The Fake Application Story

There's a brief piece written up in the Danish news (Jyllands-Posten) that appeared in the last couple of days, that concerns migration and immigration.

So there's this category of immigrant that Denmark would typically allow into the country....under the note of religious or minority prosecution.  You'd fill out the immigration or asylum forms....select the right block....then mention your minority or ethnic or religious status.  Then the Danish guy would ask some questions in the process.

So this large 'chunk' of people.....came up into Denmark from Kuwait.

The authorities didn't really have total belief in the applications, so they picked up about 700 of these applications and did more analysis.  In the end....they agreed that sixty-six were actual ethnic minorities from Kuwait.  The rest?  No....they were Iraqis. 

Fake applicants?  Yes.

In fact, what the news people say is that roughly half of the fake folks....were from one clan.

What the Danes are stumbling onto is the vast amount of fraud that is being conducted in this asylum business now.  Folks are hyped up to leave Syria, Iraq, or what ever country they reside in, and are willing to openly lie about it to get the better status.

The general public?  It's not just in Denmark anymore.....you can find people asking questions and not really believing that the  governments can do an adequate job in handling this activity.  I won't say it's anywhere near fifty-percent or more....but it's enough that journalists are realizing the impact on politics. 

As for the crowd with the fraudulent applications?  No one says much.  They might allow them a second chance to apply....under their real names, real reasons, etc.  They might even approve them with the second chance.  But this all puts more pressure on the approval process.
