We’ve had the same thing happen here with Muslim adult males pretending to be “children”.
Fury at ‘soft checks’ on child migrants: Adults pretending to be children say aid workers
ANGER erupted last night over a lack of checks to stop Calais Jungle migrants posing as children to get to Britain.
GETTY
Britain is allowing in children from the Calais Jungle before it is demolished by the French
“Lax” Home Office rules were said to be letting in “hulking young men” instead of those genuinely in need of sanctuary.
Officials yesterday admitted the arrivals are being given asylum without any proper medical checks on their age because they are considered “intrusive”.
As more arrived in Britain yesterday, the Home Office said they are given the “benefit of the doubt” if their age is in question.
Giving migrants the benefit of the doubt was “wrong”, said the MP for Monmouth, adding: “It is absolutely certain some people do lie about their age. We should start from the principle people will do or say anything to get into the UK.”
Britain is allowing in children from the Calais Jungle before it is demolished by the French.
The first 14 arrived on Monday and it is thought as many as 400 could end up being given a new home in the UK.
