Campaigners to get Britain out of the European Union promised to implement a points-based immigration policy to limit the number of people entering the U.K. if the country votes to leave the bloc in this month’s referendum.
With the June 23 vote just three weeks away, the “Leave” campaign is focusing its fire on immigration, the area where polls show it has an advantage. The “Remain” camp is sticking to its own strong area, the economy, with a warning that a so-called Brexit would endanger 107,000 manufacturing jobs.
