It's not emotive and entirely bogus at all. Although I don't expect you to even remotely grasp where I'm coming from.
Up until 2015 when countries started closing their borders again it was the Schengen agreement that gave precisely that.
For years European countries and their political leaders were either too inept to foresee it or too concerned about the political fallout from even mentioning the potential consequences of uncontrolled migration from outside the EU bloc and the effect it was or would have on the social cohesion withing their respective countries.
Socially France has paid the price. Germany has paid the price. The UK has paid the price and overall Europe has paid the price.
To even broach the subject in any negative way whatsoever got you tagged as a racist, Islamophobe or both. And it still does.
Decades ago there were many on the right, and indeed a few on the left that foretold the problems that uncontrolled migration and open borders would cause and those same people also rightly foretold the problems that Europe has faced in recent years and all were decried and labelled as extremist and racist. A few even paid with their lives but all were right in what they foretold. Migration and the integration of peoples with widely differing attitudes, social histories, attitudes to accepted norms and cultures hasn't worked and never will work. That's why you see the upsurge in the popularity of far right groups across Europe. It's the inevitable backlash against the European elite that has systematically failed them for the last five or six decades.
