Randall	Only about 40% of immigration to the UK is from the EU. The top five countries of origin for immigrants are China, India, Poland, USA and Australia. If immigration was the chief concern of those who voted for Brexit, the government could have responded by cutting non-EU immigration quite easily.
JK2006	Thanks for explaining that Randall; but I think we still can accept that EU citizens (the majority of those who Brexiteers are trying to stop entering the UK) could still legitimately enter the Republic of Ireland and, if there is no border on the island, then the UK. Correct?

Doesn't seem a realistic endeavour to me. Well, a physical border existed - monitored and controlled by the two countries - for 85 years, until 2006!
Randall	That's not quite right, JK. Most asylum seekers are granted some form of residence permit while their case is being processed. Note that that's a residence permit, for the country they've claimed in. Not a valid international travel document. Of course, if they travel within the Schengen zone, it doesn't matter, because there are no controls at border crossings. But they wouldn't be allowed even to buy a ticket for an international ferry. And even if they were, they wouldn't be allowed to embark. And even if they were, on arrival in Ireland, they'd be asked to show passport or national ID card in order to enter the country. As for the border between the Republic and Norther Ireland, I don't see how a border post can be put on every little lane. Nor some kind of fence across all the fields.

JK2006	That's interesting, Randall, about the Schengen Zone; I would think, however, most refugees stuck in Calais had, indeed, managed to get papers allowing them to remain in the EU. And therefore can legitimately come to Ireland. If there is No Border on the island of Ireland (which everyone seems to agree should be the case) - unless the UK declares Northern Ireland no longer part of the UK and a border "in the sea", there CANNOT be Brexit. As I've said for years.
