The affirmative case argues that Frontex, the EU’s border control, needs greater accountability. They claim that Frontex routinely violates human rights and practices “refoulement” – illegally preventing migrants from living in the EU. This can be combated in several ways. First, you can argue there is no need for the Affirmative plan, since there are numerous accountability mechanisms already in place. Additionally, Frontex doesn’t illegally practice refoulement. You can argue that the accountability methods would be ineffective as the JPSG, the organization after which the affirmative models their accountability is ineffective. Finally, there are a couple of disadvantages to the affirmative plan. First, they use money for accountability that would otherwise strengthen Frontex and increase its effectiveness. Secondly, they allow migrants to challenge Frontex in court, which would lead to frivolous lawsuits from disgruntled immigrants.
