Exactly. It's strange but it is what it is. I know people who love me and my company and voted for Brexit because they didn't see me an an immigrant

I have a friend from croatia who is in the same boat here in my country as well. Go figure. I think this shows how the fear for the immigrant is just the good old fear of the different from us, suddenly when the immigrant is not a generic someone else but someone you know, it's not really an immigrant anymore.
