Grenfell, the Windrush Scandal, and recent political comments about an amnesty for undocumented migrants has brought to public attention the plight of those living in Britain without adequate legal documentation. Most of these undocumented migrants have been left without the ability to work, study, rent, marry, receive healthcare or open a bank account – all the while living in fear of immigration raids, detention and deportation.
