AFAICR, some years ago I was the first major poster here to mention in
a major thread that population levels are a problem.

The difference is that I don't distinguish between immigration from
different sources - I don't care whether someone wants to come here
from the EU, or Australia, Canada, US, etc. AFAIAC the country is
full and the sign says "No Vacancies" to all, no matter how educated,
distinguished, skilled, or talented, and regardless of race, creed, or
religion.

Boat people are not from within Europe, so there is every reason to
repatriate them at the first opportunity.

Much illegal immigration into this country happens with the connivance
of business, because it can exploit such people more easily than the
native born population, as has been seen from various news stories
such as the drownings in Morecambe Bay. This in turn leads to the
involvement of criminal gangs, perhaps even organised crime, with gang
leaders skimming wages, etc. Employers in the country should be
prepared to pay legal minimum wages to native residents, with fines
too awful to comtemplate if found conniving in illegal activity.

If migrant workers here on temporary work permits become unemployed,
AIUI there is no reason they shouldn't immediately be repatriated,
even if from within the EU, and if I'm wrong about that, then that is
something that needs to be changed, but it's not a reason to leave the
EU.
