This is extremely sharply budgetted in a country where a roadworker or cleaner (whom the community needs to rent for maintenance and stuff) makes over 4000 euros a month. And where costs of immigrants are apparently allocated to local taxes.
That's irrelevant, if you wish to stay you have to pay your cost, the state isn't there to babysit you with taxes. It doesn't matter if you are cheap or expensive, would it make things different? It's still unethical and economically inefficient - I wouldn't be able to live being supported by other people unless I had no absolute choice.
It is fucking relevent. Evidently the state set rules in place to permit immigration and the community set rules in place to pay for needy immigrants. So the state and the community judged the cost of supporting immigration provides a return beyond immediate cashflow considerations. So it then becomes completely relevent to evaluate the magnitude of the perceived benefit against the magnitude of negative cash flow, normalized by the population over which the benefit and the cost are spread.
