Saudi Arabia kicking out "illegal" workers who paid Saudis big money for "sponsorships"

Saudi Arabia, after sucking dry the underpaid foreign workers, labels them "illegal" and then has the gall to tell the workers they can take "advantage of an amnesty"  that will allow them to return home without prosecution.  This is the country Canada accepts as our partner in  crime NATO.

The reason why almost two million illegals are in the country is because the greedy Saudi citizens sell "sponsorships"  to the poor in the Asian countries and when those people arrive in that hellhole thinking they have a job,  they get a nasty shock.  The sponsor does not have a job and you are left on your own to seek work and more often than not find yourself at the mercy of other Saudis who will pay you peanuts to work as a slave and the illegals are left with no alternative but to accept any kind of work in order to make money to pay off the loans they took to buy the "sponsorship"  or to buy a ticket home. According to the Saudi govt,  one has to work for the person who "sponsors" you and nowhere else ... thus making all the "sponsorships sans jobs" workers illegal.  Nice scam to get slaves to keep coming to the hellhole, isn't it?  The poor and the desperate always get the short end of the stick from these foul arabs.

Illegal foreign workers in Saudi Arabia, mostly Asians, are in a race against time to take advantage of an amnesty ending Wednesday that would allow them to stay or return home without prosecution.

King Abdullah announced the amnesty on April 3, granting foreign workers three months to regularise their residency or leave the oil-rich Gulf monarchy to avoid being blacklisted or jailed and fined.

More than 1.5 million illegal foreign workers came forward during the first two months of the amnesty, the labour ministry said.
It did not say how many illegal foreign workers currently live in the kingdom, but the number is reported to be around two million.

Of these, some 180,000 have left in addition to more than 200,000 unregistered workers expelled at the start of the year under new regulations to stamp out illegal immigration.
Many workers are still queueing outside their embassies to obtain documents to either leave Saudi Arabia or legalise their status before Wednesday.
As in most Gulf states, foreigners in Saudi Arabia need to be sponsored by a local business to obtain entry and work permits.
Foreigners desperate to work in the country are willing to pay for sponsorship, and sponsoring expatriates has become a lucrative business for some Saudis.

But under the new rules workers can be employed only by their own sponsors.......
