Rejected petition Demand all children migrants are verified by age before entering the country.

The Home office is hiding behind ethics to allow migrants posing as refugees to pretend as children.

The discussion that needs to be held is that if it is unethical to test these people for age verification, it is unethical for us the British tax payer to take these people in at our expenses.

More details

The ethics of the situation is thus, if age cannot be proved and it is clear they have destroyed documents as to circumvent the asylum application process across Europe then these people are not the refugees that would glad to be in the first safe country they come to, not to travel across Europe to get to Calais so they can get to the UK for benefits.

All immigration must be held to the same standard and not because a quota system is enforced.
