In the UK, officials often tell homeless immigrants their children can have housing if the parents give them up.

When the same officials are confronted about this, they deny it, but it's clear they are lying.

Many of these immigrants can get permission to live in the UK, after a lengthy process during which they have to starve on the street.

This is the standard Tory pattern of kicking weak people while they are down: rather than make a careful decision, seize any excuse to be harsh, and inflict cruel punishment.
