So we won't be taking control of our borders that way.
We could still have free movement of people but within limits specified by the UK government. After all it is the UK which has to provide the resources to deal with their needs. Housing, education and the NHS are already failing to meet UK needs at present so uncontrolled immigration is not acceptable.

We are not about to expel EU nationals already working in the UK unless they are criminals or are jobless.

The UK will still need to welcome and rely on immigrants but we need a better plan to manage their presence.
