That's a mere detail in the overall scheme of things to do with border security, illegal immigration etc. We all know the world is awash with false papers and people prepared to provide them. Maybe going back to basics and seeking evidence of such things as the ablity to speak/write the language concerned and using the evidence thereby derived would be a more effective measure but I dare say that'd impinge upon someone's human rights.
I saw a TV documentary the other day in which an illegal migrant from Pakistan was arrested by Border Control (bit of a misnomer that...) officers claimed to be from Bulgaria but when questioned couldn't speak a word of the language and knew virtually nothing about the country. It's widespread but nobody wants to admit it because to do so would only serve to illustrate the chaos.
