Because theres freedom of movement within the EU and we have had millions of muslim migrants that have entered the EU thanks to Germany. The only way to protect the borders is to leave the EU

The UK is not part of Schengen. There is no obligatory free movement between mainland Europe and the UK due to the EU. They're also fully entitled to refuse taking refugees. And have the same rights to check anyone coming in if they are or aren't in the Union.

 

There also haven't been "millions" coming into the UK. Muslims, yes, but perfectly legal muslims that your country accepted as legal immigrants. Again, your choice. Germany isn't forcing you to take anyone. That's a decision they made by themselves. Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of the migrants consequently landed in Germany.

Also, the refugee crisis is pretty much over, by now.

Actually Germany is trying to FORCE redistribution of migrants across the eu.
