Why business leaders are split on stay/remain

[BrilloPad]

Those who don't rely on cheap immigrants for labour want to leave. Else they want to stay.

Those doing hard farm labour are immigrants.

One of the big problems I have with this is that I think businesses will lobby equally hard to have cheap labour brought in from elsewhere even if we do leave. Just look at the comments made by Sir James Dyson about not being able to bring in engineers from outside the EU. I'm sure that there are plenty of STEM graduates in the UK who would love the opportunity to work at Dyson but probably won't even get a look in. What about employing or encouraging home grown talent rather than keep importing?

Like many others I suspect, I thought it would be a slam dunk that farmers would be for remaining in the EU due to subsidies and cheap unskilled labour...

I was told this week that it might not be so clear cut for the farming community.

Dyson wants to leave, but he uses cheap foreign workers to do all his manufacturing (probably the EUs fault for him having to pay British workers a reasonable wage)

And that's probably my biggest concern surrounding the who leave side of the argument. Reading between the lines of comments from the likes of Dyson and even the leave campaign I'm also getting an uneasy feeling that we'll just replace one set of immigration with another and not necessarily on a points based system as is being espoused, it will be more down to lobbying by wealthy companies and individuals.

In short, remain or leave, I cannot see there being a huge amount of difference regarding immigration post referendum.
