Hi!!!

First of all I agree with you almost 100%.
My name is Edxxxx, I have 32 years old. I was born in
Chicago, IL in 1975.
Let me say something about my history.
In 1978, my parents moved to Brazil. My dad is vascular surgeon and
accept a job in a hospital in the city of Sao Paulo. I was raised
here, made my college, all my life till 2003, when I decide to go to
New York and see if I can live there.
I stayed for 4 years, working and studing (i work with advertising). I
payed all taxes and I saw the brazilians, lots of brazilians in all
Westchester County area in NY. But wait... for them I was like a
brazilian. I speak portuguese like a brazilian. And I have some
brazilian friends, I eat in some brazilian restaurants, padarias (as
they say). I love the food and everything.
The problem is working and paying my taxes I saw they working, not
paying taxes, driving without insurance, drives license, etc etc. So I
realized what damage they're causing there.
I know good brazilian and bad. The good are working with all
documents, legally in places like banks in Manhattan and the worse are
working delivering pizzas or construction.
But you have to understand Brazil a little more.
Brazil is very big, there are 25 states and a population of 180
million people. Each state is like one different country. Different
food, culture and races. There are very rich and very poor people. The
south was colonized buy europeans, like italians, germans, and is very
rich and the north is very poor. As you probably know I am back here
(Brazil) working and making good money living in Sao Paulo, a great
city.
The problem is 90% of the brazilians there came from one state called
Minas Gerais, specially from 2 cities (Poços de Caldas and Governador
Valadares). They are terrible, they accept to live in bad conditions
there. They don't respect thet law. But wait, I know stories that
nobody does nothing about that. No policeman catch them.
Ok, listen, I'm asking you to know more about, do researches about
Brazil. Don't generalized the people. Thanks very much

Edxxxxxx
