More than 100 illegal immigrants crossed the short distance from North Africa to arrive in Mallorca this morning in five boats. It was one of the biggest "single day arrivals" in many months. It comes after the Balearic government announced that the teeth of young immigrants, who had been granted asylum in Spain, would be tested to check their age.

Just a thought. If their teeth were removed. Fitted with false teeth. Could their age still be determined.?
When will Jason Moore the Head Hittor please explain what happens to these illegal immigrants? Where are they accomodated ? How many have come to Mallorca over the years.? How many have been accepted under the Asylum Applications ? How many have been returned to their Country of Origin?. A great deal of research is need . How many have criminal records?. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.etc.etc. etc.etc
About time the authorities woke up to how to determine age, perhaps Spain can educate the UK Home Office!
