Saudi clampdown: ‘Over 120,000 Pakistanis sent back since 2009’

[Bong]

Saudi no love for brothers

Do you have any proof of this? If that was true then your government officials and religious parties wouldnt be complaining about Saudi Arabia seeking out illegal Pakistani migrants and deporting them back home, which is what is mentioned in this article.

Sounds like you are in denial.

Trust me brother, due to corrupt officials here in National Data Base and Registration Authority (NADRA), fake ID cards in thousands were issued to many of the Afghan immigrants who are financially better than the locals due to the drug money or money earned by different "unkown" means....These immigrants are causing all sorts of problems. Its a fact that every rich Afghani has got at least one home in Pakistan. I live in a locality which is pretty much developed with all the necessary facilities, and the area is flooded with these Afghan immigrants. I know personally some of these illegal immigrants, who when failed to travel via Islamabad to Gulf on fake ID's, were able to land in Gulf via Kabul airport and they were traveling with the help of Afghan documents......perhaps now you might have an idea about the gravity of situation here....!!

There is everything wrong with illegal migration. It is unwanted and it is burdensome on other states and societies

seeking asylum is also burdensome on other states and societies....like this guy who like you is an Iranian and like you was granted asylum there

That may all be true but the over 200,000 people deported back to Pakistan in the last 4 years from multiple countries certainly are not Afghans.

Illegal immigrants.

 

[Hyperion]

What sort of illegal immigrants? In all probability unskilled labors who overstayed their work visas........ other than that, I know as a matter of fact that they are HUNGRY for doctors and engineers, specially oil sector!

Illegal immigrants.

Illegal immigrants.

Over two million Afghans and Pakistani Pathans are living in Gulf...in Dubai, Sharjah, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. They speak the same language, they have similar traditions, they have similar lifestyles and many of them have got "wives" and kids across the border and vice versa. In Dubai only almost all the taxi drivers you will find are either Pashtoons or Afghans.....

 

[Dubious]

123, 527 illegal immigrants from Pakistan since 2009

So someone wants to take a collective data of 5 yrs and coz in 5yrs the no. is big so it is something to thump chest abt?


Well, in the same 5 yrs can you please pull out the stats for ANY other national getting deported?

BTW, a clampdown doesnt last 5 yrs!

 

[Hyperion]

Dude, 200,000 being deported is nothing. Imagine yourselves, not being able to even LEAVE the geographical boundries of Iran, being labelled terrorists in every world forum for better part of past three decades......... let's not forget, being whooped by every nation that wishes to.

Spare me your self righteous crap about "scientific" progress and rising Iran. We know where you stand, or rather are buried in the history books!

Welcome arrival? You call well over 200,000 Pakistanis being deported back home within the past 4 to 5 years from multiple countries a welcome arrival?

Dont be a fool.

You just blew his arguments to pieces.

Is the reason for you making this thread is that you want Pakistanis to not overstay their work visas/illegal entry in the Arab world (which I’m surprised an Iranian would care so much about) or is their another reason that I’m totally missing?

So are you saying that illegal Pakistani migration to the Middle East is mainly a Pashtun phenomenon? Because the reports about illegal migration from Pakistan to Greece say that most of them come from a place called Gujrat and are not Pashtuns/Afghans, they are Pakistani nationals native to that area.

I was somewhat shocked at the number of illegals to be deported on average daily at the Iranian border with Pakistan, and just the number of Global illegals from Pakistan in general, which in this report is not even a complete picture. I also find it amazing that Pakistani government officials and religious figures would complain that their illegal migrants are deported back home. I mean, WTF?

Was it Pakistan vs someone ?? No it wasn't.

this thread has nothing to do with iran , but since u asked :

The image of Iran's economy as oil, carpets, and pistachios was always flawed, but has now become badly dated. The Islamic Republic is in the midst of a non-oil export boom -- it has the potential to remain a middle-income country even with no oil exports, and the reserves to finance the transition in the meantime. For years, Iran's leaders called for reduced reliance on oil but did little to meet that goal. Western sanctions have seemingly spurred them to action -- in his annual Nowruz address on March 21, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei acknowledged for the first time that restrictions on the country's oil exports had made a serious impact: "The sanctions have had an effect, which is because of an essential flaw that we are suffering from. The flaw that our economy is suffering from is that it is dependent on oil." He also acknowledged that Iran's "economic weakness" had led to "harsh conditions for certain groups of people." Rather than change Iranian nuclear policy, however, he argued, "We can turn every threat into an opportunity...The sanctions caused the massive domestic capacities of the Iranian nation to become activated

Iran Beyond Oil? - The Washington Institute for Near East Policy

its 57 billion freaking dollars worth in cash .......

comparison u want ? here u go :

Pakistan - Export value index (2000 = 100) - Country Comparison

According to your own sources Iran's non oil export in FY 2012-13 was $34 billion dollar while Pakistan's non oil export around the same FY was estimated between $25-27 Billion.

Pakistan is a net importer of crude and has seen a decade long war and an energy shortfall. In the contrast, Iran is independant in energy production and its revenue from hydrocarbons is the main source of net captial investment in the non oil sector SMEs.

Iran's NGDP is $368 billion, developing at 1-1.7% a year, while Pakistan's NGDP is $236.6 Billion with a revised GDP growth of 6.1% in 2013. This doesn't include Pakistan's black untaxed economy, which is estimated to be 30% of NGDP. Pakistan's economic GDP on PPP index was almost $800 billion in 2011 which is now edging close to a trillion dollars which is almost the same as Iran. Pakistan will be among the G20 by its 100th birthday so i fail to see your false pride.
