On any given day, a Mexican woman will be promised a good paying job
AND
human trafficking must take into consideration both countries’ interests through a bilateral partnership.

Contention Two is Disposability

We have all heard the catchy song lyrics about "what happens in Mexico"
AND
processes create a society where peace and prosperity are possible for all citizens.

This modern form of slavery affects millions of oppressed persons worldwide—we need to act both via legislation and through our speech-act

Dehumanization makes every impact inevitable—it is the equivalent of nuclear war, environmental collapse, and genocide

Berube, 97 (David, professor of speech communication, Nanotechnology Magazine, June/July 1997, http://www.cla.sc.edu/ENGL/faculty/berube/prolong.htm)
Assuming we are able to predict who or what are optimized humans, this entire
AND
inevitable for every epoch has evil and dehumanization is evil’s most powerful weapon. 

The politics of disposability leaves entire populations open to eradication- this ignorance of human dignity has become politicized, and will ultimately be the death of politics
Giroux ’10 (Henry, Professor of English and Cultural Studies at McMaster University, previous professors at BU, Miami U, and Penn State "Memories of Hope in the Age of Disposability", published 9/28/2010, http://archive.truthout.org/memories-hope-age-disposability63631-http://archive.truthout.org/memories-hope-age-disposability63631 ~SG~)
The new culture of cruelty combines with the arrogance of the rich as morally bankrupt
AND
march aimed at destroying every public sphere essential to a vibrant democratic state.

Victims on both sides of the United States-Mexico border ¶ would greatly benefit
AND

Contention Five is Framing

A crisis focused ethic is wrong – attention to isolated instances of warfare ignores the daily horrors of structural violence. This is the precondition for any war to happen
