Bedoon

Me : What is your nationality?
Him : ...
Him : I am not a normal people. I am a bedoon. I am born here but I have no passport.
Me : What you talking about?
Him : I grandparents was here many years ago, may be the King is too busy with other things, they just don't care about us.
ME : ....

I googled "bedoon" to find that it actually means a man without a nationality, a man belong to no country. They are not illegal resident but are denied of citizenship. Can you imagine a family of 3 generations by now, living like ghosts, no documents about their existence?
