Subject: Brazilain News article

Here is an article written about us that appeared in the Sao Paulo newspaper.
She wasn't to up on things, just your typical slanderous B/S.

Article Translated from below

By Patricia Campos Mello
I spent a few days in Boston last week to write a review on the Brazilian immigrants. The community of Brazilian immigrants in the United States, or "brazucas", reaches 1.2 million, of which only 20% are legalizados, or have green card or visa to work.
The crisis in the subprime, as has been reported, reached in the full brazucas and many are losing their homes. But what impressed me even more was the training of anti-Brazilian groups. Jim and Joe Rizoli, two brothers in the region of Boston, created the CCFIILE, a xenophobic group that produces two weekly programmes on TV and makes anti-immigrant lobby. For Rizoli, illegal immigrants from the region of Framingham are like the mafia that invaded Chicago in the years 30, bringing prostitution and drug trafficking. The level of prejudice against the Brazilians is frightening. I am afraid that this will worsen. With the economic recession, anti-immigrant sentiment tends to increase. Discrimination against immigrants Brazilians will only increase.

O grupo anti-brazucas
por Patricia Campos Mello, Seção: BRICs, Estados Unidos s 22:26:38.
Passei uns dias em Boston na semana passada, para escrever uma matéria sobre os imigrantes brasileiros. A comunidade de imigrantes brasileiros nos EUA, ou "brazucas", chega a 1,2 milhão, sendo que apenas 20% são legalizados, ou seja, têm green card ou visto de trabalho.
A crise do subprime, como já foi noticiado, atingiu em cheio os brazucas e muitos estão perdendo suas casas. Mas o que me impressionou ainda mais foi a formação de grupos anti-brasileiros. Jim e Joe Rizoli, dois irmãos da região de Boston, criaram o CCFIILE, um grupo xenófobo que produz dois programas semanais na TV e faz lobby anti-imigrante. Para os Rizoli, os imigrantes ilegais da região de Framingham são como a máfia que invadiu Chicago nos anos 30, trazendo prostituição e tráfico de drogas. O nível de preconceito contra os brasileiros é assustador. E tenho medo de que isso vá piorar. Com a recessão econômica, o sentimento anti-imigrante tende a recrudescer. A discriminação contra imigrantes brasileiros só vai aumentar.
