The Perplexing Problem Of Who Can Stay And Who Must Go When Brexit Bites

There are fears in Brussels that the UK immigration system will be unable to define who has the right to stay and who must leave when Brexit finally bites.  There is no means of tracking EU nationals when they enter or leave the UK.  There is a very real fear that EU nationals living in the UK legally will be left in a chaotic no man's land as for some people there will be no way of demonstrating the validity of their right to live in the UK.

The British Home Office does not have the systems nor the information to be able to determine which of the 3.3 million EU citizens that are currently residing in the UK, are legally entitled to remain.  The majority of the British people believe that EU nationals living in the UK should be given the automatic right to remain and the present situation is creating considerable anxiety amongst the European citizens in Britain.
