In 1789 the US made a very conscious decision to tie free movement of labor to free movement of capital within its operating zone (probably the first ever economic agreement of its kind). The US is a union of sovereign states.

The US (other than for 8-12 years after the revolution) is a federal republic. The EU is not federal and is not a republic.

The Union of States made that mistake too in 1781.
