It will age very well. Successful countries that behave otherwise don't stay successful for that long. If a country doesn't put its interests first, who will?
Broadly controlling human migration at the border is a relatively recent thing (as in, just over a century). Taking US as an example where this sort of thing is a controversial political topic today - in most of the 19th century, if you had access to any means of transportation necessary to get there (including walking across the border from, say, Mexico or Canada), that was all you needed to become a legal resident. Yet the country did just fine.
So it's not at all a given that the current system with tightly regulated borders, visas, conditions of residence etc will still be in place in 100 years.

Neither of us will see that, and it would take something very drastic to change how the humans behaved for millennia.
