The sanctity of "family life" loses its value to the Tories when they come to deal with black immigrants.
Young children can be separated from their parents by deportation or imprisoned in detention centres with no more than a fleeting crocodile tear from the high priests of motherhood and domestic bliss.
Harassment
But such recent newsworthy cases of vicious and inhuman treatment are only the tip of a monstrous iceberg of harassment and intimidation of the black (especially Asian) communities in this country by the immigration officials and Timothy Raison, Secretary of State at the Home Office, is now complaining at the burden of work placed on him by the 1,000 appeals which MPs make to him every month on behalf London of. immigrants threatened with arrest and deportation.
Raison's answer of course is to rationalise the procedure so that the racist immigration laws can be imposed more efficiently without the nuisance of the existing appeal system-in itself a grotesque mockery of justice even by the standards of the bourgeoisie.
Already the Tories have advanced. plans for a new computer system to monitor all immigration and centralise information on illegal immigrants'.
Terrorise
Along with this scheme to extena the capacity of the police and immigration officials to raid and terrorise black workers, they will be putting proposals in the next session of parliament to restrict even further rights of entry into Britain.
It is not simply their racism which drives the Tories to build on the repressive powers developed by both Tory and Labour governments in the past.
Divide workers
They are consciously seeking to cultivate racism in order to divide the strength of the whole working class and divert workers away from the tasks of socialist revolution posed by the growing crisis of capitalism.
Appeals on legal or compassionate grounds are doomed to defeat: the immigration laws are racist by design.
The only answer to such increasing attacks lies in the building of a campaign in every sector of the labour movement to repeal the racist immigration laws and establish for every worker the right of free entry into this country with full rights of citizenship.
