When they're too few to form an enclave, they integrate better and aren't as hostile to their Romanian countrymen, because they're forced to interact with them, so they form friendships. This animosity is mostly one sided. Our government being over-tolerant, they are allowed to have their own state funded Hungarian schools, in which they are taught revisionist history and hateful propaganda. In my opinion, while taking away this right may cause outrage among them, it will better our relations in the long term.
