Introduction

On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom held a nationwide referendum in which citizens

across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland voted in response to the following

question: “Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the

European Union?” (Zaken, 2019) More than 30 million votes were cast, resulting in a

referendum turnout of 72.2%. Leave won by 51.9% to 48.1% (Wheeler, Seddon, & Morris,

2019), with almost 17.5 million people voting to exit the EU (Casciani, 2018). A portmanteau of

“Britain” and “exit”, “Brexit” refers to Britain’s split from the EU, changing its economic and

political relationship to the bloc on trade, security and migration (Mueller, 2019). Although the

UK’s entry into the EU (formerly known as the European Economic Community) in 1973 had

initially been controversial, a referendum held in 1975 showed a 67% vote to Remain, indicating

in the Brexit debate. The EU is an economic and political union of 28 countries in Europe which

contains four freedoms that govern the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital

within its countries. Brexit has reignited the discussion surrounding the free movement of people

– the opportunity for EU citizens to live and work in any EU country (Brinke, 2017). In the

Brexit debate, the Leave campaign argued that Brexit entails tighter border control over EU

immigration to the UK. Immigration statistics show that between 1995 and 2015, the number of

EU immigrants in the UK tripled from 0.9 million to 3.3 million, increasing their share from

1.5% to 5.3% of the total population (Wadsworth, Dhingra, Ottaviano, & Reenen, 2016). As a
