I agree with him. I have moved from a town that had mainly Asian immigrants, to the point that parts of that town were occupied only by Asian families. White people were 'discouraged' from living there. Nothing against the Asians, I found them polite and hard working for the most part. However, when the town saw an influx of immigrants from many other countries, it was the Asians who were most against it, which I thought ironic.
The issue of leaving the EU or not is not only about immigration. I have copied and pasted this from a FB post, the lady mentioned is not my friend, but these are the reasons why I will be voting to leave.
My friend Lou is studying economics and politics at university and has been brave enough to make her vote to exit the EU known to the world of Facebook. Unfortunately, some of her Facebook friends don't agree with her. I thought I would share this with you as she has studied a lot and makes some very honest and interesting points
For anyone still on the fence regards voting in or out and are seeking a non-scare mongering approach from either side see below - since I've been studying global politics and economics for the past 5 years I might as well give my two penneth's worth...
If you Vote leave 👍
You are NOT voting to leave the European Economic Area or WTO, meaning all of the UK's trade and benefit agreements will remain unchanged should we leave, until such a time that the UK decides to renegotiate them for any reason.
You are NOT voting to leave NATO, meaning our security agreements remain unchanged. Should we experience an act of hostility from a non-NATO member, then NATO countries are obliged to come to our assistance. This does not change.
You are NOT voting to leave the UN, G8 or G20, meaning Britain will have the same voice on the world stage as it does today.
You are NOT voting to leave Europe!! The UK will still, geographically, be part of Europe. Non political organisations aligned to Europe will still extend membership to the UK (I.e. sports governing bodies, and so on).
You are NOT voting to stop recognising Interpol, Europol and neither are you voting for SIS / MI6 to stop dealing with other intelligence services in the fight against terrorism and global, organised crime.
You are NOT voting against being able to travel to Europe. The UK has always maintained stricter border and passport controls than many EU members. This will NOT change. You will still use a passport to go on holiday and you will still be allowed entry to countries in Europe. The British passport is the 1st or 2nd most powerful passport in the world, and you can enter most non EU countries without any visa requirement. It is scaremongering to suggest that EU countries will want to deter British visitors by imposing visas.
Medical and sciences research will NOT simply stop. The UK pays into the EU to then get money back in the form of funding. The UK will now be in control of this money and can choose to fund whatever UK based medical, science, art or other research it chooses, without also funding the same areas in other countries as we currently do.
Farming will NOT lose money because of EU funding being cut. The UK negotiated a rebate of some monies that the UK pays to the EU, in order to subsidise UK farmers. Instead of asking for our money back, we can give it straight to farmers. No change there, other than the subsidies are likely to better spent.
You are NOT voting against human rights. The EU Convention and European Court of Human Rights are not part of the EU. Until parliament passes a new bill of rights for the UK, these will still apply, as will precedents already passed down to UK courts from Brussels.
You are NOT voting to kick anyone out of the UK. Under the Luxembourg compromise all those already in the UK are legally entitled to remain. You often hear people say our NHS is run by foreigners. This is not only untrue but it ignores the fact that most of those foreigners are not from European countries but Asian and African countries, which proves that when needed, migrants from countries we are not in a political union with are welcome to live and work here.
What you are voting for is UK sovereignty. You ARE voting to stay in or leave a political union of leaders and representatives that British people did not elect. You ARE voting against a commission of unelected men that nobody at all voted for and yet make decisions on our behalf. You are simply voting to bring sovereignty back to Westminster, and that is all. Why is this important? Not just because of 800 years of Magna Carta or because we fought a civil war over it, or because we stood alone against the German war machine to defend freedom and democracy, but because we deserve an accountable government working in the interests of the British people, not a sclerotic, one-size-fits-all dictatorship which has wrecked the European economy through its ever closer union.
The government and EU funded organizations, and some big business, has come out with baseless fear projections to scare people into voting for the status quo. This is not because remaining is what's best for the British people, its because leaving the EU would be a serious dent in the global elite's strive for global governance and a post-democratic society, whilst big business is favoured by the EU's policies.
