We ' re talking about foreigners your own government is letting in and will continue to let in after you leave the Union , so please stop this nonsense . No . At present , under EU laws the UK has to accept any and all immigration from European Union member states , in accordance with Article 45 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union , quoting verbatimSuch freedom of movement shall entail the abolition of any discrimination based on nationality between workers of the Member States as regards employment , remuneration and other conditions of work and employment . After Article 50 is invoked and the UK has left the European Union , this treaty will no longer apply and migrants from the EU will require work or other visas like everyone else .
