Madrid: Most Unaccompanied Minors Confirmed to Be Adults

Borders have been besieged by legions of “unaccompanied minors,” for whom doors are opened wide out of empathy. It must be difficult for children to travel by themselves all the way from faraway Third World hellholes to the extravagantly generous welfare states of the West. It helps not to be a child at all, but a full-grown adult.

Remix News reports from Spain:

In 2024, authorities in the Madrid region opened 848 age-determination proceedings for individuals claiming to be unaccompanied foreign minors…

Because colonists do not tend to bring valid ID, wrists are x-rayed to determine bone age.

Of the 378 individuals who underwent the test, only 112 were confirmed as minors, while 266 were determined to be adults — approximately 70 percent.

The colonists have incentive to cheat:

[C]laiming minor status grants significant advantages under Spanish and EU rules, including placement in specialized protection centers with housing, education, healthcare, and legal safeguards.

There is also significantly greater difficulty in deportation; and, in many cases, pathways to family reunification or residence permits unavailable to adults. Many claimants disappear from centers once age verification begins, avoiding confirmation of their true age.

In France, the fraud could be even worse:

French MP Charles de Courson highlighted the financial burden in a parliamentary speech, “Eighty percent of unaccompanied migrants in France’s northeast Marne department who declared themselves thus are not minors, with the cost of caring for these 160 false minors costing €5,000 per month, which equals for €60,000 per year for each one.”

Then there is Paris:

A separate 2019 experiment by the Paris prosecutor’s office examined 154 formally identified “minors” and found 91.6 percent (141) were adults via medical exams.

Similar results have been found in Sweden (84%) and Belgium (74%).

No doubt the fraud has been going on for some time, with authorities allowing it so as to present themselves as the noble defenders of children as they systematically displace Europe’s population.
