Contention 1: The Status Quo
THE TREATMENT OF BROWN BODIES TODAY STEMS FROM THE ERASURE OF INDIGENOUS UNDERSTANDINGS OF MOTHER EARTH- ITS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO WORK IN THE DOMAIN OF SCHOLARSHIP TO REVIVE A DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WORLD AND DEBUNK THE MYTH OF NATURE
Mignolo 2011 [The Darker Side of Western Modernity: Global Futures, Decolonial Options. Duke University Press. Director of the Center for Global Studies & the Humanities, William H. Wannamaker Professor of Literature & Romance Studies, and Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Duke University. P. 3.]
We, scholars and decolonial thinkers, can … and in mutual relations of interdependence.
The representation of the brown body is part of this myth- imagined as a tool of energy production while obtaining the reputation of environmentally destructive. The hegemonic construction of the brown body creates alienation of the brown body
Lanette & Wu 3 [Robin, Diana Pei, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND ENVIRONMENTAL RACISM AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY AND GENERAL OVERVIEW, FOCUSING ON U.S. LITERATURE, 1996-2002,
INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL STUDIES, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY; BERKELEY WORKSHOP ON ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS,
(http://dlc.dlib.indiana.edu/dlc/bitstream/handle/10535/3889/B07-TurnerWu.pdf?sequence=1)//js-tuffy, 01.10.13, p.]
The first narrative marks brown bodies … characterized as to some degree alien. (Gilmore 2002a: 21)  

Contention 2: Impacts

These metaphorical representation are not neutral –it is implicit with presumed knowledge that reinforces depictions that dehumanizes immigrants and produces misguided political decisions
Cisneros 08 [J. David, Contaminated Communities: The Metaphor of "Immigrant as Pollutant" in Media Representations of Immigration, Rhetoric & Public Affairs, Volume 11, Number 4, Winter 2008, pp. 569-601, Michigan State University Press,
Rhetorical theory and cognitive science teach … extant literature on metaphors of immigration. 

Like the immigrant body who is seen as trash/wasteful –waste is seen as cyclical problem disappearing and reemerging for the simple use of consumption. The existence of the immigrant is solely for the production of things, this ontological condition is one of disposability
Kennedy 07 [Greg, An Ontology of Trash, State University of New York (January 11, 2007) Pg. 52-53]
Of course, the bulk of this …phenomenon of this unique ontological mode
 

Images of toxic waste –products of energy production are tied to the same depiction of the immigrant body, which are seen as toxic pollutants. This criticism is not limited to one aspect, immigrants are seen as physically disrupting hoarding up space
Cisneros 08 [J. David, Contaminated Communities: The Metaphor of "Immigrant as Pollutant" in Media Representations of Immigration, Rhetoric & Public Affairs, Volume 11, Number 4, Winter 2008, pp. 569-601, Michigan State University Press, P11-16]
Popular media coverage of public issues …economic contamination situated throughout our cities.

 
Advantage 2: Disposability
The life of the immigrant is one reduced to bare life
Giroux 8 [Henry A., McMaster University, and Hamilton, Canada Beyond the biopolitics of disposability: rethinking neoliberalism in the New Gilded Age, (http://web.ebscohost.com.lib-proxy.fullerton.edu/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?sid=19be60d8-2aa3-45c7-b87a-d03e0e456c5b%40sessionmgr11&vid=2&hid=28)//js-tuffy]
The politics of bare life also…visible in all of these examples. 

 
These practices including policing the immigrant dehumanize and produce violence and disposability of the immigrant body
Rosas 6 [Dr. Gilberto, University of Illinois Dept. of Anthropology, THE MANAGED VIOLENCES OF THE BORDERLANDS: TREACHEROUS GEOGRAPHIES, POLICEABILITY,AND THE POLITICS OF RACE, p.5]
Policeability thus also captures the daily… reversals of such forms of power

 
Human energies in the neoliberal economy –specifically Mexicans become a renewable energy source. This is problematic, human energy becomes an energy that can be degraded and transformed and constantly sought to be maximized.  
Smith-Nonini 11
[Dr. Sandy, Adjunct Assistant Professor in Anthropology Dept @ UNC Chapel Hill Medical Anthropology, Ph.D. & M.A. 1993 UNC Chapel Hill, Graduate Certificate in Latin American Studies, B.S. Duke University Volume 30 Issue 5, The Illegal and the Dead: Are Mexicans Renewable Energy?, p.13-15]
Bray (2003) used the term "productivist farmers" …as little more than "embodied energy."
 
Contention 3: RoB
Your role as a critic is to evaluate the debate on who best produces change for the disposable immigrant body

1. You prefer our Role of the Ballot claims over any competing claim because focus on any other issue risks that the immigrant body –those forgotten faces continue to be left out from the greater political
   2. We can produce in-round solvency –by disputing the metaphor and highlighting attention to the aspect of production, specifically energy production, we begin to understand that the energy needed to produce the awesome things in our lives came at the expense of dehumanized labor
   3. Questions of production are at the heart of the resolution –we believe we produce discussion on relevant issues rather than irrelevant arguments that do not have any significance to the reality of the immigrant as renewable energy
