Why would they? But I think Fizz's basic point is sound: people understood that UK's ability to legislate on immigration was constrained by its EU membership, even if they did not understand the precise effects of that constraint. And the point that the ability to change immigration law does not imply a need to change immigration control protocols is also well taken. | |

In other words, the worry was not mainly about illegal immigration sneaking in as much the legal one that gets (legally) through the existing controls at UK's borders. Are you sure that not many people voted for Brexit because of refugees and Muslims? You may underestimate the power of misinformation. | |
