Post-Brexit immigration fears

Conversely, the UK has young working EU people that are generally not a burden.

Immigrants contribute £2,300 more per year to the British economy than Brits, and £78,000 more over their lifetime.

So not only will we lose that economic boost, we'll get an influx of British pensioners in need of pensions, benefits and free healthcare.

The British who live in the EU like myself legally had to register after 3 months and apply for a residency card.
It took me about 4 months in 2016 to become Belgian as I had been a resident since 2003.
EU nationals have no legal requirement to register at the city hall.As a British citizen , I have only been on a voters roll for 1 year of my working life. There must be a lot of EU citizens who have no documented evidence of living in the UK.

The subject of undocumented EU citizens in the UK as been in the the foreign press. There are many workers living in flat shares and houses in multiple occupation and on casual work.

If they are working legally they should have National Insurance number and track record of tax payments ...

It will be granted. British expats are an economic boon to European countries and they will concede, I'm sure of it.

You misspelled “immigrants”.

Is that like EU migrants are an economic boon to the UK?

Brits tend to be too poorly educated and unskilled nowadays in terms of the very best jobs.
Maybe it was different in the past, but that's the past.
That's why London is the most productive place in the UK - it's majority foreign.

It's a difficult truth.

It's a made-up truth.

Designed primarily for gullible dullards like me to gorge myself upon as it serves to support my misguided fallacies.

The statistic that really stands out like a sore thumb is the 53% of Brits who have a low education compared to 14% of immigrants.

Unfortunately that alone is not considered as evidence of resistance.
