But if you were born here you are not going to run the same risk of being refund housing, medical treatment, or work, let alone being deported for no reason whatsoever, and having no avenue of defence. The so called "Windrush Generation" run all these risks because of the way the immigration rules have changed. Having arrived many years ago when they were Citizens of the British Colonies they had the right to live here permanently without any documentation. The rules changed, Commonwealth and colonial citizens lost the right to come and reside here, and subsequent arrivals needed documentation and proof of rights of residence. Those that were here already do not need documents to prove they have the right to be here, but because they were here already and did not have documents they cannot prove when they arrived, and cannot prove that they have the right to be here.
