When one looks back at immigration in the last 500 years, one finds that the British indigenous race today is a mixed race. The history of just East End area of London is interesting. In the 16th century Dutch traders began to settle: leather workers and locksmiths, Dutch and French Huguenots (13,000), and Irish, Jews and Chinese also came. In 1880's 100,000 Russian and Polish Jews and about 20,000 German, Austrian, Dutch and Romanian Jews came to East End. In the 20th century immigrants from West Indies, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh came.
All these just in East End. When one considers the whole of United Kingdom, you need to multiply these migration several times over. Leaving free access to the Common Market will average about 50% less (economic and cultural) growth every year for the entire next generation of 35 years as growth has always depended on this continuous flow of immigrants.
