In the fiscal year 2005 alone, US Customs and Border Protection apprehended 84,000 individuals entering the US with fraudulent documentation. Despite the scale of the problem, there are no standardized international procedures for document verification. Fraud in the immigration process is a rising trend in global migration, and the extent of the challenge posed by fake documentation in policing this migration, and the merits of establishing international procedures for controlling migration and verifying documents is an ongoing process.
Labour mobility is a global and increasingly widespread trend. The volume of international migration is likely to remain high over the next few decades. The issue is politically sensitive, and the debate over the pros and cons of immigration in host countries is likely to intensify. Although incentives to let in migrants from the developing world are rising, there is little international consensus on how migration should be managed.
The demand for fake documents is growing. The need for particular skills is prompting governments to implement more “objective” systems to grade potential immigrants. Points based or similar systems—whereby immigrants are prioritized according to education and skill levels, amongst other factors—seem likely to become more popular. In turn, however, this will increase the incentive to forge documents supporting educational or skill-level claims. The proliferation of fake academic or related work experience documentation is a particular problem.
Increasing migrant numbers have put a great strain on immigration screening systems, which must cope with an overwhelming number of applicants and variety of documentation. The monotony of the work and the absence of international systems to screen supporting documentation mean some applications based on fraudulent claims will slip through the net. Immigration controls are being deepened. The response of many host countries to these challenges has been to “deepen” their systems and to try to institute more checks in a migrant's country of origin. But a large number of visa applications will be based on fraudulent documentation. Screening this is a hugely time- and labour-intensive process and one that governments seem ill-equipped to handle at the moment.
