在伦敦到处都是敦促非法移民“回家”的广告牌的时候，当内政部在推特上发布那些涉嫌违反签证的人的照片时（带有#immigrationofficials的标签），当39，000条短信说“回家”被发送给涉嫌逾期居留者时，托尼·库什纳的英国之战的出版特别及时。广告牌、推文和短信有力地揭示了控制英国边境的冲突在多大程度上既集中在移民的身体上，也集中在公民的心灵和思想上。
At a time when billboards have been driven around London urging illegal immigrants to ‘go home’, when photographs of the arrests of those suspected of breaching their visas were being tweeted by the Home Office (with the hashtag #immigrationoffenders), and when 39,000 texts stating ‘go home’ have been sent to suspected overstayers, the publication of Tony Kushner's The Battle of Britishness is particularly timely. The billboards, tweets and texting powerfully reveal the extent to which the conflict over controlling Britain's borders is as much focused on the hearts and minds of its citizens, as on the bodies of immigrants.
