I dont know about the British welfaresystem but the German one has a thing called workrequirement. If unemployed yet demanding services from the state provided welfaresystem one has to accept a job offer provided by the jobagency within 3 years. If one doesnt, one drops out of the welfaresystem.
+ whilest travel within the EU is no longer bound to visa, working, studying and residency is.
Dont know about other countries but one can only spend 2 months in Germany without visa, after that one is deported.
In the article it is mentioned that Cameron proposes to cut welfare for non EU citizens, I really dont know how this is meant to have any effect. Since I guess most illegals will be deported like everywhere else. And healthcare? as far as I know the bill for healthcare costs is sent to the insurance company or social healthcare system of the persons origin. I know this cause my brother got hospitalised in Spain and the bill was sent to the embessey.
I think this has mainly become an issue in politics because of upcoming elections and because populism.
Kind of like how antisemitism rises everytime theres a crisis.
