> That was the free movement agrement within the EU which the UK agreed to when it joined the EU > The UK still had sovereignty to kick out all illegal people which had no right to enter the UK I promise I'm not trying to misrepresent you here so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is your argument is as follows: The UK agreed to join the EU which as a requirement of it's membership means all EU citizens the right to live and work in the UK – we agree on this. But next I start to lose you. I think what you're saying is because we choose to join the EU and accept free move, we could therefore always choose to leave. So really we always had power to control our borders because we could always choose to leave the EU and not allow free movement? But the issue I'm having is that you also think it's silly to vote to leave the EU to control our borders? Additionally you added: > The UK still had sovereignty to kick out all illegal people which had no right to enter the UK. But what's your point here? EU citizens had the legal right to enter the UK as you noted above? Sorry if I'm being dense here lol.
