EU migrants will be allowed freedom to move to post-Brexit Britain

EU migrants will be free to live in a post-brexit Britain after Government plans revealed that they will not be subject to extensive border checks.

The proposal was revealed in a new official government document that outlined its approach to Northern Ireland in Brexit negotiations.

The plans claim that EU nationals will be free to enter via the Irish border, but reports have now suggested that all other ports and airports could be opened as a direct result of this.

However, Brexit supporters have claimed that it will not pose problems and instead say that EU nationals will still need a permit to work in the UK.

‘It is important to note that immigration controls are not, and never have been, solely about the ability to prevent and control entry at the UK’s physical border’, the paper stated.

‘Along with other member states, controlling access to the labour market and social security have long formed an integral part of the UK’s immigration system.’

But Mark Daly, the deputy leader of Ireland’s Fianna Fail, warned that a open border for goods access could effectively be a ‘smuggler’s charter’.

‘The reports of the proposal about this “frictionless and seamless” border appears more like fiction and clueless’, he said.

‘There are over 300 miles of border between the north and the south of Ireland and there are more border crossings on this island than there are between the European Union and all the countries to the east of it.’

Yesterday, new statistics also revealed that one in five people unemployed in the UK are migrants, for the first time ever.

New data showed that some 317,000 migrants in the UK are unemployed, including 98,000 who were born in the EU and 219,000 born outside the EU.
