It hast nothing to do with Brexit, I suggest this is actually a kind of political bigotry. Here's data showing national attitudes towards migrants [1], the UK has consistently one of, if not the most positive view in Europe towards migrants. It's always been a fairly pluralistic place relative to most places on the continent. The notion of reducing migration or having some control over it is fundamentally different that views of migrants themselves, much like there's a big distinction between regular migrants and undocumented migrants, which is sometimes conveniently ignored for political reasons. The rules for migrants are varied in every country, they are similar on the Continent in many ways where they have their own bits of weirdness. The Falkland Islands have a population of 3000, which is really, really small. Every 'small nation' especially the really tiny one's are going to have a really peculiar take on basically everything. There's either one person, or not even one person the kinds of jobs for which we take for granted.
