MOTION#1

OPP
Good morning dear judges and fellow debaters. I
am Remas Hani a debater from Amna Bint Wahab
school, dear sir/madam today we are to state why
we must not limit the emigration of the highly
skilled workers. And why we don’t support it?
Allow me sir/madam to start by refuting what the
first speaker from the prop team claimed, she
claimed that
Now that I have done my refutation id like to start
with my arguments So as the opposition team, we
stand against the policy presented in the motion.
We believe that this policy will not solve the issue at
hand, being the emigration of highly skilled
workers, but it will only worsen the situation by
causing more problems, which will cause more
emigration. From a highly skilled worker’s Point of
view, emigrating from their country would be better
for them as this country (government) does not give
them the attention (value) they deserve, that can be
found in different forms such as salaries, respect,
better life circumstances, etc. All of which may not
be found in their mother country. According to a
study done by students at a university recorded
from a group of emigrants, about 74% of emigrants
are treated better by their host country and live
better lives than they would have had in their home
country. This is not to say that developing countries
do not appreciate their highly skilled workers, if
anything, they know the most about how much
manpower is necessary for development, they are
more aware than any other that without their
people they will never get anywhere, but why
should the highly skilled worker stay somewhere
where their skills and talents and arduous work is
not being compensated accordingly, you may say
their country appreciates them, but appreciation
does not pay the bills. It does not put food on the
table. It is not enough. Tell me, dear judges, and
audiences, if you had the opportunity to go to a
developed country and live a life that reflects your
skills, hard work, and status, or stay in country that
does not provide that just because it is the country
you were born in, which would you choose? If you
decide that that is what you and your family
deserve, then that is on you, but for me, I will never
accept my family living in a worse condition just
because a developing country might need me when
an already developed one is giving me a wonderful
opportunity on a golden platter to thrive. That is not
selfishness, that’s simply basic common sense and
survival instinct. an example I would like to give in
support of my argument is India. Indians are among
the most educated and skilled workers in the world,
according to an article published by the Indian
express, close to nine in ten Indians either have a
bachelor’s degree (35% vs 33% globally) or a
postgraduate/master’s degree (54% vs 47%
globally). Another 6% hold a PhD as their highest
level of education, which is, however, a slightly
smaller share than the global average of 8%. And
yet, despite that, according to a Ministry of External
Affairs report, there are 32 million NRIs and OCIs
residing outside India and overseas Indians
comprise the world’s largest overseas diaspora.
Every year 2.5 million Indians migrate overseas,
which is the highest annual number of migrants in
the world. When asked why, most answer by saying
they leave because of the high taxation, 3rd world
infrastructure, Divisive politics being entertained
throughout the country, and that is just to name a
few. These people recognized their skills and how
the country was not suitable for them to live in
when they could live somewhere better, so they
migrated. And that just proves our point..
