Everyone knows restricting migration damages our economy overall. Quite a lot of people think it might be a good idea in order to maintain some kind of cultural cohesion in their community and some stability in their personal economics. This is what they feel, even though evidence attributing immigrantion as a cause of these problems is often really weak.
This is a political reality entirely ignored by mainstream politics until the EU referendum.

It is noise anyway, the lack of control on the global banking system combined with local policies that drive up cost of living VS wages are more at fault than some Romanians. It is bad economic policies like austerity and the fact that betting on house prices can tumble down from the USA to the rest of the world.
But the banks cannot fail, because if they do all the pensions held there will devalue and you can strip a good value of your housing market too. And you -could- go there, but you a shitload of people end up bankrupt/with no pension. So then you could make an exception for that, but then what do you do with your currency? There are no easy answers.
But you can easily control immigrants eh?
