Um, not quite that simple Charles...if labor was globalized, that is, if labor could flow freely across borders (as Capital does) to wherever demand existed, you might eliminate wage price arbitrage, but only at the expense of replacing it with regulatory arbitrage.

That is: what few localized comparative advantages labor still has are tied to the inability of Capital to import labor to preferable geographic locations.

You can't unfetter labor movements until you have a common market with a common regulatory infrastructure and relatively comparable living standards. The EU or the US...certainly Germany is better than Greece, and Washington is better than Mississippi, but they are all vastly better than say Chindia.

The labor policy is to correct the status of illegal workers, who smuggled into the country, rather than deporting legal, legitimate, documented foreign workers. This is a big difference. Those illegal workers have proved to be imminent danger to the society.

For years, Ethiopians have been engaging in criminal acts, ranging from slaughtering infants and the elderly, to sexual harassment and molestation of women and children, rape, kidnapping, to armed robberies and other heinous crimes. By doing so, they are showing contempt to the authority and the people of Saudi Arabia, in addition to threatening the safety of the physical being of locals and legal foreigners alike.
