Immigration
President Biden has increased the rate at which immigrants become citizens, processing applications faster since 2014. Since Joe Biden became president, more than 3.3 million immigrants have become citizens, a number more significant than the population of Iowa. Biden has offered more waivers for low-income applicants to pay for the processing fee, shortened the application pages, and shortened the wait time to just a little less than five months. It wasn’t lost on Obama or Biden that immigrants vote more than two-to-one for Democrats. (The New York Times)

Economy
Retail sales had an unexpected surge, rising by a solid 1% from the prior month, up from June’s downwardly revised 0.2 percent decline. That trounced economists’ expectations of a 0.3 percent gain. Goldman Sachs has reduced the probability of a recession from 25 percent to 20 percent. (Bloomberg News)
Texas A&M University, as part of the Bush School, is offering a certificate in social justice leadership for the fall 2024 semester. The school insists this is not in defiance of Gov. Abbott’s ban on DEI because the restrictions do not apply to academic instruction, student organizations, student admissions, guest speakers, or scholarly research. (Texas Scorecard)
