Saudi arabia also has hordes of immigrants from afghanistan, Pakistan, and other extremist regions home to al qaeda.

They need to use some sense there as well. They are not only home to al qaeda but they are also getting people mostly from regions where al qaeda is very strong.

an economy that relies heavily on foreign labor to do everything from running giant oil projects to sweeping the streets

Because the natives are too busy blowing things up?

Many great high paying jobs in Saudi.

I wouldn't recommend it.

The Saudis think any kind of work, other than studying the Koran, is "degrading." I read in the NYTimes shortly after September 11, 2001, that even those Arabs who send their sons to engineering schools in the USA don't consider it that "honorable" or exalted a profession. Work is for slaves, captives, dhimmis, hired hands.

IMO, every foreigner in Saudi Arabia should leave tomorrow. Let them empty their own night jars for a change.
