Concerning, the mistreatment of migrant laborers and human trafficking in the

Middle East,

Bearing in mind, the many of these migrant labors flee their motherland, and make
up a large population in the Middle Eastern countries,

Further recalling, The Amnesty International’s failed efforts to establish an office in

the Middle East,

Keeping in mind, the long hours of labor they dedicate in exchange for low wages,

Declaring, without the contribution of migrant labor, the output of goods and
services would decrease substantially

Emphasizing, the impact these migrant laborers have on our economy, and the
collapse it will suffer from, without them,

Noting with deep concern, the 1,200 deaths of migrant workers in Qatar, due to their
hazardous working conditions,
