Sigh.
Well they found a lot more than 5 illegal immigrants working in the "Indian" restaurant last year
they found 7 at one of my local indian restaurants
they got raided at 6pm on a friday evening so they had to close for a while till they could get legal staff
EDIT:...

I think if we left the EU we would have more room to let in people who the majority would actually want as their neighbour because they spoke the same language and had similar values. It's a fairly simple point I'm making here
I'm genuinely trying to understand what the argument is because on the surface it claims to be about fairness, and then it turns out the rules actually affect people that voted for the government that brought it in at which point all you hear is vague non-committal comments about "hey guys what's wrong with this picture" with a bunch of unpleasant stereotypes thrown in.
Why is an immigration policy that sets an earnings threshold such a terrible thing? Is it because it affects people who didn't think they would be affected by it? If we leave the EU and apply the same policy to everybody then it will still affect you. Is that a price worth paying if it means a bunch of Romanians have to go home?
Jesus Christ it's not difficult.
The reason this government or any government has to impose these barriers is because they are being forced to. They have no choice, nil, nada, none. Capice? They are already fudging the figures to show a "mere" 3-400k net migration, these are the figures massaged to be their best.
Any political party that opens the door to the rest of the world may as well not bother putting themselves up for election next time, they all know this. They are doing what they can.

So, let's say we leave. What's going to happen to my Mrs? She's Polish, has two Masters degrees and a decent job. Is she going to get kicked out? I don't think so.
Let's say she decides to stay home and look after our son, will she get kicked out then?

No I do get it. You don't want to live near people that don't speak English, spit seeds, are probably rapists as well as fly tippers, and would rather they could all be swapped for Australians and Kiwi's who would most likely do none of those things.
There's just no real need to dress it up as some sort of campaign for equal treatment at the hands of immigration laws. Just call it what it is - you want out of the EU because you don't think the people that it allows to remain in the UK indefinitely are particularly pleasant. Otherwise you're in the position of wanting less immigration but criticizing harsher requirements for people to move here, it makes no sense.

I can't see what relevance this has? The leave campaign has never called for migrants to be kicked out of the country or booted out of their jobs. If they refused to employ current migrants, the stayers would be screaming racist at them and using it as another stick to beat them with.
Can't do right for doing wrong these days.
No, why should she?
Are you married?
There are other people having their significant others kicked out for the same reasons you are worried about. Indiscriminately and unfairly I may add in a desperate attempt to make the stats fit.
I'd say that you should be one of the first to understand this argument.
You appear to have a penchant for missing the point.
The old blame it on the Tories shtick is quite frankly.
Stupid.

No one wants anyone kicked out, we want sensible control of immigration moving forward like every other first world country that isn't in Europe. I haven't seen anyone who wants to leave the EU ask for anyone to be deported
Definate Nimbyisms from that one.

Agree. If all migrants living and working in this country were to be kicked out if we left, I would vote remain. The country would be in turmoil if we lost them all. But no such demands are being made. We are just at the point where it cannot be left uncontrolled any more.
I still say we should kick some out though. Like the previously mentioned ones who like to live in sheds and parks and kill swans for dinner. They have no place here.

Personally, I'd rather kick out the lazy brits who refuse to work and live their lives on the dole.

I really hate this argument. Where exactly would they go? And if the likes of Romania did the same thing and they all came here, would you be so supportive of that policy then? All countries have their share of work shy layabouts. You can't just dump them off to become another countries problem.
