re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
I've not made my mind up yet (even though my vote came today).
The main reason that those voting to leave are giving to me is the amount of EU immigrants coming here (which I sympathise with). However, isn't there some sort of agreement that prevents us ridding ourselves of the immigrants that we don't want (either due to quantity or quality)?
If we do leave the EU, what's to stop them coming in illegally or making spurious/false asylum claims like others do from non EU countries?
We would still have immigrants defecating, urinating, begging, stealing etc in public at various hotspots.
I think that just because a person lives in another EU country, that this entitles them to live wherever they want is totally ridiculous.
If we have to have this arrangement, at a very minimum, they should be able to demonstrate that they have a job, a home and savings to keep themselves in the UK before they are allowed in.
How about a 'one in one out' policy? Eg if a Pole wanted to come here, this would only be allowed if one UK person wanted to live in Poland.
What the hell did they think was going to happen after letting poor countries join Europe and allowing them to live where they want??
