There is always an initial over reaction when a big change happens, but it doesn't always indicate a trend or future economic direction. When the Soviet Union collapsed, many commodities took a big hit and economies all over Europe and Asia were affected for a while. In the long run, not too many people outside of Russian nationalists would argue it wasn't for the best.
The "remain" side pushing doom and gloom scenarios is as much to blame as anything as it is in their best interest to void the results of the democratic referendum. They want to scare people into changing their minds.
It is unfortunate that a handful of racists stole attention away from the other issues. Immigration control is a logical and sensible mechanism to apply. I think we would all agree that you wouldn't want 6 billion people moving to Canada as the country would never survive. That's obviously an exaggeration of what is happening in Europe, but the principle is the same. It's not fair for foreign governments to dictate immigration quotas to countries struggling to absorb them.
