English: Thank you, Presiding Officer. I just wanted to add my support for Simon Thomas's call for a statement on the disgraceful scandal of the treatment of the Windrush generation, and I just wanted to add some additional points. It is a reminder of the endemic racism in our society. I don't recall reading of any people from New Zealand or Australia being caught up in the way the immigration rules have been changed, and we have to remind ourselves that the people who have been treated so disgracefully are people who were unable to regularise, formalise, their right to remain, because they didn't have the money to apply for a passport, never mind the money to go back and visit family in the place they originally were born. There's a particular issue that I'm very concerned about, which is the right to family life. Some people decided to go back to the Caribbean or elsewhere when they retired, and they now find themselves unable to visit their children and grandchildren because of the draconian immigration laws. One of my constituents, who died recently, was unable - they were unable to organise his funeral for a whole month after his death, simply because of the difficulties of people coming from Trinidad. And this applies even more acutely when we are dealing with the Asian community who, in general, wish to bury their loved one within 48 hours. It's just ridiculous that people cannot attend the funerals of their close relatives because of the barriers that are put upon them by the immigration service. So, I wondered if you are able, in this statement, to include some indication of the numbers involved who live in Wales, and what the UK Government might now be prepared to do in the light of the exposure that this scandal has raised on this issue, and hopefully we can have a more humane immigration policy.
Welsh: Diolch i chi, Llywydd. Rwy'n dymuno ychwanegu fy nghefnogaeth i alwad Simon Thomas am ddatganiad ar y sgandal gwarthus o driniaeth y genhedlaeth Windrush, ac roeddwn i'n dymuno gwneud rhai pwyntiau ychwanegol. Mae'n ein hatgoffa o'r hiliaeth endemig yn ein cymdeithas. Nid wyf yn cofio darllen am unrhyw bobl o Awstralia neu Seland Newydd yn cael eu dal oherwydd y modd y newidiwyd y rheolau mewnfudo, ac mae'n rhaid inni atgoffa ein hunain bod y bobl sydd wedi cael eu trin mor warthus yn bobl nad oedden nhw'n gallu rheoleiddio na ffurfioli eu hawl i aros, gan nad oedd ganddyn nhw'r arian i wneud cais am basbort, heb sôn am arian i fynd yn ôl ac ymweld â theulu yn y lle y cawsant eu geni'n wreiddiol. Mae un mater penodol yn fy mhoeni'n fawr, a hwnnw yw'r hawl i fywyd teuluol. Penderfynodd rhai pobl fynd yn ôl i'r Caribî neu i fannau eraill wrth iddyn nhw ymddeol, ac erbyn hyn maen nhw'n canfod nad ydyn nhw'n gallu ymweld â'u plant a'u hwyrion oherwydd deddfau mewnfudo llym. Yn achos un o'm hetholwyr, a fu farw yn ddiweddar - nid oedden nhw'n gallu trefnu ei angladd am fis cyfan ar ôl ei farwolaeth, oherwydd yr anawsterau i bobl a oedd yn dod o Trinidad. Ac mae hyn hyd yn oed yn fwy perthnasol pan fyddwn ni'n sôn am y gymuned Asiaidd sydd, yn gyffredinol, yn dymuno claddu eu hanwyliaid o fewn 48 awr. Mae'n chwerthinllyd na all pobl fynd i angladd eu perthnasau agos oherwydd y rhwystrau a roddir arnynt gan y gwasanaeth mewnfudo. Felly, tybed a allwch chi, yn y datganiad hwn, gynnwys rhyw syniad o nifer y rhai yr effeithir arnyn nhw sy'n byw yng Nghymru, a beth allai Llywodraeth y DU fod yn barod i'w wneud bellach yng ngoleuni'r datguddiad a godwyd gan y sgandal hwn, a gobeithio y gallwn ni gael polisi mewnfudo sy'n fwy trugarog.
