"I don’t have any useful suggestions other than the observation that when Roma immigrate to countries like the USA or Australia they completely changed their culture and have been absorbed into the general population." You cannot be a Gypsie/Roma in North America! Their culture involves roaming in caravans from town to town, possibly doing bits of labour, but mostly running scams. Kids don't go to school, they live their lives as they please. In France, I saw a Roma Caravan pull up on a local farmers property my French friend indicated that if the farmer complained - he would get a physical threat on his person and property (though I am aware that property rights / routes are different in Europe). Can you imagine a caravan pulling up on a Farmer's property in rural Alabama? And threatening violence? They would be shot by the owner, or instantly run out of town by the local cop who could give a rats behind about whatever their 'cultural status' might be. The EU institutionally and systematically enables the 'Roma culture' - which is in and of itself nearly impossible to make civilized in the terms that we understand. (Not necessarily saying anything against the culture other than we don't know how to 'make it work' as the previous commenter observed) How does the EU provide for the education of Roma children as they roam through Europe? Health care? Taxation? Etc. etc.. I understand the impetus for the EU to protect culture, and also - you know - history Nazism and all that - but the cultural situation may be 'implacable'. Dissolving their cultural identity and putting them into a suburban school getting accounting degrees might be the only way we know how to 'fix the problem'. Which of course comes at the cost of cultural dissolution.
