We don't want 'them' to stay, we want 'us' to stay together...

Exactly.
I was born and raised in Scotland, and have lived in England for thirty-odd years (after a spell in the forces); I have one brother who lives in England, another who lives in Jersey, and a brother and sister who live in Glasgow (and all of my siblings have families, some of whom live inside, and some who live outside, Scotland).
There is no them/us, there is only us - anything else is being used to divide us, to raise emotions (mostly negative) for other's political benefit - the old truism of "it's easier to find a scapegoat for your problems than to solve them" is being used here.
I am not keen on having to go through border controls to visit my parents' graves in St Conval's Cemetery.....
