That would be most logical, however, when talking about immigration it
just turns an "outer" barrier (=border checks) into an "inner" one (=who
is granted citizenship?).

Nope, and the EU expansion accompanied my all the intra-community "free
movement" laws is a pain in the backside of the more developed countries
for a reason: while the "freedom of movement" is ensured by European
law, the local differences both in economical development and in
legislation (most importantly, labor legislation) is not synchronized,
which leads to enormous arbitrage opportunities.

Best,
Boris
