The fact is that there are no borders to money. People focus on things like brexit thinking it would ger them good jobs and keep away competition (inmigrants). On practice, it close doors to them because money flight to tax heavens anyway and while other countries have bad working conditions and few human rights, production would move to there too.
If you want to keep your “identity”, you could also ban Netflix, USA movies, internet, music… But for me that doesn’t make sense.
What part of your identity is threatened by inmigrants? Do you feel that eating a kebab is harmful? Maybe is the music? Their clothes? Or, maybe, is religion?
But then, we have already dealt with that in European history. The crusades taught us what happen when you want to impose your religion. In England there have been several wars because religion: catholics vs protestant, right? Is that really what you want to preserve? By the way, what about converts? If someone with arabic roots converts to be protestant, would that person be acceptable or they skin color would discualify?
And what would you do with atheist? Are they also a threath? And feminism? Is that a threath too? They don’t share the cristian idean about the way we should live with women being submisive, sorry, complementary and in the house.
Change is unavoidable and identity what we made of it. But if you bother to read about Europe’s history, you’ll learn that we have always been diverse. If you thing that you would get more control of the economic factors by walking away from Europe, you are naive. Basically because multinational companies have a lot more power than before and is easier to manipulate one person, than several people. Same way, is easier to presure one government into running legislation good for you company, than the whole UE.
Anyway, suit yourself, UK experience with Brexit is already showing the cost of being alone. We have yet to see the advantages. XD
