Elderly South Asian woman deported after decades living and paying her taxes in the US.
Her treatment during her detention was disgusting.
I've never understood why we catch a cold when the US sneezes. But with the way Farage is getting hold with his hateful rhetoric it's looking like we're headed in that direction.
