Some control vs hardly any control.

We won't have that much choice after sticking our bum at the EU.
Our negotiating position will be very poor.
That's where being in a block makes sense.
And how do you explain the UK government has been unable to control the non-EU immigration all these years? What gives you the confidence they'll be able to control it bc we left the EU?
Not to mention losing the freedom of working and living all over Europe.
EU immigration is only temporary anyway. As the Eastern European countries get richer and catch up with the West the movement will cease. It may even reverse. But Britain won't take advantage of that, sadly.
