They do/did all kinds of dirty tricks to maximize the cash they can get from the state. That's the dirtiest for sure.
They also give/gave their kids into state care and then adopted by some relatives (who lives next door anyway) because for every kid the adoptive parents can/could get a nice sum last time I heard about it it was very close to the minimum wage[spoiler] for every [spoiler]for 4 kids they could almost get minimum wage * 4 per month.
I don't know the most recent regulations so this is why I write in present/past tense.

Very true. To both case, immigration and Gypsies. We can let migrants in or erect fences to stop them as much we want it won't solve anything.
I'm not sure what would be the best in the case of Gypsies. For my heart, I would really just deport them. Push them out of the borders and force them to go wherever they want. Once a bunch of them went to Strasbourg to cry how oppressed they are on the Hungary. They stayed there but after a bunch of theft and cons they were sent back with the first train... But I really would let the westerners get them and enjoy their colorful and rich culture.
However this isn't really a solution. Maybe integration could work for some degree but what I have in mind on that front - serious segregation, selection, regulation of having children (basically eugenics), strict education, forced labour, clean life etc - the sensitive liberal heart couldn't handle. Also could take a few generations.
