Migrant workers have to endure harsh and improper treatment overseas. They do "dirty, dangerous, and difficult" jobs that others would not want to do. States goverments in these countries that help export labors have created agencies to help with the flow of labor into overseas countries and disregarding the ill-treatment of their people for the monetary benefit that the State can gain from them. A State is supposed to look out for their people and protect them from harm, however, in the case of migrant workers, the State seems to promote their people into being in harms way.
With the ill-treatment of migrant workers overseas, sometimes racist degrading treatment, why do State government not advocate more for the rights of their people? Do they not care that the treatment of their people stems from racial prejudice and that such prejudice falls on the country as a whole, or do the people in power in State government sees themselves as not part of the same people that migrant workers are part of?
