M. THATCHER'S GOVERNMENT IMMIGRATION POLICY AS AN EXAMPLE OF NATIONAL PRIORITIES MAINTENANCE
IN VIEW OF EUROPEAN UNION
This article analyses the unique features of M. Thatcher's government approach in the area of national legislation aimed at reduction of colour immigration from former British colonies to the UK in view of the EU general requirements on 'open-door' policy development for the member-states. The article also highlights 'new' measures taken by the Conservatives especially the deportation and the illegal immigration fight directed towards the protection of the British national priorities in spite of the government's obligations in the framework of the EU legislation.
Keywords: colour immigration, the British Commonwealth of Nations, citizenship, Conservatives, Great Britain, M. Thatcher, the European Union, 'open-door' policy, illegal immigration, deportation.
Britain's experience under M. Thatcher's leadership is remarkable due to its being an EU member-state and recognizing an open-door policy, on the one hand, while restricting the rights of those who entered its borders and, on the other hand, Thatcher managed to refuse those, who had a perfect right to immigrate.
V. Bevan, University of Sheffield expert on British law, gives the following definition of 'an open-door policy': «An open-door policy does not mean that aliens are unrestricted in what they can do once admitted or that they are free from the possibility of explosion. Thus, the grant of citizenship may be denied to them or carefully regulated, their economic activities may be circumscribed, e.g. by the payment of extra taxes, the denial of trading licenses, an obligation to train local workers in their business; legal, civic and political rights» [2, p.29–30].
In order to understand particularity of the approach taken by Thatcher's government in terms of colour immigration and the measures taken to prevent former British colonies dark-skinned people from entering the country, we should briefly recall basic legal functions of the European Union, which Britain joined in 1973, dealing with entrance and residence rights, free movement, employment and social benefits.
The European Union (EU) is an autonomous and supra-national establishment having uniform and unitary legal norms. Its two basic law regulations are European Union Law based on the Foundation Treaties and National Law based on the EU Constitution which are independent from one another. The Treaty of Rome (1957) defined filling of gaps principles in the subsidiary legislation of the EU member-states. The European Commission functions as a 'watchdog' handling the EU violations.
And if necessary, it can bring legal actions to the European Court of Justice, powers of which were allocated to it by the national states to solve issues. Interaction between the Court and local legal systems consists in creating new legal rights and responsibilities which, in their turn, penetrate in their legislative field and influence local legal norms being, in such a way, a powerful stimulus of national sovereignty restriction.
It should be noted that despite the Rome Treaty provisions on workers' free movement within the EU member-states (Article 48 and 49), abolishment of any obstacles to free movement of people, goods, services and capital (Article 3) and a ban against any kind of discrimination based on ethnic background (Article 12) [38], rights of individuals weren't granted. These legal regulations just outlined the objectives which should be achieved by certain EU member-states or the time limits within which they should be achieved. The Court of Justice didn't stop the functioning of these obligations, even though it decreed that national states could exclude people going on a premise of public policy, security or health. One way or another, all mentioned above principles could be contested in the national state courts.
The Treaty of Rome, Article 48, entitled the workers who already had a job to enter the country. The second provision of Directive 68/360/EEC gave citizens and their families the right to leave their territory in order to engage into a job search and undertake a job on the territory of other EU member-states [38]. British immigration rules restricted this period up to 6 months. Within this period all the EU citizens had to be given a work permission or they were required to leave the country. Thereafter, British Immigration Act of 1988 annulled a demand to leave the country for the EU nationals.
Freedom of movement of workers couldn't be realized only through common entrance and residence regulations. Equality of applications meant abolition of obstacles to workers mobility to realize their rights on family reunion as well as measures meant to help a family to integrate in a host country. Article 5 of the Treaty stated that applicants, not being the EU citizens, should be given an assistance in a job search. Direct or indirect discrimination on the ground of a national identity was banned by Article 70 of the Treaty. These principles, stated in the British legislation, were not actively followed both by member-states and by Britain itself. Expenses of new immigration, confirmed in all the EU normative acts, and alleged high social benefits for foreign workers required from the UK to change the situation when receiving individual had to provide for their relatives from non-member states.
Development of immigration legislation
Starting from the late 40s and till 60s of XX century mass immigration from Asia and Africa to the United Kingdom led to a social tension in a British society. As a protective counter-measure aiming at reduction of colour population, British authorities had to restrict the right for this category of people to enter the «mother country», which they had as ex empire subjects.
The Commonwealth Immigrants Acts of 1962 and 1968 became first legislative measures aiming at prevention and reduction of colour immigrants` number from the New Commonwealth. Anti-immigration measures reached their climax on passing of The Immigration Act 1971 which came into effort in 1973 under E. Heath's conservative government, that shared the positions of the right-wing representative – Enoch Powell [22, p.68]. Enoch Powell very often used the term 'Britishness' in order to outline more tightly the frontiers of the identity around the British Isles and disengage Britain from any obligations to colour nationals inherited from the empire. Strongly criticizing the immigration policy of the two ruling parties for a failure to stop colour immigration, Powell, in the words of R. Cohen, "developed the theme of 'an alien wedge', which threatened the notion of legality that had hitherto informed the British national culture" [3, p.77]. Powell succeeded in touching the nerve of popular sentiments among representatives of almost all parties and in having a significant impact on strengthening of a negative attitude of natives towards colour immigrants] 31, p.373–374, 377]. As D. Studlar notes, Powell managed to fuel electors' sentiments and direct their votes to the Conservative Party, which served as a key factor of 1970 general elections victory [32, p.44–64].
Discriminating 'partial' principle of Immigration Act of 1971 dividing citizens into two groups on the ground of skin colour, pursued a hidden goal to stop colour immigration to Britain. This Act gave a right of abode in the country for "partials" – the UK and Commonwealth nationals who had been residents for 5 or more years or gained citizenship through naturalization or registration (it related only to a small qualified number of non-white citizens) as well as to those who became citizens through their background. Almost all individuals from that category were descendants of white British settlers. At the same time, this Act denied that right to «non-patrials», most of which were colour citizens, e. g. were descendants of dark-skinned British colonies residents. Despite such kind of classification, the idea of «partiality» helped to avoid apartheid labels and include a small group on a non-racial ground [16].
Having introduced the status of "non-patrials" from the Commonwealth countries, Immigration Act of 1971 levelled their rights to the rights of alien workers from Germany and other European countries. At that time "non-patrials", the Commonwealth citizens and foreigners could enter Britain on equal terms. None of them had a right to become a resident or bring their family. The Act de jure increased the number of people who could enter Britain without control but, in fact, it related only to those who had close links with the UK, i. e. mostly to citizens of European descent, presence of whom didn't raise any fears [26, p.46– 47].
On January 1st 1973 the Great Britain entered the European Economic Community as an equal member. Once it agreed to recognize free movement of labour principles within the EU, the EU nationals – Germans, Spaniards, Greeks and Italians – were granted a right of free entry to settle there. The position of the United Kingdom in respect of the dark-skinned immigrants, intensively becoming its citizens during the 60s – 70s, differed sharply from the position in respect of the white immigrants from the European countries. I. Spencer notes that weakening of immigration restrictions for 200 million people from the countries with which Britain used to be at war, sparked some public outcry [30, p.144].
The dramatic alternation in immigration issues observed during the second half of the 1970s as well as a conflict on the racial grounds between extreme right-wing and extreme left-wing forces in 1977 gave legitimacy to a demand to introduce a strict control over the colour immigration in Margaret Thatcher's election campaign in 1979.
Qualitative difference of 'new' Conservative' position on immigration issues turned on closer associations of the Conservative Party with Powell's ideas. To play with 'Powellism' more openly, taking into account unpredictable outcomes of the politics of the streets and perhaps open racial violence, was unpredictable and even dangerous. Since that moment 'immigration and race' issue became a common topic of new Conservatives' debates.
M. Thatcher in her TV interview in January 1978 admitted that she herself firmly linked to that tradition. Referring to the trends in New Commonwealth and Pakistani immigration, she stated: «I think it means that people are really rather afraid that this country might be rather swamped by people with a different culture … the British character has done so much for democracy, for law and done so much throughout the world that if there is any fear that it might be swamped people are going to react and be rather hostile to those coming in» [21].
That was exactly the message that most part of British electors wanted to hear. If previous Immigrants Acts led to cessation of the British Caribbean population immigration based on 'breadwinner' format, then it went about control strengthening over Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani spouses and dependants who wanted to join their breadwinners in Britain.
Right after the Conservatives came into office, Home Secretary W. Whitelaw proposed on December 4th 1979 to adopt «White Paper on Proposals for Revision of the Immigration Rules», passed later by the House of Commons [15]. New measures restricted the entry of dependants (women and children) of the immigrants from the British Commonwealth of Nations and marriageable young men from the Indian subcontinent. In Whitelaw's opinion those citizens right to entry was the result of British imperialistic legacy [8, cols.253–382; 15]. Labour Party politician Eric Deakins noted in his critical speech that new measures obviously violated Articles 3, 8 and 14 of The European Convention on Human Rights and were of racist, humiliating and inhuman nature since they infringed on rights of Asian women and the elderly. In spite of the fact that the government realized that they could be accused of discrimination and Asian women-immigrants' complains could reach The European Court of Human Rights, new Conservative authorities were firm in their deeds aimed at ultimate stopping of colour immigration. The government officials who realized the immigration policy, were recommended to openly explain the effects of marriage institution abuse by immigrants. At a later time, new Immigration Rules adopted by the British Parliament in 1980 were changed in 1983 in the light of demands of The European Court of Human Rights [9, cols.360–431; 10, cols. 360–375].
Thatcher's government success in the field of immigration consisted in passing The Nationality Act in 1981 which came into force on January 1st 1983 [11; 12]. This Act changed a definition of the British nationality functioning since 1948 in accordance with which all empire nationals could become permanent residents of the UK. Despite the fact that this Act was rather a tool to balance nationality definitions which had to be in line with a developing immigration legislative practice rather than an immigration act, it served for many years as the main act regulating immigration issues. Tough immigration policy followers represented by the ruling Conservative party managed to re-shape British national identity and coordinate it with geographical frontiers of the UK. Thus, the right of former UKC nationals to settlement was dramatically restricted, at the same time, the act enabled the British «partials» from «Old Dominions» (Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa) to immigrate to Britain and register as British citizens. Usage of such terms as 'blood', 'family' and 'relatives' enabled to differentiate between 'insiders' and 'outsiders' and precisely define the category of people who should have a right of abode.
New British nationality definition based on the discriminative grounds enabled the Conservatives to realize their strategic intention to reduce colour immigration stated in Clause 4 of The Conservative Party General Election Manifesto [4].
In 1986, Britain signed the Single European Act (SEA), Article 8a of which stated that the internal market shall comprise «an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured in accordance with the provisions of this Treaty» [37, p.228].
Stephen Wall notes in his memoirs that in Foreign Office workers' opinion this definition didn't guarantee freedom of movement for all EU nationals independent of their looking for a job or not, let alone the Third World citizens living on the EU territory [39, p.70]. Despite the fact that this statement was not legally sustained and merely was of political agreement nature, Britain tried to backstop the security of its internal interests by the following phrasing in the Resolutions-Declaration of the Act: «Nothing in these provisions shall affect the right of Member States to take such measures as they consider necessary for the purpose of controlling immigration from third countries, and to combat terrorism, crime, the traffic in drugs and illicit trading in works of art and antiques» [37, p.1070].
In Geoffrey Howe's opinion (the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary), the outcome of the European summits discussions on this issue which took place on the 2nd-3rd December 1985 could be called satisfactory and the United Kingdom achieved all its goals. In particular he said: «National competence on frontier controls against terrorism, crime, drugs and immigration from outside the Community was not affected. Furthermore, the arrangements (the 'Luxembourg compromise') by which a member state could invoke a very important national interest had not been challenged or changed» [34, p.418]. Nevertheless, the European Commission never shared British position, while the Court of Justice held the common member-states opinion on the commitment to frontier-free travel zone idea, in other words, absence of passport control for EU nationals or Third World nationals who met the requirements for entering the EU member-states at their first visit. This concept was not accepted by Margaret Thatcher. A passport check by immigration service officers was an important impediment for those who tried to violate the law and had to be detained. The UK Home Office understood the real meaning of this position aiming at control maintaining both over international criminals and traffic in drugs and illegal immigration.
The Immigration Act passed on May 10th 1988 became another conservative government legislation initiative [18]. This Act annulled the right of New Commonwealth immigrants, settled in Britain before 1973, to bring their families and obliged them to provide evidences of having decent housing facilities and financial ability to support their dependants. In accordance with the new provisions, illegal entry and abode or legal entry but postliminary failure to comply with abode requirements could be legally punished. It only related to colour New Commonwealth citizens while EU citizens were no longer required to leave the country.
