Some say that inside we would have been forced to accept a quota; but is that theory / a policy mooted by those being overwhelmed, or an enforceable EU law that has actually been applied?

Who actually comes here is a decision for the government of the day. They can decrease legal immigration when ever they please by changing the criteria for entry. Brexit is not the deciding factor.

What you're saying here is that when the British public are given a say on whether they want to control immigration....any kind of immigration (and the EU are swamping their own lands with non EU migrants...a point you're ignoring) that they should say 'no thanks'. Of course Johnson betrayed us....just as the Tories betrayed this country on immigration in every single manifesto since WW2. That truth is now stark with conservatives and they will suffer the consequences. A country that has full control of its immigration policy has no where to hide in terms of the truth. You just seem to be arguing for a slower swamping with no possibility of a political change that could reverse it......As being under the EU heel it would be impossible. The Brexit betrayal on immigration is the last straw. Edited by Stirlingsays (21 Mar 2024 2.22pm) 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

Please don't start that Wisbechesque codswallop. We have had a stable population for centuries. The Romans and Normans contributed next to nothing to our gene pool. Some of us have North Western European and Scandinavian heritage but the vast majority of genes swimming around Britain haven't changed much for 2000 years and beyond. On my mothers side, for example, I only got English and Scottish genes. I'm 84% English, a bit Scottish and a little bit Irish and Welsh, Norwegian and Germanic. You will find something similar for the vast majority. Hybrid vigour or heterosis is a good thing, but most of our new friends don't breed with the existing population. We now have a growing Balkanisation of Britain.

Originally posted by silvertop If you are saying that Brexit has caused a gap which is being filled by non-EU immigrants, I have seen no evidence but that could be possible. The point is that the total number of migrants is increasing. We still had plenty of non EU immigration while we were in Europe as the national demographic demonstrates. If we now have a greater proportion of Non EU migrants, that could be reduced at any time by any government by reducing the total numbers. The net result would still be less Non EU migrants.

Oh, and over 800 new illegals have arrived here in the last 2 days so far. It's only 2.34PM. The left are still trying to thwart any efforts to deal with this emergency situation and are threatening our way of life and costing us by doing so. How can anyone think that voting Labour is a good idea? Why are we not introducing emergency measures and set up a camp on some remote island until they can be processed? It would be worth the cost to discourage migrants and shut down the business model. We also need much better security at ports. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (21 Mar 2024 2.41pm)

The government did strictly control non EU migration before Brexit, especially after the expansion east, arguing that our needs could all be served from there. It is only after Brexit that things have relaxed, For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.
