It's not "perception". Recent studies have shown that about half the Romanians in the Netherlands are here illegally, and most of those are criminals. And those that are here legally don't always work under legal conditions.

This royally sucks for Romanian developers that want to work here, because despite being EU members they still need a work permit. The government basically assumes that the odds of Romanians coming here with good intentions are pretty low.
