Schengen zone is a neat idea, not needing authorization to live and work in any of those countries. But the EU w/ respect to non EU countries of course doesn't have that and they restrict or allow immigration based on their internal labor needs.
Open borders is ideal, but it's understandable to have an intake process or some kind of documentation required, otherwise you might have saboteurs like those goons that tried to invade venezuela to do some terrorist attacks and got caught by some fishermen a few months ago.
Schengen is used mainly by the richer countries such as UK, Germany etc to get cheap workers from Eastern Europe, and replace the expensive local workers. For example, a lot of truck drivers or bus drivers in Germany are from Eastern Europe.
