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.

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.
