Theresa May was the sole cabinet minister to block a unilateral offer to EU citizens that they could remain in Britain in the days following the referendum, according to an editorial in the London Evening Standard.
The paper, edited by former chancellor George Osborne, reports that David Cameron had prepared an offer to give EU citizens certainty in the days following the referendum result last June.
Cameron had already resigned and a leadership contest was under way in the Conservative party, but May and Osborne were still in post as chancellor and home secretary.
“Last June, in the days immediately after the referendum, David Cameron wanted to reassure EU citizens they would be allowed to stay,” the paper said. “All his cabinet agreed with that unilateral offer, except his home secretary, Mrs May, who insisted on blocking it.”

The thing is the government could of managed EU migration, but they thought it was a waste of time due to the tax surplus they create.

That makes it even worst because I honestly believe if this thing was paid any mind instead of just lip service, we wouldn't be where we are now. Imo it comes from a disdain for the average poor working class white people from political types.

Its funny when I lived up in the Midlands for a minute I noticed white people who done well for themselves look at them types as scum lol and alot of the flight to London has to do with getting away from them.
Similar to the way alot of the London working class has left London and surrounding areas to get away from black and brown people. The dualities lol.

Tories let it happen for tax, arguably labour let it happen because they know immgriants vote labour. Both the past governments are equally as responsible imo.
