People in the EU are used to free movement. In my opinion it's one of the greatest political accomplishments of recent history.
Before Schengen, travelling across the border always carried the risk of meeting a grumpy border control agent and being subjected to abusive searches or interrogations. People not letting you past the border because they didn't find the right stamp in your passport and stuff like that.
After Schengen, all that went away and travelling within Europe has become so much nicer.
Of course people complain if you take that away again.
