But if the immigration is legal then the control isn't failing at all, is it?

The few brexitters I talked with shared the same stance, that it was not acceptable for the EU to dictate immigration to the UK. It was not a matter of the influx itself, but about having that control. sovereignty was a big thing.

Well, yes, people wanted control, but also to hear the foreigners are kept out. Not, good news, on our own volition, we decided to let in more people than ever.
