^ I think the point with Patel is to ask her - why is a system that wouldn't have let your parents in better than one that would? I agree she has the right to support any system she likes but it's fair enough to ask about specifics too; in this case her very own experience. It's not about gratitude, it's why she thinks her parent's successful immigration here should no longer be replicated. And the same question, why is this system better, should be asked of all the Tories. It's just more piquant when they are the child of immigrants.
