No EU citizen can be ordered to leave before Friday, no matter what their status.

Actually, technically it is possible. And it's that that had many asking "if this is all about keeping people out, why don't you apply the Schengen rules as described instead of going the whole hog".

Tony Blair opted *not* to implement the rules (which other countries also apply when applying for state benefits etc) when he came to office in the nineties. They were successfully used to restrict the panicked "OMG we're going to be overrun by the Romanian and Bulgarian hordes!" never-happened mass migration of said Romanians and Bulgarians post-EU-accession, and they could've been applied to everyone else in the EU. Except... well... we're now leaving, so...
