Border Farce: Over 50 Migrants over 30 Years Old Registered as ‘Children’:

Over the past decade the British government has registered over 50 illegal migrants over the age of 30 as children, according to a Freedom of Information request.

In an embarrassing revelation, Home Office figures show that border officials were either so inept or indifferent as to register 52 grown adults over the age of 30 years old as children over the last decade.

The Freedom of Information request from the Daily Telegraph also revealed that 2021 saw the highest number of alleged asylum seekers claiming to be children, a status which increases the odds of the government granting an asylum request. According to the figures, 1,500 people identified as adult migrants claimed that they were children last year, compared to 364 in the year prior.

Many more may have slipped through the system unrecorded due to inadequate vetting.

Between 2012 and 2020, an average of 355 illegals claimed to be minors but were exposed as adults by age tests per year.

The massive upswing in 2021 correlates with the record number of illegal migrants crossing the English Channel — 28,526 arrived last year, compared to 8,466 in 2020. --->READ MORE HERE

More than 50 migrants aged over 30 were registered as children in the last decade after lying about their age upon arriving in Britain:

More than 50 migrants over 30 were registered as children in the last decade after lying about their age upon arriving in Britain, according to Home Office figures.

Data obtained through Freedom of Information (FOI) requests reveals that 52 in total managed to claim that they were children in initial checks, before being found to be 30 or older.

Figures also showed that 1,500 adult migrants claimed to be children in 2021.

This is the highest number since records began in 2006 and more than four times the 364 from 2020.

In an eight-year period, from 2012-2020, 355 migrants a year on average claimed to be children and they were found to be adults after more checks.

And in 2021, almost two thirds of resolved age disputes showed that the claimant was an adult.

Officials unsure of ages of a young migrant have previously had to treat them as children.

This was unless their physical appearance or demeanour suggested they were 25 or over. --->READ MORE HERE
