How will the UK solve the Windrush controversy?
17 Apr 2018 ( News Bureau )They are called the "Windrush generation". That is a refefence to the ship, the Empire Windrush, that carried the first wave of immigrants from the West Indies to Britain in 1948.
Many arrvied as children on their parents' passports - and have lived in the UK for over 70 years, paying taxes and insurance, but never formally becoming British Citizens.
Now, as the government tightens its immigration rules, those without the proper documents are being denied services and could even face deportation.
Some are calling it 'cruel and inhumane' treatment.
The government has apologised and it's promsing an investigation. But will that be enough?
