They'll go on unemployment comp until they find a job comparable to the one they lost. 

I might ass that there are many undocumented workers entering the country from Europe and other parts of the world who pose just as serious a problem as aliens from Latin America countries. 

They usually work at the more choice jobs that domestic workers would be happy to have. 

I don't have any pat answers to the problem but I do know that the U.X., which represents six percent of the owrld's population, and yet controls over 60 percent of the world's resources, has to re-examine its foreign policy as well as its immigration policy, in rewpect to its moral obligation to the rest of the world.

As long as this coutry represents a beacon of hope for a better life for millions of people, they will risk violating any law to live like a human being has a right to live. 

It is ironic that after World War II we are able to gear up a Marshall Plan to reconstruct former enemy countries but out friends and allies to the wouth of us are victimized by our esploitative good-neighbor policy. 

I think a first step towards a solution would be to grant all undocumented workers amnesty from deportation.
