Was the main issue immigration? That GIF is correct for me at least. I'm an American who doesn't know why the vote was called for. I don't know exactly how the EU operates. Were they forcing immigration on Britain or something?
I can tell you right now though: Britain is only the first country to leave.
I also know there's a difference between immigration and what Europe is going through right now. Immigration without integration doesn't have to be tolerated and in many cases shouldn't.

In terms of immigration EU only had power over the movement of Europeans, and in the case of Britain this power was very diluted. In truth much European immigration was only temporary and there isn't very much problem with Europeans intergrating into other European nations (such as Britain).
Internationally, Britain set it's own immigration rules (nothing to do with Europe really).
In p99 talk immigration WAS A BAIT AND SWITCH ISSUE!
