It's political sociopathy, narcissism, and solipsism all rolled into one. If working people are so invested in racism and xenophobia dressed up as immigration concerns, that they are prepared to adversely affect future generations of their own families then there's not a lot you can do.

That didn't just spring up out of the ground, though, the propaganda of fear has been pushed and pushed every day for a decade or more to get people to this point. It was done deliberately and nefariously, chipping away at the public mindset, and the effects of that are now pretty clear. The same people who orchestrated that are heavily pro-Brexit and stand to gain in various ways through Brexit and that's no coincidence.
