I honestly don't know if squatting should be made illegal, there are pros and cons to the arguments on both sides. What I do agree with entirely is the fact that rogues should not be allowed to benefit.
Adequate provision is a finely balanced thing. One of the problematic areas being that if all councils and local authorities are to be held on this then obviously there will be shortcomings in other areas of services which they are expected to provide.
Another problem is the desire of travellers to be nomadic and not tied to any one place or demographic. The points that Xaccers makes are quite pertinent to this.
