I respect your reasoning but what has the EU got to do with the number of Poles in the UK?
The UK retains the right to reduce the number of EU immigrants entering by setting immigration and settlement requirements AND remain part of the EU. Plenty of EU countries do it. Austria even has a points based immigration system for EU citizens.
As a Brit, I do not have the right to welfare and healthcare in all other EU countries. Why do we allow it? The EU would let us if we wanted to...
There are so many Poles in the UK because the government has made a deliberate decision to boost the population via immigration. Whether you think its a good thing or not, the EU is not to blame.
