Petition Action

Scientifically age screen "Children" from the Calais and other refugee camps.

Petition Details

The pictures of recently arrived "Children" show young adult men who appear to be anything but "children".

No more should be admitted until full age screening is in place to determine their eligibility.

Additional Information

Reliable scientific methods of age screening are readily available, including Dental Age Analysis and DNA biomarker analysis, We cannot base someone's eligibility for entry on something as broad and indeterminate as "demeanour and appearance".

Every one of those who wrongfully gains entry is taking up finite resources, preventing those who are truly vulnerable from benefiting.
