Children are classified as under the age of 18. So a 17 year old would technically be a child.

Not exactly unusual when refugees are massed together. Market economics in action.

Forged passports aren't needed. In fact they're better off with no passport or ID at all if they make it to UK.

And still the question which no politician wants to answer: If they want asylum and are fleeing oppression or persecution, then what is wrong with all of the several EU countries (including France) they had to go through in order to get to the UK?

There is a big difference between people genuinely fleeing for their lives and economic migrants. I know which type are in Calais. Most people know which type they are and what they are, but it's not politically correct to state that.

The UK government will allow these "unaccompanied children" for political reasons and nothing more, not out of kindness and not because they truly believe they are who they say they are. They may well be criminals, but that's someone else's problem.

Never thought I'd agree with fragony, but it's a farce and has nothing whatsoever to do with the welfare of migrants. It will simply cause even more people - in particular unaccompanied minors - to make more perilous journeys. Win, win for the people smugglers.

The invisible hand of the migration market always knows best.

To question this market dynamic for the social health of one's own nation is called National Socialism.

Everybody was in favor (as shown by the market success of the model and the lack of complaints) of capitalist globalization when it just meant Indian children and Chinese women would be enslaved to produce cheaper pullovers, what has changed?

Everyone loves it when they are winning. The West were for Capitalism and the rest aren't really important or otherwise aspire to it.

Same with immigration. It's fine on our - or just kept as a nice theoretical "Champagne Leftist" view where of course we should help people - and we do by liking an occasional facebook page, giving Oxfam vouchers for christmas presents and sending off a few blankets. Having four immigrants living in one's summer house? Oh, of course it is a good idea... just not... now.
