Brexit Thread

[Pannonian]

How many is fewer and why are people in Britain homeless in the first place? Are you saying there were no unemployed or homeless people in Britain before the Poles came? Tell me at which point before the Poles came you would have solved this and how that would have worked. There has to be something, such as steadily decreasing rates and/or an increase when the Polish flood came or something like that, no?

EU migrants, as a group, contribute more in taxes than they draw in benefits. The British state, and by extension the British people, profit from the EU migrant demographic in the UK. If the British government has not been using that profit wisely, that's the responsibility of the British government, not the EU. But it's easier to blame the foreigners.

Unlike the EU migrant population in the UK, which is mostly young and working and thus tax paying, I'd imagine the British demographic in, let's say Spain, is considerably older and less of a net positive fiscally. Any negotiations about the deportation of EU citizens from the UK will probably see the reciprocal expulsion of these UK immigrants (so-called "ex-pats") back to the UK, with the loss of tax paying EU citizens and the addition of non-tax-paying UK citizens.

There may be arguments for e Nexit. But those arguments don't apply to a Brexit. EU migrants pay more in taxes to the British state than they claim in benefits. The UK's main problems with immigration come from non-EU migrants. Which has been under the full control of the UK government all this time, outside the EU's responsibility.
