> Roma from Romania are not illegitimate. They are free to move across Europe.

Note that freedom of movevement inside EU/EEA is not unrestricted (like, say, inside USA), see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens%27_Rights_Directive :

> To be fully covered by the European right of free movement, the EEA citizen needs to exercise one of the four treaty rights:

> - working as an employee (this includes looking for work for a reasonable amount of time),

> - working as a self-employed person,

> - studying,

> - being self-sufficient or retired.

Romania isn't in Schengen so yes, they are illegitimate. But you're the only one talking about Roma here.

What should be taken into account for policy making is the interest of the country's citizens (and non-national legal residents to a lesser extent), not "begging tourists".

Freedom of movement also applies to citizens of non-Schengen EU countries.
