Record Number of Illegal Migrants Caught Pretending to Be Children This Year

The number of adult migrants claiming to be child asylum seekers has climbed to a record high in Britain this year, with more than 1,300 fraudulent cases discovered by authorities.
At least 1,317 migrants have falsely claimed to be minors from the start of the year to the end of June, the highest figure on record and more than all cases reported in 2017, 2018, and 2019 combined, according to a report from The Sun.
The top-selling British paper said that there were 283 migrant adults from Afghanistan, 282 from Sudan, 236 from Vietnam, and 140 from Eritrea who claimed be child asylum seekers this year.
The increasing practice is often used by illegal migrants to better their chances of being granted the right to stay in the UK, as children are often given special dispensation during asylum claim decisions.
