The simple answer to that would be for the Leave campaign to set out
hard proposals for how they would handle Brexit. They still haven't
done so.

Given immigration is probably the issue that decides this, it would be
good to get some details from the outers what they propose to do with
all the immigrants already here.

Nothing except kick out the worst of those who get convicted of a serious
crime.

Kick them out where ?

Back to where they came from.

The problem is the various refugee conventions

We aren't talking about refugees, we are talking about
EU citizens who have chosen to move to Britain.

to which the UK is a signatory - totally divorced from the EU - which
strictly limit the number of possible destinations.

There is nothing like that with EU citizens who have moved to Britain.

Britain is free to send the worst of the convicted
criminals back to the country they came from.

France already does that with Romanians and doesn't
even restrict that to the worst of the convicted criminals.

The EU doesn’t like that and France just keeps doing that regardless.

Furthermore sod's law will probably dictate that the most pathological
problem cases are from countries which are not seen as fit destinations.

That isnt the case with EU citizens, by definition their
country would not have been allowed to join the EU
if the country wasn’t a fit destination for its nationals.

That is what happens with immigrants from the commonwealth.

That's because very few if any Commonwealth Countries are currently
engaged in civil wars or similar "local difficulties" .

Neither are any EU countries.
