Their definition includes "Foreign workers", aka kafala. These people live in the country to work and accrue money for their families back home while they live in compounds and rarely directly interact with the host population.
The host countries are largely empty husks which have very unproductive labour. They offset the productivity gap with oil revenues to bring in cheap labour keeping their quality of life higher.
And yes, big IMHO to everything I said. I don't carry source in my back pocket.

The "cuban ex-pat" scenario, so to speak. Working class immigration is still immigration in general.
