In the last 2 years, 1,656 unaccompanied Indian children, some as young as six were found by authorities at the US-Mexico border.
The kids are abandoned as part of an Indian immigration strategy.
If found by border authorities, the children are taken into the US on humanitarian grounds, then the parents and other family members are granted asylum on the basis that their children are already in the country.

U.S. banks sitting on $482B in unrealized losses, silent crisis threatens systemic collapse. Shadow Banks rushing to bail out Commercial Banks via a fresh liquidity pool?
The Silent Banking Crisis: Understanding the $482 Billion Time Bomb
U.S. banks are currently sitting on $482 billion in unrealized losses on their investment securities primarily long-dated Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities bought during the 0% interest rate era. This figure has jumped 33% in just the last quarter, making it the worst paper loss environment banks have faced in modern history even worse than during the 2008 financial crisis.
On the surface, these losses are “unrealized,” meaning banks don’t have to formally recognize them on their balance sheets unless they are forced to sell.
The problem is: what can stay “unrealized” for years can suddenly flip into catastrophic reality under certain conditions.
Here’s how these “paper losses” can become realized losses that ignite systemic problems:
How Unrealized Losses Can Become Realized
1. Deposit Flight (Funding Pressure)
•If depositors move money out of banks (into money markets, Treasury funds, crypto, or physical cash), banks lose their cheapest source of funding.
•To meet withdrawals, banks may be forced to sell assets even those classified as “Held-to-Maturity” at market prices far below book value, locking in massive losses.
2. Liquidity Crises
•If interbank lending freezes, or repo markets demand higher collateral haircuts, banks could be forced to pledge or liquidate assets under stress.
•Fire sales of long-dated bonds would crystallize the hidden losses instantly, slashing bank equity and trust.
3. Regulatory Pressure
•Regulators could tighten capital adequacy rules (especially if the political optics of another “hidden bailout” grow toxic), forcing banks to raise cash by selling impaired securities.
4. Mergers, Acquisitions, or Liquidations
•If a weak bank is acquired or collapses, its securities must be marked to market during the transaction or liquidation process realizing losses on the spot.
5. Rising Loan Defaults
•If commercial real estate or consumer loan defaults spike, banks need liquidity to cover losses and reserves again forcing them to sell investment securities at fire-sale prices.
