Maybe someday the US "guest worker" program will make us like the UAE, where no matter how many "citizens" can vote, guest workers comprise about 80% of the workforce in the country.
In fact, EVERY country in the world with a large guest worker program is now, or is quickly becoming, politically and socially dysfunctional.
The UAE has the advantage that its dictatorial rulers can refuse, with impunity, to make any adjustments for how little of the population in the nation has any actual stake in the nation.
Their second class foreign work force comes from such impoverished situations and works under such conditions of near economic servitude (employers keep the passport until the term of the contract is completed), that together with their security controls in the nation, there is little chance of rebellion by what is quickly becoming a disenfranchised majority.
UAE is a "company" and a country. The "corporations" and the capital are adjuncts of the accounts of the ruling family and the national government accounts, of which there is often little true distinction. No matter how many "companies" are created (like UAE World Ports), they all lead back to the ruling family which is, financially the country. It is undertandable, given their actual structure, that they would consider a truely democratic majority an apostasy. But, it fits with everything else that has not changed in the Middle East since the 7th century.
