Egyptian expatriates in Kuwait are feeling wary after Kuwait's parliament proposed a draft law that would reduce the number of foreign workers in order to preserve the demographics of the country. Kuwaiti citizens are currently a minority in their country.
The proposal was presented by parliament member Badr al-Mulla, who said in televised remarks on May 27 that the draft law not only addresses how Kuwaiti citizens feel about being a minority in their own country, but it also adjusts the percentage of nationalities so that each nationality does not exceed a certain percentage as determined by the proposed law.
