The spat between Ben and Jerry's and the British government is heating up after the ice cream maker implied in a tweet that Parliament showed a "lack of humanity" for asylum seekers. "People wouldn’t make dangerous journeys if they had any other choice," Ben and Jerry's said. Successive British governments have for decades struggled with illegal immigration across the channel, both from migrants on boats and those smuggled through ports of entry in trucks and other vehicles. Ben and Jerry's was founded in Burlington, Vt., in 1978 by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield. Ben & Jerry's didn't immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.
