Everybody in EU will have even bigger incentive to give visas on condition immigrants cross EU into UK.
Only way I can see this would work is if Britain gets so much poorer that immigrants would prefer to go back to war torn SyriaComment

Also you know there are camps by Calais & Gare de Nord filled with economic migrants that have crossed the EU and are willing to throw themselves onto lorries to get here.
Also once the tulip hits the fan the EU will be only too happy to bend the rules to save themselves.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Originally posted by WTFH View Post...and we got back to the alt-facts, alt-right attitude that 90% of those coming from the Middle East and Africa are doing so as "economic migrants" and the other 10% are terrorists.
Is the alt-right claiming that everything is peaceful in those countries and absolutely none of the people leaving them are doing so because they are fleeing fighting?
Genuine refugees have no hope of raising the money to get on those deathtrap boats, unless they're doing something illegal along the way, which is possible, or they have to submit to some form of slavery in order to get on the deathtrap boats, which is equally possible, and if anything, more likely. But the fact remains, the migrants mostly arrive in Italy and Greece, the two countries least able to cope with them, and what are the EU doing? Not much. I can't really blame the Italians for threatening to give the migrants an incentive (in the form of travel documents) in exchange for them leaving the country and moving North. Just as long as those travel documents are not valid at Dover.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment
