For everyone talking about the poor South Asian migrant workers in slave-like conditions there, note that most such workers would much rather be working in developed places like the US or Europe, but the immigration policies of those countries deny them that chance. Dubai is one of the few places in the region (and the world) that makes it very easy for anyone to come there and work, regardless of their race or nationality.

I.e. those workers wouldn't be slaving away there if western countries had more liberal immigration policies.

This is an awfully positive spin on things. Dubai does not encourage actual immigration, in fact it is virtually impossible to become a citizen. What they do have, and at massive scale, is a system where local companies can bring in what is effectively indentured labor, which will be immediately kicked out once their job is done.
