We've lost over 250k EU nationals since Brexit, almost all of them of working age. I said this throughout the referendum and immediate aftermath by the way, I'm not just jumping on the bandwagon now.

So in effect, if you voted for Brexit, you are making this country more appealing to Non-EU immigrants who want to come here because there are more job vacancies available for them.

The irony, right...

Its just another Brexit dividend, another Brexit win.
But you can't get a visa to work in the UK unless you meet quite stringent threshold, i.e. shortage occupation, salary requirements etc.. It's illegal to not perform right to work checks and employ illegal immigrants.

So those non-EU migrants wouldn't be able to work in the 1 million UK vacancies and if they do work, it would be in unregulated work, cash in hand jobs. Non-EU migrants aren't flocking here at the thought of working in these type of jobs.
