The Danish government has revealed that of the suspected 800 “underage” asylum seekers they believed to be lying about their age, 600 of them were adults according to medical tests.
The Danish Immigration Service (Udlændingestyrelsen – DIS) has suspected hundreds of “underage” migrants over the past year have been lying about their age in order to get preferential treatment and other benefits from the Danish government. The DIS was granted the ability to use medical tests to assert the real age of those suspected of lying and have said that at least 600, or three quarters of the migrants, were found to be adults, Jyllands-Posten reports.
Doctors at the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Copenhagen were tasked by the DIS to find out the true age of those suspected of being adults, using X-rays of finger bones and dental imprints. The 800 tested by the institute is double that of last year, with authorities projecting that the number could increase to over 1,000 by the end of this year.
Integration Minister Inger Støjberg defended the results saying that the Danish asylum system is working properly when it is able to out migrants trying to get special benefits by lying about their age. “The Danish Immigration Service makes a major effort to expose those who are cheating and is also working on how it can happen even faster,” she said.
Anti-mass migration Danish People’s Party’s immigration spokesman Martin Henriksen said, “they have scammed their way into a residence and benefits that they are not entitled to.” He stated there should be mandatory testing of all migrants who claim to be underage unless they are obviously a small child. Eva Singer of the Danish Refugee Council rejected the idea that many migrants were trying to cheat the system saying that the migrants probably didn’t know how old they actually were because she said their home countries don’t keep track of their age in the same way Denmark does.
Denmark has some of the toughest asylum laws in the European Union including confiscating the valuables of migrants if they are worth more than €1,340. The law was put into practice this year and the government claims to have already collected tens of thousands of euros to offset the costs of housing and taking care of the migrants.
Neighbouring Sweden has also had a problem with migrants claiming to be underage, especially those who have committed crimes. One Somali migrant, who claimed to be underage, was responsible for the murder of an asylum home worker. He was going to be tried as a minor until the government discovered he was over the age of 18.
Agreed. It is fraud.
Sorry to say, I’d follow ‘News Clucking Chicken’ as a ‘trusted news source’ (your phrase) before I would trust CNN, CBS, NYT, MSNBC and all the rest of that lot. Every other word they print is a twist, a lie, an exaggeration, and nothing but a highly overpaid columnist’s biased leftist opinion.
So sad, but true.
Just because one source gives you crap sandwiches is no reason to embrace the roadkill from a different source.
My God have mercy on your soul.
what, exactly, is the median age of these alleged adolescents ?
All liars should be deported (or imprisoned). No exceptions.
It did happen with the thousands of unaccompanied minors Obama let in. The people who were processing these illegals were told not to question their age.
Exactly who are the ‘trusted news sources?’ ... perhaps they are bums on the bench writing the truth rather than a libelous NYT story.
Many foreign news organizations are not allowed to print the truth. Our news organizations ARE allowed free press, but they refuse to report non-PC news. Their agenda supersedes and overrides the truth.
Unless bloggers and bystanders catch it live, it never happened. Case in point: Hillary collapsing on 9/11 and then being tossed headfirst into her limo-ambulance. If you had relied on your trusted news sources- it never happened. She’s just fine!
A passer-by happens to scoop the moment. Where were Hillary’s love-struck team of trusted news reporters? Your ‘trusteds’ were busy hiding truth..I bet they have filmed similar collapsing episodes and failed to report the events. They are untrustworthy and often will report news ONLY after they have been forced.
Let’s start ASAP Jan 21!
Rev up the xray machines!
Divorced DREAMers who shave twice a day and MS-13 felon gangsters run out of El Salvador.
But dreaming is for the children, donchaknow?
Even children are being taught how to lie in order to get political asylum.
Obama’s `rat treachery aided by GOP-e cuckservatives.
I’d be very interested to see you point out where I indicated which sources are “trusted”.
Surely I must have done, since you use the term in three out of four paragraphs.
Thanks in advance.
You implied whom was not to be trusted with this comment - “the need to trust homeless bums on library computers.” That comment insinuated the source was not necessarily credible.
Since the traditional news sources are increasingly untrustworthy and are guilty of suppressing news, it makes very little difference.

No, I asked for you to show me which source I said is trusted.
You have made an assumption, I’d like you to show me what it is based upon.
In post #12, your comment mocked the integrity of the source. You made an assumption based on the silly name. That’s fine, but I did claim the author was ‘NOT Brian Williams.’
If you are to assume this source is not necessarily trustworthy, then you must have some basis of comparison to other news sources which are supposedly deemed trustworthy.
You assumed, ... then I assumed. It works both ways.
How about the BBC- from today’s headline?
“The BBC conceded it was false to describe the Church as being ‘silent’ in the face of Nazism. The BBCs internal watchdog has found that a programme wrongly accused the Catholic Church of silence about the Holocaust.”
How about it?
In post #12, your comment mocked the integrity of the source.
Indeed. I would gladly mock it again.
I recall to your attention post #23:
Just because one source gives you crap sandwiches is no reason to embrace the roadkill from a different source.
The fact that the MSM is distrusted does NOT mean that anything which isn't the MSM is automatically trustworthy.
Especially News Chickens.
