"Witholding wages, overtime without pay, etc. etc. are extremely common. What's a worker to do?"

Those are at least LEGAL immigrant workers in Dubai. Here, they're often illegal. Many of them often aren't paid AT ALL for their final check - who're they going to complain to? If THEY riot, they all get deported to Mexico.


Actually, they protested, and in a couple of cases, it got violent, waved the Mexican flag and nothing happened to them.
