Episode 01: Should the U.S. Restrict Legal Immigration Pathways?

In this debut episode of The Political Bridge, Nico and Jordan debate one of America's most contentious policy questions: Should the U.S. restrict legal immigration pathways? Nico argues that a merit-based immigration system protects American workers' wages, upholds national sovereignty, and ensures a net-positive fiscal impact. Jordan counters that legal immigration drives economic growth, fills critical labor gaps, fuels innovation, and addresses the long-term demographic challenge of an aging population. Both debaters draw on CBO data, the National Academies report, and real-world policy examples to make their case. Cast your vote: who made the stronger argument?
