摘要：20世纪50、60年代，随着民族解放运动兴起，大批英国殖民地相继独立，英联邦移民蜂拥进入英国，给英国社会带来了问题。英国政府迫于压力，颁布《1962年英联邦移民法》来限制移民，但法案并未达到预期效果。英国国内的种族情绪因为有色移民数量增多造成了恐慌而持续高涨，又因英国媒体的负面报道和种族主义者的宣传更为激化。与此同时英国经济状况出现恶化，移民问题越来越严重，所以英国呈现一片反移民局面。于是英国政府颁布了《1968年英联邦移民法》。

Abstract: During the period of the 1950s and the 1960s, with the rise of the national liberation movement, and the independence of the British overseas colonies in succession, a large number of Commonwealth immigrants flocked to Britain and thus caused a series of problems. Under this pressure, the British government enacted The Commonwealth Immigrants Act of 1962 to limit immigration, but the Act did not achieve the expected effect. The increase of the number of colored immigrants caused  a great panic, which led to the continual rising of racial sentiments in Britain. Negative reports by local media and racists’ propaganda also had exacerbated racial sentiments. Meanwhile, the deterioration of British economic condition made immigration problems get worse, which resulted in the situation where the domestic public presented an anti-immigrant attitude. Therefore, the British government enacted The Commonwealth Immigrants Act of 1968.
