I think that article is overblown.
For a start if we took it at face value then there leaving the EU won't make a difference. We already have control of the border since we're not part of the Schengen agreement. The danger would remain that these people could move though Europe and sit in Calais waiting for a chance to sneak across but that would be true irrespective of if we were in the EU or not. In fact If we did leave the EU then we would also have no ability to stop Turkey joining!
So it's hard to see what difference voting to leave will make in respect to our security there. The other question is how likely is it that Turkey will join? Every member must agree for the succession of a new state. That includes France and, currently,
Britain.
If you're that worried about EU policy in this respect then the best option is to vote to remain so we can stop Turkey joining in the first place. His argument makes no sense.
