Wow. I think it's safe to say that the "kids in cages" talking point by any reasonable standard is now dead.

Number of unaccompanied minors in CBP custody is now 954, down from 5,727. The average amount of time they spend there is 28 hours, down from 133. Biden admin fixed this.

Well this took off. As it should. The resolution should be talked about as loudly as the original problem.

But anyways, follow our account for detailed tracking of President Biden's accomplishments, as well as fact based (and snark based) rebuttals to disinformation.

The number has now dropped to 790 unaccompanied minors in CBP custody, down from 954 yesterday.

The American Rescue Plan blog is here. I believe it's one of the most detailed rundowns out there of everything that the bill does. Please RT and share widely. I'll be threading all the major points below this. whatbidenhasdone.wordpress.com/2021/03/14/eve…

1. Stimulus checks: $1400 for each adult, child, or adult dependent. 85% of households will get one.
2. Child tax credit: Raises for 2021 from $2000 to $3600 (kids 0-5) or $3000 (6-17) the child tax credit (same income levels as checks) and pays half in periodic allowances.

3. Expands by almost 4x the tax credit for child and dependent care. Credit is now $4000 per child ($8000 total) at 50% of eligible childcare expenses, and significantly more qualify for it.
4. 1 year EITC bump for singles from max of $530 to $1502. 19-24 and 65+ now qualify.

Okay, quick thread on immigration: Immigration is a way messier subject than anyone on this website wants to actually acknowledge, because the system is so broken in so many places, that when you improve it in one place, it often requires you increasing something in another area

For example, Trump was refusing to let any asylum seekers into the US, instead forcing them to stay in Mexico in squalid camps where they were under constant threat of rape and murder. President Biden ended that. We are now processing these immigrants into the US.

But because of that, we have more immigrants coming in, which requires more processing (especially with COVID restriction). So the administration has had to open up temporary shelters, including for children to handle the processing. These shelters are far from ideal
