It’s OK to acknowledge that economic migrants are a thing, and that they likely have only transactional interest in where they live, such as a Bengali construction worker in Dubai, for example.

While the official process is "electing," the "hired" analogy is frequently used to highlight accountability, public service, and temporary, contractual-like tenure"
Just go look it up, and educate yourself.
But this pointless internet interaction is over.
