I think society would adjust, eventually. In fact, not only would opportunities become "available" for welfare recipents, but we have a huge, idle prison population perfectly capable of picking crops.

Things would probably suck for about ten years, until programs got established that dealt with the transition. Prices on certain things probably would skyrocket.

It would require a fairly substantial committment to government and business regulation...(and I can already sense the reaction to that!)
