Abstract

Since 2010, free movement of EU citizens to the UK has become one of the most politicized issues in the UK, with a special focus on the so-called welfare tourism. Migration has turned from a matter of some concern to a source of instability, with migrants labelled as cultural and security threats. Thus, immigration was one of the most emotive, most contentious issues of the Brexit referendum campaign in 2016, and reached so many controversies, such as Farage’s infamous poster, urging the British citizens to take back control of borders.The article aims to briefly reveal UK’s short history of migration, then the focus will move on the withdrawal agreement and its impact on migration and the risks associated with a no deal scenario. The changes induced by Brexit into the migration and mobility processes are diverse, therefore, the objective of the Withdrawal Agreement is to limit to a minimum the disruption to people’s lives which the UK’s departure might cause.
