If that immigrant comes from outside the EU then you are right, but countries inside the EU have no control over who comes into and works within their borders from other EU members, the only caveat to this are people with severe criminal records eg rapists, murderers.
The argument the French government put forward for getting rid of the Roma is that other EU countries should not be able to unload their social problems on other members.
Regarding the Roma the sights we have seen from France with them being removed maybe unpleasant indeed, and sadly the Roma do make themselves a very easy target the way they choose to live, but in all honesty I cannot see any EU country in a rush to welcome them, it seems to me its up to the Bulgarian and Romanian governments to step up to the plate concerning their citizens not just turn a blind eye a give a sigh of relief as they leave the country to set-up camps over western Europe.
