Some 10,000 illegal foreign workers have been deported in the past several months, since the beginning of the Interior Ministry campaign dealing with this matter. Immigration Police Commander Yaakov Ginat estimates that another 50,000 will leave in the year 2003 - and that no new workers will be allowed to enter. Israel is currently estimated to have some 300,000 foreign workers. The number of unemployed in Israel stands at 265,000, or 10.4% of the workforce; the number has remained steady for the past five months.
