It's quite possible some of the Remain crowd were more scared of the economic impacts of brexit than of unchecked immigration (which to be honest was an extremely short-sighted EU policy. Anything left unchecked or without controls will be exploited).

The ultimate irony will be, when the exit conditions are negotiated, if a non-restrictive immigration policy with the EU somehow still makes it.

It's nonsense that there is unchecked immigration. Far from it. See frontex ops in the Mediterranean sea for one of many cruel examples.

There is free movement of people _within_ the EU. But that's hardly headline at this point.
