MOVING FORWARD: H-B1 Visas, Defending the Electoral College, Medicaid Doomsday, and Maria Oropez

This week on Moving Forward, the Young Voices radio show, we hear from contributors Kim-Leigh Tursi, Alex Xenos, Niklas Kleinworth, and Iulia Lupse.

Foreign workers who apply for H-1B visas don't detract from the U.S. economy, they add to it. Kim-Leigh Tursi says the U.S. attracts top foreign talent but tells the unlucky ones to go away.

The Electoral College has been a point of contention since the 2020 election. Alex Xenos explains that it's not a relic of slavery and is an important part of the structure of our Constitution.

States that purged their medicaid roles of individuals who were no longer eligible were warned that they would be harming millions of Americans. Niklas Kleinworth says, the doomsday narrative didn't happen and disenrolling the ineligible was actually a smart move.

The saga of Venezuelan freedom activist Maria Oropeza continues as she is held captive by the Maduro regime. Iulia Lupse has the latest update on Maria's situation.
