However, since the French and Belgian terror attacks of 2015 and 2016, these checks have become much more common.
The 2016 decision of the UK to leave the EU has led to further complications regarding EU migration policy. The support for the decision to leave was heavily influenced by negative views towards immigration in Britain. However, EU migrants tend to be young and highly skilled and contribute greatly to public finances in the UK. These migrants are necessary in order to fill labour deficits and provide the necessary skills for a variety of industries. In order to ensure a sufficient workforce, the UK will need to come to agreement regarding the movement of EU workers.

3.6 Ethnic, Religious and
Racial Issues of Migration The most notable impact of migration is that it mixes together people of different cultures. Unfortunately, this mixing does not always occur peacefully: tensions may develop between migrants and resident populations. As migrants arrive from other countries, they bring their culture with them. Often these cultures are very different from the cultures and traditions of the host country. These differences have the potential to cause conflict between both groups.
Although migration has the ability to makes its host country more multicultural, some residents may feel overwhelmed by the changes to their society, while migrants must deal with the pressure of learning a new language, customs and social interactions. Therefore, the potential for misunderstanding is high. In order to prevent issues arising, both education and tolerance are needed. Different approaches may be taken to cultural difference. It has been observed that Ireland uses the ‘melting pot’ approach, whereby migrants are integrated into Irish culture; while Britain uses the ‘salad bowl’ or multicultural approach, where migrants keep their own cultures and traditions.
Ethnic Issues
