EU Imigrants, some will be asked to leave UK (6)
tomcatwarne: LONDON (AP) -- Exposing the uncertainties unleashed by Britain's decision to leave the European Union, the U.K. minister in charge of negotiating the divorce said Sunday that most EU citizens in Britain when it leaves the bloc will be able to stay — but some might have to leave.Brexit Secretary David Davis dismissed suggestions that the estimated 3 million EU nationals now living in Britain might be forced to leave, telling Sky News that "I want to see a generous settlement for the people here already. They didn't seek this circumstance — we did."
But he said if a surge of new immigrants trying to "beat the deadline" floods into Britain before it leaves the EU, the Conservative government may have to set a cutoff date."We may have to say that the right to indefinite leave to remain protection only applies before a certain date," Davis said in a separate interview with the Mail on Sunday newspaper. "You have to make those judgments on reality, not speculation."
A desire to reduce immigration from other EU nations was a key reason many Britons voted last month to leave the EU. Under the bloc's rules, EU nationals can move feely among member states, and Britain has seen its population swelled by hundreds of thousands of new arrivals in recent years.Prime Minister Theresa May has been criticized for refusing to guarantee the right of EU citizens to remain in the U.K. after its EU exit — something that is more than two years away. She says she needs to ensure that hundreds of thousands of Britons living in other EU countries get the same protection.

Fair enough to send back the new comers. However, the EU nationals may be much more beneficial for the UK than your friends in your former colonies in Africa, ME, Asia....

Maybe the entire package remains to be seen, what happens to the Commonwealth is open to trading arrangements.

Immigrants of the muslim variety should be shown the door first, or better still, leave through the window

What I am wondering is: when will you start doing something about the muslim parallel society in the UK? Haven't read any mention of that
