Immigration isn't something I believe will matter either way.
On exit all future trade deals with the EU will be contingent on the same/similar free movement of people. Maybe there will be some slight restrictions allowing us to nab a greater number of skilled workers from developing countries.
If we stay I think we'll have some minor fluffing and negotiation on the number/rate of people from new member counties.
Net net, I am dubious about anyone's claim it will change either way.
In fact imo the vast majority of the brexit "advantages" put forward, willdifference either way.

We have to wait and see. They are screwing over USA immigrants badly with a 36K wage after 2 years, or being part of a group with high skill shortages in the UK OR ELSE.
The ticket for Brexit does seem ran a lot of xenophobia and "themmuns are stealing jobs/lowering wages" and "Britain rules the waves".
No surprise of course with who started it all.At the same time, some people do feel the pressure like construction workers/painters, so to just ignore that and not at least offer retraining for free or something is a bit crass.

I'm not sure economically ... the price of fossil fuels is bound to go up again and the UK is sorta on the edge location wise.
It all depends on BREXIT team's plans but I've little confidence in the lot. Or in the current lot, but at least you sorta know where you stand.
A little miffed also that there's no clear vision on what's to happen to EU immigrants (dirty job stealers like me) or expats (like this lovely English bloke in the Dutch town where my parents live)
Such an opportunity to define a new UK but...same old, same old?
