The Decline of Legal Immigration - The number of legal immigrant visas issued abroad has partly recovered from a low of 697 in May 2020 to 35,647 in November 2021. That’s 16 percent below the average of 42,390 immigrant visas issued monthly from January 2017 through February 2020, during Trump’s presidency but prior to COVID-19. December 2021 and January 2022 will likely show lower numbers. Lawmakers need to rapidly reverse this situation, recover the lost visas through legislation, and go even further or the U.S. economy will suffer long-run drags on its growth.

Roy on congressional stock trades: ‘You shouldn't be buying and selling equities that you're voting on’ - Representative Chip Roy discusses his TRUST in Congress Act, a bipartisan effort to promote transparency and reduce opportunities for members of Congress to engage in potentially nefarious activity by requiring them to put their assets into a blind trust while in office.

Fifth Circuit Court Of Appeals Says Basically No To Court Ordered "Bail" Reform - In Dawes v. Dallas County, a related case to the O'Donnell and Russell Harris County bail bond cases, the Fifth Circuit laid out the rules for pretrial bail in Texas. The court in essence rejects the position taken by the Democratic Harris County Commissioners Hidalgo, Garcia and Ellis. This should spell the end of the felony bond jailbreak being attempted in the Russell case pending in the United States District Court in Houston.
