More Brazilians opt for Europe

FRAMINGHAM —
Three Brazilian researchers recently visited Framingham to investigate the new migration patterns of Brazilians, many of whom are now choosing Europe over the United States as their destination.

Leading the group was Sueli Siqueira, a sociologist with the University of Vale do Rio Doce in Governador Valadares, the city in Brazil where the migration of Brazilians abroad began.

Accompanying Siqueira were historian Emerson Cesar de Campos and anthropologist Glaucia de Oliveira Assis, both professors from the University of Santa Catarina, another state in Brazil that has sent thousands of its residents abroad.

Two years ago, large numbers of Brazilians began going home as a result of several factors: harsher immigration enforcement, growing demand for working documents, an economic slump in the United States and the worsening exchange rate between the dollar and Brazilian real.

Siqueira was surprised to find out that nearly one-third of those who were returning from the United States were planning to migrate to Europe, she said.

Local travel agencies in Valadares report a 60 percent increase in sales of tickets to Europe, Siqueira said.

The same thing is happening in Santa Catarina, said Assis, but despite the growing numbers of Brazilians going to Europe, the United States continues to be the first choice for Brazilians, she said.

"Even though it's more difficult to migrate to the United States now, still more people prefer to go to the United States than to Europe," said Assis. "The social networks that help immigrants find jobs or housing are more established in the United States than in Europe."

The strong euro is drawing immigrants who once would have come to the United States, they said.

The team is studying both illegal and legal immigration and is in the early stages of its research, so the researchers couldn't say what the patterns mean here and abroad.

The research is financed through the Brazilian states of Minas Gerais and Santa Catarina, whose officials want to have an idea about immigration trends. The researchers said they are focused more on the impact of the communities back home, rather than those in Massachusetts.

For both Siqueira and Assis, the role of social networks in the movement of Brazilians abroad is fundamental. Those networks make it easier for people to move to a new country, they said, by providing vital information and contacts on how to start a new life in a new land.

"Back in the 1960s, a Brazilian would travel to New York knowing beforehand where he had to go to find a job and a place to live," said Assis.

The researchers plan to visit Portugal, Spain and Italy by the spring of 2009. This time, besides Framingham, they also visited Malden, Everett, Lowell and Somerville, as well as Bridgeport, Conn., and New York City.

Siqueira, Assis and Campos interviewed longtime Brazilian immigrants who came here in the late 1960s and 1970s to find out how they created those social networks that helped Brazilian immigration grow, and how they formed churches, businesses and civic groups.

"We want to know how those first immigrants created a community," said Siqueira. "We need to learn the beginning of the Brazilian migration experience to understand what the future holds."

My comments....


That is great news. Maybe we can have a fireworks celebration downtown to wish them well.
They came, they plundered, and they tried to conqueror, but failed.
Vera Defreitas has moved on and the reign of the corrupt Brazilians is slowly coming to an end.
That's the good news, the bad news is they are being replaced by other South American gypsies just as bad and just as corrupt.
Albeit they are not as self-righteous and haughty as the Brazilians.

The Brazilians never came here to assimilate, they came to make a lot of money and go back home to live off the wealth they accumulated here. They have no love for the U.S. they know it, and we know it.. The dumbass liberal people of Framingham were taken in by these soft speaking lawbreakers and will defend them to the end, but the truth bears witness to what the real reason for them coming here.

Many of then we're part of a slave trade, and some the women sold their bodies for sex and they did quite well. Not to mention the ones working in the strip clubs.
I guess people here like to see these things going on or maybe they were using the services of the illegals involved with these things. There has to be some connection.

It's amazing that peopel here don't see what is going on. Instead they try to muddy up the waters and accuse people like myself of being racist, bigoted, etc. If your going to accuse me of something it's telling the "TRUTH".

Just because you all got fooled by them is not my fault. I've been warning you for the past 4 years about the problem and most of you didn't care.

Well anyway, the Brazilians can now go to Europe, and continue their illegal activities there.
I'm sure the Europeans will welcome them with open arms, but when they extend their arms out to great them they might want to check their pockets, they might be missing their wallets.
