June 7, 2012 SouthAmerica: Reply to Mav88 and Lucrum It is just a matter of time for me to go back to Brazil. But I have some news for you guys, something that you guys are not aware of: Brazil is also connected to the internet - believe it or not. In today's world the location from where a person is posting stuff on the internet, it does not matter if it is posted in Brazil or the old USA - the result is the same. Here is some more info for you guys, enjoy it! The Forbes article said: â...IBGE said that Americans were also moving to Brazil. Around 51,900 U.S. citizens moved to Brazil in 2010, followed by 41,400 Japanese citizens. ...Brazil âs economy and standard of living are improving.â What the article did not mention is that in the last 2 years more than 1.6 million people immigrated to Brazil, mostly from Europe, they moved to Brazil looking for a better life. Most of these people are well educated and are bringing their assets to Brazil to protect against a collapsing European economy. This inflow of human capital and also of capital ready for investment will help Brazil grow its economy in the coming years. ***** BRIC - the new emerging world superpower http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=238113&perpage=6&pagenumber=10 May 10, 2012 SouthAmerica: Today we have reverse immigration between the USA and Brazil - not only Brazilians are returning to Brazil after living in the US for many years, but also young Americans are leaving the USA to go to Brazil to look for a job. Forbes â May 2, 2012 Brazilians Leaving The U.S. Behind http://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2012/05/02/brazilians-leaving-the-u-s-behind/?feed=rss_home It might not seem that way when walking down the streets of Manhattan or Miami, but Brazilians are leaving the United States behind and heading home. A decade ago, places like Little Brazil near 42nd Street in Manhattan were loaded with Brazilian restaurants and shops selling everything from calling cards, to cameras to cheap cell phones and souvenirs._ Today, Little Brazil is a shadow of its former self. The Brazilian restaurants are either half empty, or more full with tourists looking for a sugar-bombed caipirinha, than the Brazilians who live there. (And their picanha is nothing like the real thing. And come on, Pitu? Quem faça caipirinhas com Pitu? Ninguem.) In states like Massachusetts, old Portuguese language cities like Fall River have seen the Brazilian community numbers dwindle to maybe a couple of hundred. Where there were once four or five Brazilian store owners in the Flint district of that mill city, there are now only two. According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, or IBGE, over 286,500 people immigrated to Brazil in 2010, the most recent year for Census data. And of that total 65% of them were Brazilians coming home after years spent in a U.S. they no longer recognize from the Brazilian immigration heydays that began out of Governador Valdares, a small city in Minas Gerais state that had as many people living in Massachusetts, New Jersey and California, than were living there in the 1990s. ...IBGE said that Americans were also moving to Brazil. Around 51,900 U.S. citizens moved to Brazil in 2010, followed by 41,400 Japanese citizens. Japan and Brazil have close historical ties. Japanese dominate many populations in south Brazil. Brazil âs economy and standard of living are improving.

...and yet here you sit in the USA telling us how great Brazil is, you are a monumental hipocrite. In the meantime Brazil is so great people still come to the US illegallly from Brazil. I won't even mention the historical legal immigration and embarrass you http://www.brazzil.com/component/co...ming-to-the-us-is-the-scum-of-the-earthq.html Please, believe your own drivel and get your ass back to Brazil
June 8, 2012 SouthAmerica: To answer your question: For all practical purposes there were 1.3 million Brazilians living in the United States out of 2 million Brazilians living outside of Brazil. But that was before 2008 since then we had an exodus of Brazilians leaving the United States to go back to Brazil, today the new estimated number would be close to 900 thousand people instead of 1.3 million people. Anyway, the 1.3 million Brazilians that used to be living in the United States was split right in the middle â half were legal immigrants and the other half were illegal immigrants. About 800 thousand people where living in the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut area, about 200 thousand in New England Boston area, about 200 thousand in Florida, and another 100 thousand across the country. By the way, I would suggest that out of the 900 thousand Brazilians that still live in the United States at least half of these people should go back to Brazil, before they are not allowed to live the US anymore. That fence that they are building in the border with Mexico is not to keep illegal immigrants from coming into the United States - as the US turn into a police state that fence will keep Americans and foreigners from leaving the United States - just like the Berlin Wall. The wall is being built to keep people from leaving the country and not the other way around.

What a waste of money â billions of US dollars that could be used for better purposes such as bridges, tunnels, water systems, and other forms of useful infrastructure. Every time I see Lou Dobbs going crazy on television because of that fence I just shake my read. Most Americans donât even ask some basic questions regarding this issue. Maybe that is asking too much from the average American population anyway. Over the years when I was working on a business plan I had to expend a lot time doing research about the Brazilian population living in the United States about the legal and illegal immigrants and where they were located. For all practical purposes there were 1.3 million Brazilians living in the United States out of 2 million Brazilians living outside of Brazil. The 1.3 million Brazilians living in the United States was split right in the middle â half were legal immigrants and the other half were illegal immigrants. Today according to Lou Dobbs program I heard all kinds of estimates regarding the number of illegal immigrants living in the United States â the US government does not have a clue if there are 12 million or twenty million of illegal immigrants scattered around the United States. Out of the 750,000 Brazilian immigrants living on the United States only a few thousand came across the Mexican border with the US, and there was a reason why these few thousand people came that way â Globo Television Network had a very popular program in Brazil called âAmericaâ â that soap opera did show how a group of Brazilians crossed the border from Mexico to the US and the soap opera did show how these people were able to find jobs and prosper in the United States and some of the characters even were able to become very rich. That soap opera became a marketing tool for people to follow on the footsteps of the soap opera story line and that was when a few thousand Brazilians came to the US via Mexico going thru the desert and so onâ¦. But most Brazilians are smarter than that and they have been going to the United States by the thousands by the usual way â which is a little more comfortable than trying to go across a desert and so on â they just board a 747 in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, or other major Brazilian cities and after a few hours of flight they land in New York City, Newark, NJ, Boston, Miami, Los Angeles and so on. â and then they overstay their tourist visas. I know that coming to the United States by 747 and landing in one of the major cities is not as exciting for a program like Lou Dobbs since there are very few people who actually die during these flights (maybe sometimes someone has a heart attack) and they usually have water and other beverages to drink during the flight, and they even serve food for the passengers. Probably 95 percent of the illegal immigrants got here in the United States by airplane, by bus, by train, by ship, by truck, by car and just a small minority crossed the desert, under the most hostile conditions. In a nutshell: another intelligent investment made by the US government just like the money invested on the US prison system â they are investing billions and billions of US dollars to keep maybe 5 percent of the illegal immigration out of the US. If you think the illegal immigration is bad right now, then just wait when Boeing puts in production the new planes that people can travel almost on the standing position and then the US will be able to import millions and millions of new illegal immigrants from Africa, and Asia. For now anyway, there is an exodus of legal and illegal immigrants who are leaving the United States and returning home to places such as Brazil. Some of these people are going to stay in Brazil but about half of these people who are returning it was because they can do better in Brazil or in Europe. .
