Could anybody out there who's familiar with UK politics and history explain the "Windrush" thing to me, including the current controversy, in 500 characters or less? Thank you, Wikipedia is just looking like a slog and I can't find the actual thread of the current news items in the flood of info.

@zebratron2084 What I've gathered from the BBC is that the UK had a labor shortage circa 1970 and encouraged immigration from the remaining colonies such as Jamaica. The parents who showed up had passports, but their kids mostly didn't -- but they were British citizens, so it didn't matter. Well, now they have no proof of anything and are easy targets for the demographic which voted for Brexit.
