But even if it did, the evidence clearly shows that reducing immigration from Europe has no positive effect. Only downside. Not to mention that non-EU immigration still constitutes a larger group of immigrants than those from Europe.
This misconception is the UK's perceived "problem" and the main motivation for Brexit. Without the [incited] xenophobia, the referendum would have clearly gone the other way. The EU has little to do with that, and therefore leaving it is not a "remedy".
Lastly, statistically, immigration in the UK is hardly a "crisis" worthy of the damage caused by the imaginary non-remedy. But that's what almost a third of the population voted for, which apparently is (conveniently) perceived as "democracy".
But you voted for it, and now you'll have to live with the consequences. So don't go blaming everyone else for it.

This is yet another Brexit misrepresentation. The UK does not subscribe to schengen. "Just walking in" doesn't exist. And for what "freedom of movement" does exist, the UK has historically failed to implement all controls available to it.
But even if it did, the evidence clearly shows that reducing immigration from Europe has no positive effect. Only downside. Not to mention that non-EU immigration still constitutes a larger group of immigrants than those from Europe.

The country did vote for Brexit, even if some us personally didn't; so all Brits, regardless of our individual views, need to face up to the reality and adapt to the situation.

Are people EVER going to stop going on about immigration to the UK
FFS people, you had your referendum which got turned into a "blame the foreigner" fest, you won your referendum, everything is now going to be wonderful. There are about 7.7 billion people on the planet, of whom about 60 million live in the UK. THERE ARE A LOT OF FOREIGNERS! And some of them are going to move around, including to the UK. Accept it, and stop turning every single bloody discussion about bloody everything into a complaint about immigrants - wherever they come from and wherever they're going.
Thanks, I feel better now.

So which UK laws are they not currently following. I suspect you're referring to UK domestic immigration law, which doesn't apply to EU and EEA nationals at present because the UK is still part of a multinational agreement.

I have read reports of the gradual introduction of robots.

I was replying to a Poster who seems obsessed with 'strawberry-pickers' and 'baristas' as apparently the only unskilled jobs in the UK!

They still need to meet certain criteria. That successive UK governments chose not to enforce failure to meet these criteria isn't the fault of EU migrants. But that 'walking in as of right' thing, well they still have to go through passport control, which should be updated if there's evidence of criminality in any EU member state by anyone seeking entry, and these can be refused entry.
And that 'walking in as by right' also applies to Brits wanting to live and work in other EU countries, who tend to enforce breaches of rules in most cases more strongly than the UK does.
