I think the obvious solution is to not let them receive social assistance... they've done nothing to deserve it, after all.
It doesn't, but the truth is that it is often notoriously difficult for a immigrant, even with years and years of experience in their field to find a job. My family knows a few people with MSc's and PhD's that has had to work minimum wage for months, even years, before finally finding a job in technical areas they have spent years working in previously.
