be addressed with deficit orientations accepted in the past. Instead, we argue that in U.S. schools experiencing "the Browning of America" (Aponte and Siles, 1994; Johnson, et.al. 1997) students must be approached with affirming orientations. These approaches must effectively address Latin~x~@ students' educational struggles as they cross a myriad of borders on a daily basis in order to remain engaged in schools."

==Part two: El Problema==

====Meet US citizen and latinx adolescent Juan Mendez who was shot to death by border patrol agent Taylor Poitevent for allegedly being an illegal alien. ====

On October 5, 2010, Border Patrol Agent Taylor Poitevent, uniformed and on
AND
about 15 feet away from Poitevent, and both shots hit him.2

This very border patrol agent was later granted qualified immunity. Qualified immunity functions in order for governmental authorities to maintain their position in society and value their lives over other unarmed citizens. The discourse of this court case presents the image of Latinx lives as being lesser than that of a border patrol agent—it was either Poitevants life of Mendez's and somehow we allow the normalization of murder to protect the law even if no real threat or law had been broken.

"UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS." International Legal Materials 20.3 (1981): 650-53. Web
Poitevent and the United States each moved for summary judgment. The district court granted
AND
continue summary judgment in order to give them an opportunity to conduct discovery. 

A similar struggle confronts people that aren't US citizens but are killed by border patrol—without having the citizen rights that Americans do, there is little justice for those with violence imposed on them. Sergio Hernandez, a Mexican citizen was playing with friends in Ciduad Juarez when shot to death by Officer Jesus Mesa who was on the US side of the border in El Paso, Texas. The supreme court is to hear this case in 2016 to clarify where the jurisdiction of law extends to and if Mesa will be granted qualified immunity with no clear contradiction to the constitution.

Part three: El Papel

The judge should adopt mestiza consciousness in order to challenge the Borderlands.

Dualistic thinking is the root cause of all oppression. Adopt the mestizo consciousness and break down dualistic modes of thinking. The Borderlands are a thought experiment that forces us the imagine people, identities and cultures as they exist in various overlapping borderlands. Engaging and transcending rigid barriers leads to a psychic break that could lead to global change.

The judge has a voice in the debate community and speaks through their ballot on the topic. By adopting the mestiza consciousness, the judge shifts from an objective to a subjective position. The objective position forces the judges to divorce themselves from their subjective feelings, which guide their actions, i.e. intuitions. Subjectivity reintroduces the others voice into debate. Koh and Niemi '15

(Ben Koh, Rebar Niemi, How Do I Reach These Kids?: An Affirmation of Polyvocal Debate, http://nsdupdate.com/2015/09/15/how-do-i-reach-these-kids-an-affirmation-of-polyvocal-debate-by-ben-koh-rebar-niemi/, September 15, 2015)
In debate, the collaborative way voices intertwine builds a world of speech and frames

The pedagogical practices should also be used to give Latinx students the ability to express themselves. To silence the Affirmative by T/Theory is the silence of Latinx culture.

Churchill, 3 (Ward Churchill, I am Indigenist: Notes on the Ideology of the Fourth World, Acts of Rebellion: The Ward Churchill Reader, p. _)
Not only is it perfectly reasonable to assert that a restoration of native control over unceded lands within the U. S. would do nothing to perpetuate such problems as sexism and classism, but the reconstitution of indigenous societies this would entail stands to free the affected portions of North America from such maladies altogether. Moreover, it can be said that the process should have a tangible impact in terms of diminishing such things elsewhere. The principle is this: sexism, racism, and all the rest arose here as concomitants to the emergence and consolidation of the eurocentric state form of sociopolitical and economic organization. Everything the state does, everything it can do, is entirely contingent upon its maintaining its internal cohesion, a cohesion signified above all by its pretended territorial integrity, its ongoing domination of Indian Country. Given this, it seems obvious that the literal dismemberment of the state inherent to Indian land recovery correspondingly reduces the ability of the state to sustain the imposition of objectionable relations within itself. It follows that realization of indigenous land rights serves to undermine or destroy the ability of the status quo to continue imposing a racist, sexist, classist, homophobic, militaristic order upon nonindians.  A brief aside: anyone with doubts as to whether it's possible to bring about the dismemberment from within of a superpower state in this day and age ought to sit down and have a long talk with a guy named Mikhail Gorbachev. It would be better yet if you could chew the fat with Leonid Brezhnev, a man who we can be sure would have replied in all sincerity—only three decades ago—that this was the most outlandish idea he'd ever heard. Well, look on a map today, and see if you can find the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. It ain't there, my friends. Instead, you're seeing, and you're seeing it more and more, the reemergence of the very nations Léon Trotsky and his colleagues consigned to the "dustbin of history" clear back at the beginning of the century. These megastates are not immutable. They can be taken apart. They can be destroyed. But first we have to decide that we can do it, and that we will do it.   So, all things considered, when indigenist movements like AIM advance slogans like "U. S. Out of North America, " nonindian radicals shouldn't react defensively. They should cheer. They should see what they might do to help. When they respond defensively to sentiments like those expressed by AIM, what they are ultimately defending is the very government, the very order they claim to oppose so resolutely. And if they manifest this contradiction often enough, consistently enough, pathologically enough, then we have no alternative but to take them at their word, that they really are at some deep level or other aligned—all protestations to the contrary notwithstanding—with the mentality which endorses our permanent dispossession and disenfranchisement, our continuing oppression, our ultimate genocidal obliteration as self-defining and self-determining peoples.  In other words, they make themselves part of the problem rather than becoming part of the solution.
 

Only having a willingness to exterminate the settler can ensure the destruction of U.S. colonialism.

Their interpretation of debate is an attempt to erase Indigeneity to create another space of exception which is key to maintain the sovereignty of settlerism

Primitivos hacia el Norte,

Tres períodos conformaron,

Meso Indio, Neo Indio

Luego llegó la conquista,

En el Centro y hacia el Sur,
Colón, enviado de España,
llega con sus artimañas,
disimulando glamour,
y con todas las patrañas,
al indígena, en talud,
destrozan tal cual pirañas.
En tres siglos que duró,
dicha colonización,
esclavitud se conformó,
bajo el yugo y sumisión.
Africanos secuestrados,

Our existence in this place isn't neutral. Welcome to Dallas- a land muddled with a genocidal history- the Kiowa, Comanche, Sioux, Crows, Blackfeet  and other tribes were systematically exterminated in order for structures like St. Marks.

Decolonial art does not abdicate or abandon the present; it re-inscribes indigeneity

There are forms of colonialism in which we are not usually aware of, such as the Nuclear! Nuclear production, at every stage, happens at the risk of the lives and culture of indigenous populations. Whether it be through of exploitation of natural resources, testing or dumping, these forms of nuclear colonialism and environmental racism are well and alive today.
