Brexit: What it means for the migrants already living in Britain
When the Brexit result became official Friday June 24, jubilant Leave campaigners dubbed it “Independence Day” — but not everyone was celebrating.
A substantial minority, 48 percent, of the British electorate had voted to stay in the EU. It’s safe to say many of the 3 million migrants from other EU countries, now living in Britain, were not overjoyed either.
