Relying just on external borders to provide security is not a good idea as the security provided by different countries varies in quality putting the whole Schengen area at risk.
This was demonstrated by the invasion of Greece and Italy by Syrian refugees, who were allowed through various EU countries without the necessary registrations and checks being made.
