(B)ordering Britain argues that Britain is the spoils of empire,
its immigration law is colonial violence and irregular immigration
is anti-colonial resistance. In announcing itself as postcolonial
through immigration and nationality laws passed in the 60s, 70s and
80s, Britain cut itself off symbolically and physically from its
colonies and the Commonwealth, taking with it what it had
plundered. This imperial vanishing act cast Britain's colonial
history into the shadows. The British Empire, about which Britons
know little, can be remembered fondly as a moment of past glory, as
a gift once given to the world. Meanwhile immigration laws are
justified on the basis that they keep the undeserving hordes out.
In fact, immigration laws are acts of colonial seizure and
violence. They obstruct the vast majority of racialised people from
accessing colonial wealth amassed in the course of colonial
conquest. Regardless of what the law, media and political discourse
dictate, people with personal, ancestral or geographical links to
colonialism, or those existing under the weight of its legacy of
race and racism, have every right to come to Britain and take back
what is theirs. -- .
