So the deadbeat often won’t see much benefit from working, but at least the employer will be able to fill the job openings. Could certainly use some of that here.

Really?!

Would you want a couple of surly Third Worlders working as, e.g., domestics in your household?

I bet that you'd have an inordinate amount of china-breakage their first week.

Not worth it.

LOL!, I’m with you there. But most of those ‘domestic workers’ are underground, so they’re not a factor (and most are women who don’t want to cause trouble). I was thinking more in line for the kind of work we use Hispanics for here...doing stuff like pouring concrete or fixing cars, things too low for erudite Westerners who refuse to get their hands dirty.

Can't justly demand that someone from a Stone Age culture just start working in a First World country. What demand? They just showed up waving Europe's "help wanted" sign. If they can't hold up their end of the deal they can exercise their one bit of proven competence: crossing the Med, in reverse. Without the support of Italian taxpayers they'll find it much more affordable on its other, "stone age," side.

There was an effort off and on to do this in the US. Workfare, etc.

When Obama came in, one government bureaucrat recalled in an interview (sorry, can’t pinpoint this): “We got the research done on the thousands of benefits claims and I said we are ready to match them with job offers and job training. The boss said, whoa, hold on, President Obama told us to totally stop the job stuff. Just process the benefits from now on.”
