Some voters though seem to think that the immigration that has already happened would be reversed if we left.
Both campaigns are to blame for this perception though. Remain wanted to terrify people that there would be deportations and Leave didn't want to alienate voters who are voting because of immigration, especially in there area, they both made lip-service to the notion they would stay. Especially the Tory Leavers (Gove, Hannan and Johnson) but not especially loudly.
They'll be fine.

Yes There was something I heard on tv about preparing for a massive influx before we leave the EU but don't know how much truth there was in it.

I think secretly they wanted us to vote leave. One spokesperson on tv said we were moaners and there's not a lot of love lost. Junkyard seems to want rid of us quickly. Makes you wonder?

What's the reason for a second ref?
