Renford McIntyre was just a kid when he left Jamaica to join his parents in Britain. He spent the next 50 years there, working various jobs and paying taxes. Like tens of thousands of people from families encouraged to come from British colonies in the Caribbean to help rebuild postwar Britain, he’d always assumed that he was a full-fledged British citizen. Until, that is, the government decided he wasn’t. At the age of 60, Renford was declared an illegal immigrant. He lost his job. He could no longer apply for benefits. He became homeless. The issue has simmered in Britain since @theresamay was home secretary. But Britons of Caribbean descent say the immigration fiasco reveals far more than bureaucratic fumbling, exposing a willful ignorance of Britain’s colonial past and its rich black history. After the British changed the rules, Renford’s descent was quick. When he applied for housing aid, officials refused him, even though he provided school records and reams of tax returns. “They said I’m not a British subject,” he said. “I was confused. They put me through a rough time. Ever since, I rely on alcohol to numb the pain.” @andrew_testa took this photo of Renford. Visit the link in profile to read more.
