I think you could find statistic to support any of those viewpoints, and probably to refute them as well.
The problem I find with the immigration argument is that, the immigration itself is something that has been happening to a greater or lesser degree over the millennia to the British isles. That's something of historical and archeological fact. It's an even more laughable argument when applied to the United States.
As an aside; one of my friends did one of those genetic tests that reported that they were 10% Viking. Putting aside that the accuracy of such tests is highly questionable, but where exactly do they think the Viking genetic material came from?
I believe that globalisation instead is actually one of the main drivers behind people vote for Britexit, but I would argue that leaving the EU isn't actually the solution. Yes, one fix would be to race to the bottom where UK based people become cheaper and thus there is an inflow. But I don't feel that would be actually beneficial to UK society as a whole.
