A significant percentage of persons claiming refugee status as Syrians are, in fact, not Syrian.  Because Syrians have a much better chance of being accepted, both in the United States and in Germany, aliens from other countries post as Syrian by using false identification.  If you are Syrian, your chance of acceptance is above 90%, while individuals from other countries are accepted at about an 80% rate, said Barbara Strack last month. Strack is the head the Refugee Affairs Division at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service.

“A Pew immigration report posted September 30 said, “Syrians are the biggest single group of asylum applicants this year, comprising about 20 percent of the total (though some refugees from other countries reportedly are claiming to be Syrian, in the hopes of improving their chances of gaining asylum).

German Interior Ministry spokesman Tobias Plate said in October that about 30 percent of asylum seekers coming to his country have forged Syrian passports and IDs. About 527,000 migrants have arrived in Germany.

In Germany, 87 percent of Syrian refugees win asylum.”
