The Times story made me smile in an ironic way.

Europeans without a job would be blocked from staying for more than a few months after March 2019, when Britain exits the EU, according to an 81-page blueprint for Britain’s future immigration system. Those arriving for longer than six months may be required to register for residence cards, including fingerprinting, it says.

We can do this right now - Germany, for instance, already do.

There are many ways to 'respect the democratic decision'. Whether handing this level of power to ministers is the right way is debatable.
For a small 'l' liberal the bill as it stands is alarming. It's an unprecedented transfer of power from Parliament to the executive. I don't trust Theresa May and her cabinet of errors to exercise such powers with basically zero oversight. She is provably incompetent and repeatedly reminds us such.
Whether it passes or not the UK leaves the EU. Opposing it is not an attempt to reverse the referendum result.
