400 years ago William Shakespeare wrote a play wherein a Lawyer, Thomas More, tried to reach the hearts and minds of the mob rioting against immigrants. Nobody embody the part like Ian McKellen!
Shakespeare'words could not be more relevant!

There are laws in place of who can be picked to safe guard the qualifications of these people.
