    2000 + asylum seekers lied about their age

    Most shocking is how bearded wrinkly alleged 15 year olds were placed with families and bonafide kids and sent to school.

    More than 2,000 asylum seekers have lied about being children | Metro News

    More than 2,000 adult asylum seekers lied and said they were children so they could be treated less harshly by the UK’s immigration system. New figures show that more than half – 2,135 – of the 3,929 asylum seekers who claimed they were under 18 since 2015 were found to be lying. The most people who have been dishonest about their age in 2020 came from Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iran and Iraq, Home Office statistics show. People lied about being minors because the UK treats them more kindly, giving child refugees financial help with a place to stay until they are 25-years-old.

    Use dishonesty as a reason to deport them back, that should cut down on liars.

      Ask anyone whose worked with refugees for the last few decades and they will tell you that they had suspicions about some people but could do SFA.

          A bit of fibbing isn't really going to get them a ticket home!

            All a bit misleading, the first one is not a deportation but a voluntary repatriation.
            I read the Swedish version, it's not about human rights but acquired residency rights in Sweden.
            Deportation blocked by passengers, very stupid passengers on a Turkish Airline but also a badly organised deportation. Why not use a British Airline.

            BTW: None of them to do with human rights or the EU

              Hardly misleading the suggestion was that we should deport asylum seekers that had crossed safe continents then lied about their ages when they claimed asylum here. I pointed out that we were unable to deport illegal immigrants that were gang rapists and preyed on the disabled, we were hardly going to do anything about a few liars. You sort of proved the point by rushing to their defence.

              Before anyone gets confused and accuses me of racism if deportation of British rapists to Australia or the Americas (as they were in the 17-18th century) was still an option I would be tempted to support that. Oh sorry we hung rapists then.

                The fact is, once you land on these shores, quite literally, you will remain here indefinitely. First few years in some asylum center and then given permission to work and eventually a British passport. Met several Afghan asylum seekers now working as taxi drivers for Uber.

                  Possible solution - after they reach "18" years old require 5 years of active duty service in British Foreign Legion with deployments to Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iran and Iraq...

                    They'd probably "Do an AtW"*.


                    *"Do an AtW" - to run away to another country that doesn't enforce military service.
