Fortune 500 Companies with Immigrant Roots Generated More Money Than the GDP of Most Western Nations - This year’s Fortune 500 list shows one fact that remained unchanged from previous years: the profound role that immigrants and their children have played in establishing many of this country’s most successful and influential companies. 224 companies on the 2023 Fortune 500 list, or 44.8%, were founded by immigrants or the children of immigrants. These 224 American businesses posted a combined revenue of $8.1 trillion and a global workforce of 14.8 million people.

Cornyn Introduces Resolution to Overturn Biden’s Newest Student Loan Scheme - The Supreme Court blocked President Biden’s first illegal student debt cancelation scheme that attempted to transfer hundreds of billions of dollars in student loan debt onto taxpayers. The president then announced three new student loan schemes, including his finalized Income Driven Repayment (IDR) rule that incentivizes taking on debt and shifts the burden to hardworking Americans. Under this rule, 91% of new student debt would be eligible for reduced payments and eventual transfer to taxpayers, and on average, only $0.50 on every $1 borrowed would be repaid. In response, U.S. Senator John Cornyn introduced a joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act with 16 of his Senate Republican colleagues to strike down President Biden’s reckless IDR rule.

Chip Roy Calls Out San Antonio DA for Reckless Bail Policies After SATX Cops Shot on Duty -  Representative Chip Roy (TX-21) called out San Antonio District Attorney Joe Gonzales for supporting soft on crime bail policies after two SAPD police officers were shot and another was injured. The alleged perpetrator is a repeat offender who, prior to the incident, had been released from jail on bond despite having a violent past. The congressman also highlighted San Antonio Police Chief Bill McManus’ frustration with policies that allow dangerous criminals to be released from jail only to go on to threaten the safety of the public and law enforcement.
