Normal citizen is IMPOSSIBLE to cross european borders without a passport. It is supposed that EU members can pass borders by just showing their ID, but in many cases this doesn't really apply.

My husband was in the military for over 5 years. He was stationed in Germany. We arrived to Germany thru the airforce...didn't need passports there...but we had them.
We traveled all of Europe. Out of all the countries we traveled, we had to show passports when we were in Calais, about to take the ferry to Dover. When we arrived to Dover, they waved us in like nothing. Other then that, no problem. I have also traveled to many countries, where you show the U.S. passport, they barely look at it and wave you by......
Before my husband join the military, he traveled with his countries passport . He needed visas for France, Spain, & England.
And to answer the thread question...I wasn't born In the U.S., but I like the U.S., and I like the people, and accommodations that this country offers people....basically Americans are nortured & spoiled....I like that a lot!
