They have no right to stay \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tin France. This statement is incorrect because most European countries now are \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmembers of the Schengen area and Rroma are entitled as citizen of these \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcountries to make use of the free migration policy. 2. The Rroma love to live \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tin slums. Wrong, poor Rroma live in informal settlements in the suburbs because \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tof lack of alternatives. This has nothing to do with their identity. 3. The \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRroma are nomads. Also wrong. The Rroma are forced by evictions to change their \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tlocation. The majority of the Rroma are sedentary. 4. They only want to live amongst \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttheir own clan. Wrong, the Roma live in family groups to be able to help each \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tother and to master their often precarious living conditions. 5. Rroma do not \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twant to work. Wrong, the Rroma are working as hard as other people. However, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttheir access to the labour market is still very restricted. Institutional \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tracism against the Rroma is still prevalent in many European countries. 6. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRroma prefer to beg. Also wrong. Due to the precarious economic situation of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmany immigrant Rroma and lack of alternatives many are forced to beg. 7. Rroma \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdo not want to send their children to school. Wrong, often complicated \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tregulations do prevent the enrolment of young Rroma. The regular evictions hinder \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tan undisturbed schooling. 8. The Rroma are carriers of disease and bring \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdiseases to France. Wrong, the precarious hygienic conditions in the informal \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcamps and poor access to health care make immigrant Rroma susceptible to \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdisease. 9. The Rroma are social parasites and exploit the French welfare state. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAlso wrong, most foreign Rroma have very poor access to public institutions (Romeurope \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2014).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Romeurope (2014) Les roms: \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tluttons contre les id\u00e9es re\u00e7ues.
