mar 1, 1968 - Commonwealth Immigrants Act of 1968

Description:

The Passing of this Act places more restrictions on the migration of members of the Commonwealth to the UK. It can be contextualized by Enoch Powell's " Rivers of Blood" Speech which illustrated a national sentiment of anti-immigrant xenophobia and the fear of displacement.
