Start packing your bags!I do not believe there should be any special terms for EU migrants. Once we have left the EU there will be no legal basis to treat them differently from migrants from non-EU countries.
I think he means prospectively. That is to say that EEA citizens arriving in future (after Brexit) ought to be treated on par with non-EEA citizens (no free movement, they will be expected to have documentation if moving for a job, financial requirements to be met for spousal visa, that kind of thing). And it seems that Theresa May and Sajid Javid (the former and current Home Secretaries) will likely go with such a plan.Ffmuni wrote: ↑Mon Sep 10, 2018 7:21 amIf by no ‘legal basis to treat them differently’ than any other group, he means that the current legal status for EU citizens ceases with no replacement rights to be here being granted en masse; then what would be the position of the 3+ million EU citizens currently here?

Mrs May is expected to force ministers to sign up to a tough post-Brexit system with the help of Sajid Javid, the home secretary.

The migration scheme after Britain leaves is likely to end preferential access for EU citizens and could subject non-EU citizens to equal restrictions. It could involve visas for EU citizens who want to live in Britain.
…
Mrs May and Mr Javid are united in a desire for a global migration scheme despite doubts among some c abinet colleagues, including Philip Hammond, the chancellor, and Greg Clark, the business secretary.
Senior Whitehall figures anticipate a stand-off and any announcement could yet be delayed.

The details are still to be agreed by the government, although a tough system could result in anyone from the EU who wants to live in Britain for more than six months needing a visa.

Guess what impact Brexit has on an EU national with a PR card. Yeap. Zilch. Nada.
