These can both still hurt us of course but only in ways that would affect us inside or outside the EU. The one exception would be if migrants becoming EU citizens but I consider that not too big a problem. Whatever happens the EU will still be there and a vote to leave wouldn't stop those problems and won't stop them harming us.
I question the material consequence a vote would have on my life. At the moment I can't see much about my live that would be improved by leaving the EU. However if there is economic uncertainty in the aftermath of leaving then that could hurt me. I work in a service industry and if that takes a hit then it's also bad for me.
A vote to leave doesn't seem to solve anything but could pose new issues. I would rather have the stability.

There is economic uncertainty whether we stay or leave. The point of leaving would be that we have control over that uncertainty and can plan accordingly.
I disagree that it would make no difference to migration if we stay or leave. It stands to reason that it will make a big difference for the simple reason that we will no longer be obliged to let someone in just because they have an EU passport. Atm we have to have a damn good reason to refuse them entry.
