HaHa.
People do what they have to/ need to to get somewhere. There aren't always a lot of choices for them. That doesn't make it ok for another party to exploit their situation. Now we could say that investment bankers working 16 hrs a day are also exploited, and we could say that EK cabin crew not given comprehensive medical insurance are being exploited. I'm not trying to take sides or even compare those two instances, just pointing out that things aren't so cut and dry.
And, the UAE wouldn't be where it is today without all the expats who built it. Yes, it gave them something in return, and that's why they are there, but it's not as simple as leave if you don't like it.
