The notion of a no-deal Brexit triggering free movement block for European Union (EU) nationals has prompted confusion and anxiety.<\/b>
\nConfusion has emerged because EU citizens living in the UK are uncertain about what will happen next.\u00a0<\/span>
\nSome of the concerns they have aired include being victims of aggressive policies. The UK is expected to leave the European Union <\/b>without a consensus<\/b><\/a> in October.\u00a0<\/b>
\nThe fate of EU citizens is, however, uncertain if this move is made even though they are presently allowed to work and live freely in the United Kingdom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

EU citizens\u2019 future uncertain<\/b><\/h2>\n

Theoretically, EU nationals\u2019 rights ought to be respected if they hold permanent residency in the United Kingdom. Nevertheless, free movement is in jeopardy if the <\/b>transition session<\/b><\/a> stipulated by Theresa May\u2019s government is not followed.\u00a0<\/b>
\nAs a result, more than two million (2.6M) EU citizens who have not applied for settled status could be acknowledged as being in the UK illegally.\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe ideology of curtailing free movement for EU citizens on October 31 if no deal is crafted is reckless.\u00a0<\/span>
\nAccording to Nicolas Hatton, a member of the EU nationals group, the notion of ending their movement overnight denies them their legitimate rights is absurd.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

EU citizens\u2019 concerns<\/b><\/h2>\n

A <\/b>leaked inner government discussion paper<\/b><\/a> instigated the worries depicted by EU nationals. Warnings of a strict cut-off date have been circulating.\u00a0<\/b>
\nSince March 2019, at least one million (1M) EU citizens have been prosperous in applying for settled status. As a result, they are permitted to dwell in the United Kingdom even if Brexit happens.\u00a0<\/span>
\nNevertheless, those who have not applied are concerned and uncertain about their future employment and residence.\u00a0<\/b>
\nMoreover, they are worried about how they will prove their liberties to live in the United Kingdom once they travel abroad.\u00a0<\/span>
\nAccording to Imix spokeswoman, Stepanie Dawoud, fear is prevailing because it is unknown whether legitimate EU citizens will face a hostile environment in the United Kingdom.\u00a0<\/b>
\nShe also affirmed that no structure had been introduced to differentiate the newcomers and those who have been residing in the United Kingdom before Brexit.\u00a0<\/span>
\nEU citizens <\/b>using iPhones<\/b><\/a> have experienced a hitch because the digital application procedure is yet to be availed., though this problem is expected to have been settled by year-end.\u00a0<\/b>
\nThe free movement uncertainty has jeopardized many EU citizens as their future remains unknown.<\/span>
\nThe Brexit issue has instigated concerns across many sectors. For instance, <\/span>Erasmus students in the UK<\/span><\/a> are feeling threatened by Brexit. Additionally, it will <\/span>hurt language learning<\/span><\/a> across the United Kingdom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
