Gulf barbarians ? dude have you even been to the gulf the asian workers get free rent and free food can they get even half that than in india or pakistan you must be joking if you think so.

they will never leave the money they get is way better than at home.

I have lived in the Gulf for 4 years and have interacted with a lot of those “migrant workers”. The only thing that keeps them in the Gulf is the money and even that is sometimes not given to them on time. Other than that they live under deplorable conditions, have to work on constructions sites in incredible heat for inhumane 16-hour-shifts and have no social life apart from work and sleep. It’s not like they are getting “free rent and free food” for nothing. These guys are physical wrecks after 3 to 4 years of doing this kind of work.
