You were probably swayed by Russian influence. Let me explain how:

Russia unhappy with the EU, decided to join the Syrian war (after years). They bomb the crap out of civilians and trigger the largest refuge migration Europe has ever seen.

The numbers are so big that nobody is prepared, Germany decides to take the high ground and allow them in.

This triggered a fear in the UK that our borders are unchecked and other EU countries have control over them.

The fact is that Russia, the UK and the USA have been playing proxy wars like this for decades.
