Deadly American dreams: 233% rise in kids left at US borders in 4 years

The desire for green cards is leading Indians to leave their children at American land borders with Mexico and Canada. In the 2023 financial year, US agencies found 730 unaccompanied Indian children on these borders, the highest number since 2020. Data from USCBP shows a 233% increase from 2020 to 2023. Most of these children are between 10 to 14, with instances of children as young as four being found. Parents coordinate with other illegal immigrants to bring the children to the US border, where American agencies take custody of them.
