We are just a small island, and emigration has to be balanced with immigration if we want to provide decent services to the population. We can't just keep taking more and more people in, that is madness.

As we are already over-populated, we should be taking in only those with the skills we need, not every Tom, Dick and Harry looking for a job over here.
But EEA migration has a small if any impact on these according to this government report - https://assets.publishing.service.go...EEA_report.PDF Non-EEA migration we can control anyway

What will be interesting is what we will do in the low skill, low pay roles that many EEA migrants have filled such as hospitality, care and agriculture. If we keep current minimum qualification and pay caps, these roles will not be filled by migration as no visas will be issued
