In theory, of course. Love that.
However, there are people who exist that should be kept out. Known terrorists and criminals should be denied entry, there are severe punishments that if we can't enact we at the very least should prohibit their return. A modern day exile. You can only confirm who a bad person is by confirming who they aren't. You need an ID to let Joshua Hamton, candy store owner, into the country but to also keep out Jeffery Epstein, kid diddler, from returning should he escape. A filter must exist but not one this strict. The only way to remove the filter would be to assimilate under a global legal system which we are centuries from obtaining.
The problem with exile, is that it doesn't actually solve the problem, it's just putting the problem somewhere else.
