What backups your claim ? The same online articles ? Have you had first hand experience of the same ? I have lived in both countries and have experienced personally what does it take to live as an H1B worker as well as in Dubai on a work permit visa.

Most of the western media articles that you read are very biased and westerners seems kind of jealous of oil rich countries developing at a faster pace than theirs. Western media reports the incidents in an exaggerated manner when it comes to middle east nations.

If women are not allowed to drive a car in Saudi Arabia, Nor are H1B dependents (H4) spouses allowed to work in the US. They are not allowed to have a SSN or a bank account. So what makes US any different ? Isn't just slavery in another form towards the migrant workers no matter in which country they work ?

They differ in their degree of rapaciousness. The formation of a second-tier working permit system disadvantages both citizen labor and the permitted workers themselves. Slavery involves forced bondage and lack of choice. I agree with you that there is a disadvantage, but you can't just slap the label on any system. H1B laborers make median wage and can come and go at their leisure.

Fascism can sure look pretty from the outside.
