Immigration is a legitimate concern, but it's not a good reason to leave the E.U.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I completely understand why people are concerned about immigration. There's no silver bullet, no one thing you can do to suddenly deal with all the problems and concerns with immigration, and that includes leaving the E.U.
I fought passionately to remain in the E.U., and I warned of the economic risks if we left the E.U.
That's where my job comes in. Getting the E.U. and U.S. to agree.
If you vote to leave the E.U.... we will have additional flexibility to help industries who really need it.
Immigration is a sensitive topic.
I am absolutely convinced that the E.U. will still be around. I am convinced the U.K. will be sitting at that table and not negotiating an exit, but being there to stay.
Immigration is a good thing. We should make that as easy as possible.
Leaving the E.U. would mean the 'Guernseyfication' of the U.K., which would then be a little country on the world scale. It would isolate itself and become a trading post and arbitration place at Europe's border.
So now is an opportunity for us to stand up and have a good, strong immigration policy to make sure that E- Verify becomes mandatory and we have got to train and properly equip our Border Patrol.
Leaving the E.U. was not the outcome that I wanted or campaigned, but now that democracy has spoken, we must act on that result. I will fully respect that result.
