well, I guess they too have a serious migrant issue there. But look at it the other way,once, how the "price gouging oil industry" has created fake jobs for decades and the upcoming oil crash now upon us. When times boom the investment in slavery goes up... but what then after that, since busts always follow booms ???

supporting slavery = supporting INVASION (physical or/and economical), this scam is 5000 years old.

More than 58 percent of Qatar’s population live in what the government calls ‘labor camps,’ according to the Ministry of Development Planning and Statistics.

Some 1.4 million of the country’s 2.4 million population lived in the camps, according to an April 2015 census released on Sunday and cited by AFP.

Qatar’s population has grown to more 2.5 million since the census, reflecting the large influx of migrant workers, largely from South Asia, that have been brought in to carry out infrastructure work in the oil-rich Gulf state. In 1986, the population was just 373,000.

Qatar has developed a reputation for slave labor and inhumane conditions for its workers, particularly in the run up to the 2022 FIFA World Cup to be held in Qatar, which has seen a boom in the construction of roads, stadia and accommodation.

Just last week, 11 people died in a fire at a camp near the Saudi Arabian border, where workers were living. The workers are employed to build a resort outside Doha, which will include a Hilton hotel.

What's your point?

After retiring from Uncle Sams sea service I lived and worked in Saudi Arabia for 8 years for Lockheed. I lived in a large gated compound comprised of upwards of 300 homes. As I brought my spouse over, I had my own place that I rented from the company. Unaccompanied American employees lived 2-3 to a house depending on the number of bedrooms. Filipinos lived in the 4 bedroom houses.....2 per bedroom for a total of 8.

Every company that employs people, maintains the places where they reside. Are these "labor camps"? It seems that each and every ethnic group specializes in certain types of labor. Afghans and Pakis build buildings, East Africans drive busses and taxis, Filipino men tend to work with Americans in the defense industry while their women work as nurses, maids and housekeepers.

From my experience in the Middle East which goes beyond just KSA, Arabs don't work. Even if they knew how they won't because the govt pays someone else to do it for them. Nice job if you can get it.

Believe me when I say that there is no "serious migrant issue". You don't come OR go without a visa, and you don't work without govt approved paperwork.

sorry, I know many people thinking like you but working for whatever form of monopoly directly is immoral. Earning a living with fed reserve notes too of course. Even though choices are very restricted under such circumstances, not acknowledging one's participation in their monopoly schemes, is basically the problem as why this evil cannot be eradicated. Anybody praising him/herself doing so, cannot understand the stakes nor can see the whole situation. Nice job, what nice job ??? That is why I left the corporate world behind and embarked on a road trip with no return.

Your example makes me think of ancient rome whose population was composed by 50% of slaves before it went down the road. I am sure that until the end "genuine roman citizens" did find completely normal to import slave labor. You really fall in this category. It is oligarchy that creates slave labor/wages.

Monopolies have doomed the world and enslaved economically and or physically all nations. Importing slave labor or leaving holes in the borders so illegals get in, is exactly the same. Visas are pointless.

Moreover, lets look at the situation today, 1% or elite vs 99% of dispossessed people, many of which are not aware of it yet.

My stance included the train of thoughts that without taking responsibility for the global state of affair will perpetuate this evil. As long as people pat themselves on the shoulders and agree that meritocracy is the rule, the NWO is here to stay. That is precisely why revolutions have all failed.

Also, taking responsibility for what is, everything, is in fact the meaning of the crucifixion allegory. If this is understood by a majority, nobody will get crucified. Many christians are at odds with their own belief.
