Brexit was the best experiment for that. They kick immigrants out so all jobs went to the local population. People didn't want them, produce was left in the fields, deliveries were not made, tables were not waited on and some companies folded. Anyway, immigration is now back and higher than it used to be, but from other countries.

As a Mexican, the movie was meh.

Wait, so they got rid of the Poles and other Eastern Europeans they loved to hate—who are they importing for labor now?

India, China and Nigeria.

So yeah, that voting for Brexit "to keep our brown people" didn't turn out like they thought it would.
