RT @BarrowCadbury: Powerful post by Dave Stamp @ASIRT1 on one family's struggle as undocumented migrants
http://barrowcadbury.wordpress.com/2013/07/17/supporting-undocumented-migrants-in-a-hostile-environment/

ASIRT, for now, is here to fight for the rights of people denied them in a “hostile environment”. But the decimation of advice and advocacy organisations across the country makes it likely that thousands of families in similar situations will be left in precarious “limbo” situations for many years to come.
