Channel migrants who claim to be children given benefit of the doubt despite over HALF turning out to be adults. A Complete Scam, they come, they Get, and they Hate the Western Culture.

Read on for the story of an Iranian national who claimed to be 17 despite having grey hairs and black stubble

SMALL boat migrants who claim to be children are being given the benefit of the doubt by immigration staff – despite more than half turning out to actually be adults.

A report has found that workers show a “lack of curiosity” about the real age of asylum seekers arriving across the Channel.AI tech is set to be rolled out in 2026 which can accurately assess how old a person really is.

Currently, anyone who says they are under 18 are treated as minors unless they look “significantly” older.

In one case highlighted by Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration David Bolt, an Iranian national who had grey hairs was treated as a child despite assessors thinking he was probably around 22.

In 2024, over half – 56 per cent – of the individuals who claimed on arrival to be children were either later assessed to be adults or admitted that they were 18 or over.
