I agree. It's a lot easier to be relaxed about this matter when your daily life is barely affected by it. As we've seen in the EU though, people in places like Austria and Germany were relaxed (and welcoming) about it all until the migrants started moving from Greece and S. Italy to their countries and didn't stop. We all know what happened then. What people here need to realise is that if the numbers carry on at the present rate, they will eventually have to face the truth but it'll be too late to do anything about it. Without any great influx from Syria officially, yet, the fact is that our population is growing by c. 1,000,000 people every 3 years, half of which is EU migration and therefore unstoppable. Add to that the additional population increases due to birth rates amongst the new migrants and the figure will be even higher in the longer term. Whilst we're in the EU we cannot stop this despite the fact that our services and infrastructure demonstrably cannot cope with the needs of the current population.
No, leaving the EU won't solve our immigration problems overnight or be a panacea for all our ills but it'll help considerably in tackling a serious problem which threatens to destabilise the whole of Europe.
