This paper argues that Saudi Arabia may need expatriate professionals, business people, and house servants, but instead of
treating them as humans who have the right to practice their religion or to have a social life, it persecutes and abuses them. Even the treatment it offers the uppe- class
expatriate group is unsatisfactory, as they are virtually locked up, in addition to running the risk of arrest for false charges of prostitution if they socialize. The lower class of
expatriates is also completely vulnerable. The paper argues that a high income might be a strong motivation for many to look for employment in Saudi Arabia, but the treatment and the risky consequences of doing so are too high. The paper concludes that all groups of expatriates, Arabs, Africans, Asians, and Westerners, should be detracted from employment in Saudi Arabia until the attitudes towards foreigners, which lead to exclusion from society and abuse, changes dramatically.
