Bush's pals in Dubai replaced their slavery in 1961 with "guest worker programs". These bring in poor immigrants, truck them to labor camps out in the 110 degree desert where they have no human rights, so little different that concentration camps, then truck them to work every day and back to the camps. You left out the part about how the guest workers (not "poor immigrants", they are "guest workers" who earn some money and are then supposed to go back home - immigrants generally stay in the country they immigrate to) want to come to Dubai because it's better than the no job, no food, no opportunity in their home country. It's amazing because your description of the work situation is reasonably accurate, but nevertheless the workers come of their own volition and many attempt to stay for as long as possible. The working life you describe above sucks, but the life the "guest worker" left sucks worse - believe it or not!
