The vote means we leave the EU but that is really all that was on the ballot and there is nothing stopping Remain voters from advocating for the terms they would rather have and a Britain they would rather see. Brexit was not a mandate for everything you've ever wanted. You can see part of the problem with this in the tension in the Brexit camp with different versions of what it entails.

The benefits of Brexit trade deals could take nearly two decades to emerge and the Treasury may lose more than £20 billion a year in tax, some ministers believe amid cabinet splits on the issue.
A senior Brexit-supporting minister said that Britain would reap in “two to four years” the economic rewards of leaving the EU, but Remain colleagues accused Brexiters of “a reality gap” between rhetoric and what was achievable. Britain’s next steps towards Brexit risk being beset by tensions between ministers despite public displays of unity at the Tory conference.
Divisions have emerged over the scale of dangers facing the economy; how long it will take to agree trade deals; the value of warnings by the City of London; and the consequences of the fall in the value of sterling.

The government talking as if foreign-born doctors can stay 'for now' and companies have to publish the numbers of foreign workers doesn't suggest a country that simply want to control immigration but one which wants to get of them. If qualified doctors who are here already aren't safe then you can't really say this is about low-skilled migration or uncontrolled migration - it's about getting rid of foreigners.
