Surge Of Bangladeshi Migrants With Bogus Passports Causing US To Rely On Dental Exams

An influx of Bangladeshi and other illegal migrants carrying fake identification is forcing U.S. officials to rely on dental examinations to determine their ages.
Border Patrol apprehension of Bangladeshi migrants hit 1,203 in fiscal year 2018, a rise of 109% from the previous year, according to data compiled by the Los Angeles Times. Between fiscal year 2017 and 2018, the number of Bangladeshi minors in the custody of Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) climbed 221%.
As the number of Bangladeshi migrants reaching the U.S. border has increased, so has the number of documented fraud cases.
Over 150 Bangladeshis identifying as minors and determined to be adults were transferred into Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody between October and March 8. A number of Bangladeshis in ICE custody and claiming to be minors were found to have passports and birth certificates with contradictory information, including their birth dates.

Immigration fraud is becoming more pervasive at the U.S.-Mexico border, largely fueled by immigrants’ knowledge that preferential treatment is given to minors and family units. During a six-month time period, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) determined around 2,700 migrants to be lying about their familial status. Other documented cases of child smuggling rings and migrant adults “renting” children has shocked U.S. law enforcement.

Migration is a very serious matter. We studied it in college and even had to write an essay on such topic. I knew I won't be able to finish it on time, because I had a lot of other assignments lined up. That's why I decided to buy assignment from highly qualified team of my favorite writing service. My order was done with proper quality and for good price.
