Brazilian emigration to the United States is directly related to globalization, international mobility, technological revolution and domestic economy. The phenomenon presents a long-short term impact on political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological developments in Brazil.

looking for a new life,where there country has faild written by FORREST ALLEN BROWN,
August 21, 2007
in a country where the tails fo the US where money if free . housing is free . hospitals are free all you have to do is get there .
for the the first time in recored history there were less circsums in the us than ever before not that there were less babies but more are from forgin countries that dont beleive in the proess . also there were more C sections as that is the norm in third world countries as the doctors would rather just take it out than have to set till its ready .
more women from other countries are having children than native born people as the general population of the US is shrinking the forgin are growing at a rate the rats cant keeep up with , putting a strain on all the social wellfare systems of the US and taxing the workers to the point of them starting to retire and get out of the country and leave it to the freeloaders and the goverment that does not want to do any thing about it
what we are looking at is in a few years it will be like a bird island starts out very beatuiful and after a few years the over taxing of the system begins to drain down all till soon the place is dead to all and what is left is only a dead island and the birds start looking for another place to light

Adolescents, brought to America feel out of place, missing friends, family, the beach, and free entertainment that Brazil offers.
Yeah, the U.S. only has 7,600 miles of coastline, nearly double Brazil, one can see how a brazilian in the U.S. would miss the beach. And "free" entertainment? I guess they mean those guys at the stop lights juggling and twirling sticks!

Historical View on Immigration in the US
Firstly, the vast majority of brazilians that are living in the U.S. cannot be labeled "immigrants" by the true definition of the word. An immigrant, by definition, is a person that leaves one country to LIVE in another, AND also "acclimate" to the new country's customs and culture. It certainly isn't to enter another country, legally or illegally, and if legally, overstay your visa by 5 years, make as much money as possible to send home to sustain your family in your "home" country in their dreaded conditions that were primarily caused due to the fact of little to no opportunity provided by their own thieving, corrupt gov't. And when enough money is made return to your "home" country and start a business with the money you made in the country you "immigrated" to.
That's not called immigration, it's called trespassing, illegal immigration, felonous. Quite humorous that the brazilian gov'ts. answer to low-middle class to middle class young people who don't have any opportunities available to them is to turn a blind eye to the falsification of documents and existance of coyotes, which is blatently practiced in places like governador de valadares. Instead of investing in education and creating jobs, let's just let 'em leave!

In the United States, is mandatory to have health insurance. A good Prefer Provider coverage costs about US$ 976,50 every three months.
And in Brazil it's not? Let me tell ya, I've been to public hospitals in every state in the northeast of this country, and it's appalling. An english buddy of mine was shot in the leg on April 30th of this year, the bullet hit a vein, he nearly bled to death. The police called me on his way to the hospital as they saw my phone number as the last number he called on his cellular. They sent him to a public hospital here in Aracaju....Hospital João Alves, named after our illustrious ex-governor who's son, and himself, just recently got caught in the middle of operation "navalha". When I entered the floor was covered with people lying on it, but that's not the worst part. Two people lying on the floor were DEAD amongst the living!! I have never in my life seen conditions as these in a kennel, let along a hospital for humans.
So, you don't have insurance in Brazil??? Welcome to Hospital João Alves. Where if you're not dead on arrival, you soon will be!

About two-thirds of undocumented workers earn less than twice the minimum wage of US$ 6.50 an hour.
Where did you pull that statistic out of?? I'd love to see the source, but I have a feeling it starts with a B and ends with an A, and has "und" in the middle!
The above statement is 100% complete and utter bulls**t. If 67% of illegal immigrants were making less than $3.25/hour why in the f**k would the U.S. have 12-20 million illegals?? LOL!! What an absurd statement! Listen Ilma, the american business owner that hires illegals DOES NOT pay the illegal less than minimum wage! It's a benefit for him because do you know who he screws?? The U.S. gov't! He doesn't pay taxes on the employees, state, federal, social security, etc. Most times they pay the illegals in CASH, no checks, no evidence. Believe me when I say, you won't find 1% of illegal immigrants working in the U.S. making less than $5/hr. You just won't. It's too easy to find work for minimum wage and above, even for illegals.

That's $2,100 per month, and that's only working 40 hour weeks. Now don't get excited, we understand that one never uses the word "only" and "40 hour week" in the same sentence in Brazil!!

El Dordao? written by GTY,
August 21, 2007
Sure, when compared to the lives they left in Brazil, I am sure that the perception of the US is El Dorado. Because my wife is Carioca, I have a direct and unique perspective on the authors posting. While I agree with Bo's assesment that most Brazilians in the US are here illegally, we know both legal resident Brazilians as well as "the tresspassers". I can see the same thing happening with Brazilians that I did with Mexican's when I was a kid in San Diego. Brazilians as a whole in the US are very savy, if not eductaed and a hard working bunch, the problem is their kids. Born here and automatcialy US citizens with no fear of deportation, Brazilians have bred a bunch a lazy, "gringoized" kids who are no different than the spoiled brats of Zona Sul, while they have not yet formed the violent gangs like those of Central American immigrants, they are heavily involved in crime and prefer not to work. They are the most pathetic bunch of lazy brats ever breed. And the sad part is, due to the Brazilian culture, no matter how many times they get arrested or if they don't have a job, they can live with Mommy until they are 40 years old...or longer.
I also agree with Bo that 2/3 of Brazilians are not working for less than the minimum wage. Those making the minimum wage are working in Walmart or Mcdonalds or other companyies where they must prove citizenship or residency. Most Brazilians we know work in the "cash" economy. Until recently, this economy was very competative and most Brazilian workers made MUCH MORE than the minimum wage. This is rapidly changing as the sub prime loan fisasco and the ultimate slow down of new and existing home construction and improvement are now a 20 year lows.
Brazilian's who are almost all tied to the construction market in one way or another, are taking a finanical beating right now, we know several families that have homes if foreclosure, although we don't know how they purchased a home in the first place. Of course, they have all come to their "rich gringo friend" for help, but there is only so much we can do. I think the El Dorado image is wearing off for most Brazilians, some have been smart and purchased homes or property in Brazil and can return if need be, but many have been caught up in the "American Way", leveraged with loans for cars, furniture and big screen TV's, now they are in big trouble. It's going to get very ugly before it get any better.

It is interesting in these days of Anti Americanism, just how many people from the worlds s**tholes and even from developed countries will leave their families and risk their lives to try and come here.
Ask the question..."How many Anerican's will sneak into another country in the dead of the night, cross deserts and mountians, to live and work illegally"? An American passport is still the most desirable piece of paper on the face of the earth...even our European friends, although and unwilling to admit it for fear of reprecussion, would be here if they could.

Ohhh and to Joao, if as you told me Brazil has so much wealth (do you recall ?)
I didnt even get involved in this discussion.But you decided to drag me into it and I guess I have to say something. I do recall about my commenting about Brazil´s wealth and your reply about Switzerland and Japan.Also worth reading the comment of AES about Super Tanker and its need to have a good Captain,Officers and Crew.With all the wealth we have,are we using our "Brain Power" ? You know as well as I do that we are not using. If at all our leadership is concerned, they would start asking themselves, why so many skilled and unskilled labor are in U.S. and other countries. Years ago, the middle class used help out the poor to get out of their poverty.Now, that class is trying not to become poor. Can you imagine a highly qualified Brazilian Engineer losing his job at the age of 55? What incentive does he have to help the poor? I can go on and on,but it makes me mad.
btw, did someone extricate GTY from the belly of a Pacific shark? He can narrate his story about surviving so many weeks inside the Shark´s intestine.

Hi Joao. Been busy with the cross country move, but we have closed on our home and will move in this weekend, currently in a corporate apartment and was in London last week. You know me, have to have all the frills, 5 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms under 3700 square feet in Pleasanton, CA. I won't tell you exactly how much we paid (but if you guess over $1M you wouldn't be far off), jacuzzi in the master bathroom as well as three gas fireplaces. No pool, but we are working on that.
My beautiful brown Carioca has already found the dozen Brazilians who live in the area, she is working on the house warming party now, has hired a Ciapoiera for the party, should be fun. I have to admit, I miss Florida, this new job is too much like work.

Swimming pool in the middle of 4 buildings, the principle house, garage, maid&gardeners quarters/gameroom, and churrasqueiro. I'm in a closed condominium, 70 meters from the entrance. On the other side of the street is the best beach bar in all of Sergipe, and one of the best I've seen in Brazil. From October until the end of March you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a beautiful piece of ass!

the new rule is deport the parents and send the kid with them as no one can watch them it seem to be working some have started selling off there stuff and leaving , but like most brasilians there stuff is worth more than every bodies stuff .
the trouble with most ileagle are they want to force there culture on the US dont want to speak english at work , drive like at home country , and take as much as they feel if they dont some one will get more then them .

brasilian dude read this written by FORREST ALLEN BROWN,
August 22, 2007
On July 10, 2007 yet another forgin yatch was sized by the Brazilian navy . brought to you by the same people that sized the Roamdeep . The Comando Do 3 ditrito naval , Natal
This was a catamaran 42 ft owned by a french couple , who made the mistake to stop and render aid to 2 Brazilian fisher men about 175kl off the coast of Brazil ,
the sailors were on the long reach from south Africa to Fortaleza when about 8:30 am they saw 2 people on what they though was a raft in the ocean to there port the people were waving rags and jumping up and down ,
The french doing what all sailors do stoped to render aid to the 2 men , they gave them food and water and brought them aboard there boat the AMIEE LEIGH .
took there fishing boat in tow and set a line too the town of PI PA near Natal where the fisher men were from .when they got there the 2 men got on there raft and paddled towards shore .
4 days later while at anchor in Fortaleza a boat with 3 Brazilian navy personal and some other person came abroad the boat to serve papers on them as the fisher men had turned them in as ramming them on the ocean and only st oping after they swam after the boat and climbing up on the stern .
the people were taken to the captain of ports where they had checked in a few days before and were told to sign the papers of the fact the Brazilians were telling the truth and the french were to pay a fine and reimburse the fisher men for the total loss of there fishing boat.
At one point in the interview the french told the inturperter they had a film of the whole thing and would be glad to show them it , the navy personal asked for the camera as too see the film , at that point they said it could be seen on the boats web page when shown the film the navy said it was not positive proof as id did not show the ramming the fishing boat .
when the people protested and sent the interrupter out to get a lawyer the navy got mad as the french couple refused to say any more till they had a lawyer present , the navy told them it was not nasary as there boat had been towed to the dock and was being looked at by the navy for marks on the paint and chips in the glass work .
by the time the lawyer got there it was late the french wanted to go back to there boat and rest they were told they had to stay in a near by hotel as a guard was watching the boat as they did not want them to run away in the night .
The next day with the lawyer in tow they showed up at the captain of ports to settle the matter the lawyer wanted the 2 Brazilian fisher men to be brought to the office for an interview , they were told that the men were poor and could not make the trip with out some sort of help to get there .
During this part of the interview the lawyer told them it would be best to just pay a little money to the navy to let them go even though they did nothing wrong , as it was the Brazilian way or they could be kept there for weeks or longer till the fisher man got what they wanted( money) and were using the law to get what they wanted .
and as a stranger to the country they were the ones at fault no matter if they were not guilty .
So at the request of the lawyer they paid off the navy and the fishermen to the toon of $10.000 reals .
when taken back to there boat it had been robed striped to the paint job , they were left with the sails on the mast and the compass and a few charts .they voiced there utter dislike for the country of Brazil and its law and were told if they kept on they would be fined and possibly deported for insulting a member of the navy and the country of Brazil
So with little to nothing left they got on there boat and set sail for a country with rules of law .
As a final act of french anger he took down the Brazilian flag took a dump on it and threw it at the dock and the Brazilians .
and when he got to the french held islands in the Caribbean he placed his artical in the news paper and posted it on the net to let people like he and i never to take your boat to Brazil as it will be robed by someone
GYT if you have been here you know i dont care about spelling as you seem to get my point any way also you try to type on a rolling key board while driving your boat what is ICE

Immigrants coming to Brazil risking their lives? written by brazilian dude,

The ones that came did so in large immigration ships (bar the 1500's rattraps), generally from famine-ravaged or war-torn regions where their lives would REALLY be forfeit. They SAVED their lives by coming here.A totally different context.The only thing in common was the desperation. Ana, just think:how much do you think you'd be able to make in Brazil? The U.S. has been very good to you, otherwise you wouldn't be there. Turning tricks in Copacabana nets a pittance compared to your take over there.

I have never overstay my visa, I came legally from the beginning. And who said I got a boob job here? And who say you need one to be a stripper? I got one because of me, I had big boobs before my son and they deflated after his birth and I want to fill them back to where they were before. One side of my family is Italian and they all have huge tits. I was a DD since I was 13 years old. My dad's family immigrate to Brazil and they worked on the coffee plantations and raised a family and they were very happy in Brazil. Happiness have nothing to do with money. My mom and dad would never leave Brazil for any money in the world since they would feel out of place. Brazil is my home and my country and will always be. I am a temporarily resident of the US without any ties to this country. It is kind of a jail sentence I have to serve but I know that after I will be free and be able to go back home. I never feel like home here since people are unfriendly and cold and I will never be an "American" even if I have a citizenship since American only stands for what they consider a white person.But I will always be a Brazilian...

I was a C cup then then my biggest was a 15 when I was almost a DDD. I weigh only 100lbs at 5'2 by the way. I don't have an ass so I am very atypical Brazilian girl. I guess that is why I married an American since foreigners really like my body type. After birth my boobs were like an flat tire so I just have them fill out to the original size, no difference for me. They much more light and don't hurt my back since saline weighs less than natural breast tissue.

Brazil is my home and my country and will always be. I am a temporarily resident of the US without any ties to this country.
Ahhh, the type of immigrant that made america great!
After birth my boobs were like an flat tire so I just have them fill out to the original size, no difference for me. They much more light and don't hurt my back since saline weighs less than natural breast tissue.
I've also heard it weighs much less than brain tissue. Might think about relieving some of that pressure while you're at it.

Like to talk about their physical assets, more than any other subject.
But with time the Texas A&M Reality sets in: Saggy, Baggy, Craggy, Faggy, Naggy and Raggy. With what they valued most gone, they get Really Bitter.
Retire here, live and live in Brazil, most couples will do just that once they see their portfolios gone bonkers. A retiree in the future won't have the same lifestyle that most people enjoy today. Many are finding hard to keep a roof over their heads...sounds familiar, don't you agree?
Keep the war in Iraq going on, billions of taxpayers money going down the drain, thousands of innocent people dead...all for what?
I am watching a program on History Channel about the hurricane Katrina, I guess the El Dorado in America are for the rich and the white middle class...

Maybe the real idiots are those who chose to live in an area below sea level. Nobaody forced them to stay there. How smart do you have to be to see that living in New Orleans is not viable in the long run?

Had to be a white southerner that built new orleans. Who else would build a city 12 feet below sea level and fill it with negros?
I think overall, Brazilians cause a LOT LESS problems in the U.S.A. than Illegal Mexicans. Illegal Mexicans have free-reign in the U.S. and monopolize everything to themselves. Many Brazilians who come to the U.S. actually have degrees (unlike their Mexican counterparts) and end up being good people in their communities. The only Brazilians who tend to cause problems are 2nd generation mal-adjusted teens who suffer from identity crisis and many end up joining stupid Mexican gangs to find their identities.
Overall, Brazilians have done a lot of good for the U.S. and most have a lot of fun living here. There are beaches, resorts, fun of all kinds and usually, Brazilians immigrants legal or not tend to have a much better lifestyle here than they would in Brazil. Now, upper middle class and rich Brazilians are a bit different. They usually have a better life in Brazil than here and they wouldn't be caught dead doing ordinary service jobs. They don't need to.

Illegals in The U.S.A Statistics written by Rem,

I entered the US. 35 years ago legally with a green card in hand from Brazil and have been naturalized long ago. Some one here said that the it is mandatory to have a health care program in the US, otherwise an illegal is screwed. First of all, who told them to come ilegally? Secondly, while theoretically there is free healthcare in Brazil, the system has been in shambles for as long as I can remember. Constant strikes, poor conditions, even when there are no strikes. Only the top Brazilian well-to-do can afford a private plan. Just try to use the public hospitals in Brazil in case something happens to you while you are there! Better pre arrange a travel insurance plan with health provider from your country of origin or bring some extra Dollars or Euros to directly check-in to a private hospital! There are many Brazilians who have been taken good care in American hospitals when serious surgeries were needed and paid next to nothing afterwards, simply by claiming inability to pay. Quality medical care that no public Brazilian hospital would provide to their nationals. Now, the ''El Dorado'' myth: Over the years, I found that some Brazilians who go back to their homeland with a fist full of Dollars, love to rub it in telling fantastic stories to family and friends, so to impress them to look good. In turn, some folks will believe the accounts and do everything to come to the US. only to find out that most of the stories were not true. Most Brazilians who stay in the US. illegally ARE NOT well schooled. I could go on and on but what for? I know Brazil and the Brazilian expatriates well.
FORREST tries to compare US politics and corruption with the Brazilians. How ludicrous! If the Americans knew how corrupt Brazilians politicians are, the American conterparts will look like saints! Also, I am tired of hearing Brazilians talk about how beautiful their national anthem is and how it sounds, as well as their soccer and so on. What does it do here? Why don't they clean up their own house by removing anglicisms in the Portuguese language spoken in Brazil as well as stopping all the American music in their radio stations in their country? I tell, you... no personality! Also Brazilian technology is so backwards. The aircraft maker Embraer is nothing but an assembly line because all their airplanes are developed in Japan, Europe and US. All the Brazilian television sets, cell phones and other electronics run on foreign made electronic circuitry. That says it all. No wonder the median yearly pay in Brazil does not raise above U$3,400.00!!! It needs to pay for all that imported technology. Have I talked about their botched aerospace program? You don't want to know! Unless you want to have a good laugh.

housing is free .
hospitals are free all you have to do is get there .
for the the first time in recored history there were less circsums in the us than ever before
not that there were less babies but more are from forgin countries that dont beleive in the proess .
also there were more C sections as that is the norm in third world countries as the doctors would rather just take it out than have to set till its ready .
more women from other countries are having children than native born people as the general population of the US is shrinking
the forgin are growing at a rate the rats cant keeep up with ,
putting a strain on all the social wellfare systems of the US
and taxing the workers to the point of them starting to retire and get out of the country
and leave it to the freeloaders and the goverment that does not want to do any thing about it
what we are looking at is in a few years it will be like a bird island starts out very beatuiful
and after a few years the over taxing of the system begins to drain down all till
soon the place is dead to all and what is left is
only a dead island and the birds start looking for another place to light
