Nov 2019

There is something I'm confused about here. There were 833,000 new citizens naturalized in fiscal year 2019 — an 11-year high ( according to Houston Chronicle) and 766,000 in 2018. What is the 200,000 "new immigrant" number referred to in above story? Natiralyzations are steady or even up a bit but applications and backlogs are soaring.
