If a foreigner would get a position I was eager to hold in my country, I would not curse him because he or she is foreigner and got the job and not me. It just meant that his or her skills were more suitable to the job than mine, 5allas.
I know it is sad for Egyptian people to have such an unemployment rate and such difficulties to find a job, but.. should I leave and sacrifice my life because times are tough for everyone? Anywhere in the world, if I find a job I would take someone else's place. If I think like this, I will stay in my bed days and nights, so I can be sure to not hurt anyone nor take anyone's place...

I totally agree with Hurghadapat, jobs that Egyptians can do will nowadays nit be given to foreigners, regardless of your opinion of what's right or wrong.
Of course, the other issue is work permits. Work permits for foreigners are expensive for the employer. They can employ Egyptians without the hassle and cost of work permits.
A few years ago, foreigners could get away with working on a tourist visa, but the penalties are too high for employers nowadays... they just won't risk it.
