Petition Make discrimination of refugees and asylum seekers a hate crime.

Due to the current events with the Syrian refugees, Britain has been split into two groups, people who welcome the refugees and people who don't.
The refugees have done nothing wrong but seek a basic human right. So I believe that any discrimination should be classed as a hate crime.
