no one is illegal - nations are a means of ruling class control! what is going on in US-backed Saudi Arabia is happening in US-backed Greece and in US-backed Egypt and US-backed Israel, as well as the United States itself! solidarity to all who resist! Authorities this year said they would no longer ignore foreign workers breaking visa rules by working for companies that had not sponsored their entry into the country The intention is to end a black market for cheap imported workers, cut the foreign labour force, reduce the flow of remittances to other countries and make more private sector jobs available for Saudi citizens. Foreigners were given a seven-month amnesty to rectify their visa status without penalty or leave the country, prompting hundreds of thousands to leave. Thousands more have been arrested since the amnesty expired on Monday. On Wednesday, an Ethiopian was killed in a raid after he tried to grab a policemans weapon, the Arab News English-language daily reported on Friday. Many expatriate workers say they were unable to take advantage of the amnesty because of bureaucratic difficulties or disputes with their original sponsors.
