Via the “refugee” crisis, numerous able-bodied, military-age young Muslims entered European countries, with many claiming to be “unaccompanied minors” in order to bolster their victim status and have a better chance of entering. European officials, as credulous (or afraid of being called “Islamophobic” as ever), generally accepted their claims about their ages at face value.
“More than 2,000 adult asylum seekers have been caught lying about their age and pretending to be children, figures reveal,” by Milly Vincent, Mailonline, November 22, 2020 (thanks to Henry):
More than 2,000 adult asylum seekers arriving in the UK have lied about their age to be processed less harshly in the system as children.
Of the 3,755 ‘children’ investigated over their age by UK immigration since 2015 more than half were found to have been lying.
Latest Home Office figures reveal that 2,203 cases resulted in the migrant’s age being verified as over 18, which can mean they are processed more harshly by the system.
Asylum seekers who are genuine child victims of war, terror and humanitarian disasters, will have the right to financial help with accommodation up until they are 25.
Those who are over 18 will still receive state funding if their application for asylum is successful, however the majority do not have the right to work in the UK meaning they must live off the small cash support of £37.75 per person, per week – £5.39 a day.
If a refugee does not have a birth certificate or other travel documents, a Home Office screening officer must decide whether or not they are a child based on their ‘physical appearance and demeanour’.
Unless the person appears ‘significantly’ over 18, they should be ‘afforded the benefit of the doubt and treated as children’ until they are age-assessed by local council social workers, official rules state….
But on some occasions it meant adults were treated as children, potentially posing a risk to school pupils, foster families or children in care….
Last month a school pupil who was claimed by parents of other pupils to ‘look 40 years old’ was placed into a school by local authorities in Coventry.
The school pupil who is said to have recently moved to Britain from West Africa was claimed by parents to have a receding hairline….
Home Office statistics show Afghanistan, Eritrea, and Sudan had the most adult asylum seekers claiming to be children in 2020.

What is new about this phenomenon, we don’t need to open the horse’s month to guess its age? It is all written over these untouchables in its refined form of taqiyya. If we don’t want to open our eyes then hoodwinking is allowed. The watchmen of Britain refuse to see and the citizens who trusted like tamed foxes cherish the wild trick unfolding before them as ancestors (the are not dangerous but are in danger)

Yes, and they are not allowed to check if they have their wisdom teeth or if their long bones have fused at the ends.
That would be against their human rights.

Dental scans are used to determine the maturity of wisdom teeth. These can reach full maturity as early as age 15, as late as 25, or in some cases never fully develop at all.
In wrist scans, age is estimated by looking at 20 or so bones initially separated by cartilage, but which progressively move closer to one another until they fuse in the mature wrist. The reference used for this test is a 1959 atlas compiled for doctors to assess healthy bone development, not age. It includes 1000 X-ray images of wrists of white middle-class American children, and the fully mature wrist of a 19-year-old. Yet wrists can be fully mature in children as young as 15, says Cole. A rival atlas compiled a few years later indicates a mean chronological age for wrist maturity of 17.6 years – give or take 1.3 years. So most “children” have “adult” wrists before 18.
The use of age-determination tests is currently at issue both in the UK – where the UK Border Agency is contemplating a trial of the wrist technique – and in Australia, following incidents including a 2010 scandal in which three Indonesian child immigrants were illegally jailed as “adults” after wrist X-ray tests. They were released last year after providing birth certificates, but about 60 immigrants that arrived with them are currently in jail while their claims of age are checked. The Australian Human Rights Commission is holding an inquiry into the practice.
Still, faced with large numbers of immigrants from poorer countries, immigration officials in richer nations have increasingly been turning to X-rays as a “scientific” way to resolve age disputes. A 2010 study of 22 European countries found that 16 conduct bone scans and 10 use dental X-rays. The US has used both tests for almost two decades.

There are 7 to 8 carpal bones in any human above 12 years of age, Morty.

This goes on wherever they are let in. In Lynn, MA, two towns south of me, according to Refugee Resettlement and other watch groups, the public schools have also been infested with 20-something slaves-of-Allah posing as “children”. Fat chance of the “social justice warriors” here in Marxachusetts doing anything about that problem.

They are cowards and opportunists who will not fight for their own countries.

20 years old Afghans look like 30 or more, they look older than their real age, I don’t know who believes them that they are under 18.

I recall this Jihad Watch article from 2018 where a dental hygienist in Sweden was fined $50,000 – and fired – for identifying child refugees who were actually adults:

UK: More than 2,000 adult migrants have been caught lying about their age and pretending to be children
…………
In Sweden, *80%* of “unaccompanied minors” were found to be full adults. Yet those exposing this have in the past been excoriated and sometimes fired.
Chrissie01 says
yes, of course. They will not send children als “anchor-person” across mountains and oceans. They know how easily European authorities can be deceived, even in the face of the obvious. I have translated for “minors” with some hidden white hair. It makes your blood boil, I can tell you. The cost the German taxpayer 5000 € per month, and they get EVERYTHING FOR FREE, and they cannot be deported.
Another scandal…among the many cases of lawlessness.
One should think, in the best interest of the taxpayers, that circumstances are closely checked before spending 60 000 €/year on one individual. But not with Merkel and their bootlickers.
