“Yet, those crossing the border would have some rights to enter and work in Britain, right?” Absolutely wrong. Where did you get that idea?

“Yet, those crossing the border would have some rights to enter and work in Britain, right?” Absolutely wrong. Where did you get that idea?
- tathougies 8y agoI'm not an EU or UK citizen, so I don't really know, but my initial assumption seems right: http://www.aboutimmigration.co.uk/eu-citizens-working-uk.html http://www.aboutimmigration.co.uk/eu-citizens-working-uk.htm... > Despite the vote to exit the EU, the UK will still remain a member of the EU until Article 50 negotiations have concluded. This means most citizens of countries in the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland have the right to live and work in the UK under European law. European nationals may also bring their family with them to live in the UK. However, to exercise the right to live in the UK nationals of these countries must be able to support themselves and their families without having to rely on public funds. > European nationals with the right to live in the UK are, with certain exceptions, are still entitled to work in the UK and do not need to obtain a visa or work permit in order to do so. European nationals have the same rights as UK citizens in this respect, and employers must treat them equally. An employer who treats an EEA or Swiss worker differently purely because he is not from the UK is guilty of discrimination. It sounds like if turkey were to enter the EU, Turkish nationals would have some kind of right to enter the United Kingdom.
- detaro 8y ago> I mean... britain wouldn't be the ones policing the border, it would be turkey. You were clearly talking about the Turkish border in your previous comment. Entering Turkey doesn't make you an EU citizen, and the UK, not being part of Schengen and having no land border to the mainland, has lots of freedom to police it's own borders against non-EU nationals trying to enter from other EU countries. Turkish (then EU) citizens would have the right to enter and work in the UK, yes.
- tathougies 8y agoAh, because the UK has its own internal border where they would verify citizenship. I forgot about that. So you're saying that, if an Iraqi national is allowed entry into a hypothetical Turkey in the EU -- even if Turkey were to have open borders with the rest of the EU -- that same person would have to go through UK border security separately still.
- Symbiote 8y agoCorrect, and they would risk deportation in Turkey, the UK, or whatever EU state they reside in until discovered. The other countries tend to check residence before allowing a job, healthcare or similar.
- tathougies 8y agoWhy would they risk deportation if they legally entered turkey?
- riquito 8y agoThey wouldn't, somehow the parent must have thought about illegal immigrants, or felons
- Symbiote 8y agoI was still thinking in the context, several comments up, of > I mean... britain wouldn't be the ones policing the border, it would be turkey.
- tathougies 8y agoI was referring to Britain likely having different rules and standards for entry than Turkey.

- pjc50 8y agoTurkish nationals would. You started out talking about Iraqis. Simply crossing the border into Turkey does not convey rights to enter the UK.
- tathougies 8y agoYou're right. I forgot the UK has its own border with the EU and doesn't have open borders like other EU countries.
