Spain are experiencing the same influx of EU Nationals who have no work.
Vagrancy laws in Spain are such that if you can't support yourself...go home....That applies to all Nationalities.
That seems quiet reasonable to me. I would expect to do the same if I moved abroad.
It sounds like the Spansih are a bit more open minded than some of those in the country.
I can see the sense of 'if you cant keep yourself, get out'. If only it was applied accross the board in this country the tax payers burden would suddenly decrease, and I do mean with the indigenous population as well.
