Until we build an economy that doesn't need high immigration and enforce existing laws to prevent the exploitation of the low-paid EU worker then we will have high immigration. This is the main thrust of Corbyn's policy on immigration, although he doesn't call it that, and could be carried out without leaving the EU. To build an economy that doesn't need immigration we need a massive investment in education and skills development - again Corbyn's policy.
You can leave the EU and cut EU immigration if you want, but then, if nothing else is changed, there will be 10s of thousands of vacant skilled and unskilled jobs. This will have to be filled with labour from Asia, the Middle East and Africa. That will please Kippers no end!
