Correct, it will not end it overnight
but it will take away the legal right of entry from EU member states. Look how many have come from Poland, Romania etc.
Economic refugees from outside the EU and refugees are an entirely different issue.
Britain outside of the EU could refuse entry to any economic or refugee attempting to enter through any EU member state through it's own rules.
Where an asylum seeker travels through several EU countries, the CEAS allows one EU country to send that person to the first EU country reached by the asylum seeker, so long as that country upholds the rights of asylum seekers. This so-called “Dublin system” privileges EU countries in the north, the desired destination of many refugees, at the expense of the south, where most refugees first arrived.

If the EU had got their fingers out years ago and enforced the agreement then the chaos in Calais would never have happened and what is happening today in Greece and Turkey would never have reared it's ugly head.
