In Najran region in order to make Shia Ismailis, also known as Sulaimani Bohras, a minority Saudi Arabia naturalized tens of thousands of Sunni Yeminis.
The Ismailis of Najran: Second-class Saudi Citizens: VI. Official Attacks on Ismaili Ethnic and Religious Identity
Najran's Shia Ismailis’ most acute concern at present is the naturalization of tens of thousands of Yemenis who have migrated into the Najran area at various times as refugees from southern Yemen, fleeing political persecution under the authoritarian leftist government of the former People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen. These refugees often share the Wahhabi religious thought that prevails in Saudi Arabia and have found jobs as teachers and judges in Najran. Their naturalization affects the demographic composition of the region, where Ismailis presently constitute a large majority.
128 Viewed alongside existing discrimination and the forced transfers of Ismaili officials out of the province, the influx and perceived favored treatment of naturalized Yemenis lead Ismailis to fear that continued naturalizations threaten their ethnic and religious identity and the future of the spiritual capital of Sulaimani Ismailism.
Shia Ismailis in the ancient Najran province are the majority of the province and the main tribe there is the ancient Bani Yam tribe which is majority Shia Ismaili. There is nothing called second-class citizens in KSA. Every citizen in KSA has the exact same rights.
We don't have castes in KSA.
In KSA there is a big Hadhrami diaspora and many of them have been neutralized because their ancestors arrived to KSA many, many decades ago some as early as 150 years ago. The numbers are/were not big anyway. I know for a fact that many of those Yemenis that were neutralized were people who either once lived in KSA themselves for years or had ancestors who lived in KSA, mainly the coastal cities of Hijaz (Jeddah being a major hub for they community).
Hadhrami people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The same Hadhrami people of Southern and East-Central Yemen have migrated for centuries upon centuries to Eastern Africa (Swahili coastline - itself an Arabic word), South Asia and especially South East Asia. The majority of the 10-15 million people of Arab descend in South Asia (Indonesia and Malaysia especially) are originally Hadhrami Arabs.
Your likes have been brainwashed into believing that Shias are murdered in KSA which is total bogus. Saudi Arabian Shia Arabs are mostly very well off (especially those in the Eastern Province) and many work for Aramco, major Saudi Arabian firms and many famous business families in KSA are Shia Twelvers.
Shia's have their own mosques, schools, Imams and even own Shari'ah law interpretations. They are also allowed to participate in all Shia Muslim festivals openly.

So much false nonsense bogus is spread about KSA here on PDF and elsewhere on the internet and the funny thing is that most of it is pure nonsense written by people who have never even been to KSA in the first place and do not know the country well.
For instance you claimed that no foreigner can receive citizenship in KSA earlier in this thread which is an outright lie. You are supposed to be a Muslim and every Muslim should at least know the basics of Arabia so no wonder that Indians and others think that South Asians are eaten for breakfast in KSA and that everyone is Osama Bin Laden (a person that was only born in KSA - his father was Yemeni and mother Syrian).
I have noticed that you are driven by hatred of KSA but maybe you should think twice and turn your attention to the House of Saud if you have a problem with them (1 family out of millions in Arabia) instead of spreading hatred/nonsense about Arabia and Arabians.
