You might be happier back in Brazil! I'm not challenging you.. I'm just completely confused. Why is Texas better than Brazil. From what you are constantly saying, Brazil seems like paradise to you! Im not attacking you I am just confused by the contradiction between loving and thinking Brasil is the best to wanting to leave it for Texas.

Moving to texas
Hi,

I will move (legally) to USA next year. I am brazilian, white, and I intend to live in Texas, preferentially in a small city. I like simple things.
My life plan is to buy a house (simple) to live and a heavy truck to work like owner truck driver.
I choice Texas because many people say in Texas has many baptist and I am baptist. Is it true?
I would like know how the texans see the foreing? Anyone can help with informations or sugestions?
You don't need be confuse. I am intending move to Texas because I have several relatives living there (cousins, one brother, one sister and brother in law, every legally) I was there in 1995 (Houston) and I loved. Will be a life's new experience to me because I love to know new places, new cultures and new people. But with all troubles (Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae & Fredie Mac, Lehman Brothers, AIG, Merryl Linch) happen with the US economy right now I am not sure. I think I will prefer leave my "little money" here.

Also San Francisco is my hometown and I have no idea what you meant previously when you challenged Big Bear. Please explain in a Christian like manner (no personal attack).

About San Francisco,CA: I am not against San Francisco or against californians. But all the world know that San Francisco is the "paradise", "the Meca", of homossexuals, transexuals, and all kinds of "diferents" sexuals movements.

I don't think San Francisco is the mecca by any means. There are more alternative people in other cities such as New York. Also the gay rights movement started in New York (Stonewall). NY and Toronto have the largest gay pride marches in North America. So it would seem that this is just a stereotype of San Francisco.

Now is not the time to come to America.. The unemployment rate went up to 6.1 (I know its still lower than Brazil). You will be competing with Americans for the available jobs. Of course, some cities are better than others. Some fields better than others -- for example if you are in Finance it will be hard to get a job in New York. As a truck driver they may be a shortage but you will need to be certified and you need to do your research. There is a reason why people are not becoming truck drivers -- high gas prices are eating into their profits!

Oh my good friend,
You cannot believe in the products made in Hollywood. Hollywood is a factory of illusions and mistakes. First you must look for to know people and their cultures before say anything. Don't believe in hollywood. NEVER!!

and my friend I am giving you the SAME advise to you. NEVER believe everything you see in American movies, TV shows, etc. America is not crime ridden everywhere. Transexuals are not rampant in San Francisco. Serial killers are not lurking around every corner. The middle class are not lining up in droves in front of welfare offices. There are now parts of the south bronx that look like suburban areas, etc. etc.

If the situation were reverse (American in Brazil) you would do the same exact thing!
My friend,

Maybe, because my bad english, you are not understanding my mind and my point of view.
I love the USA, the americans and the "american way of life". I am no talking about your country in a negative light.
I have many americans friends living here in Rio de Janeiro. But, without to want offend you, we cannot ignore the crisis in the american economy. It's a normal happening in a globalized world.
Please, forgive me if I offend you. I want be your friend.

My friend minibrings,
You are american and I am brazilian. We are made same materials: flesh and blood. We have family, feelings. We are same thing. The only diference is our birth place. LET BE FRIENDS.

No worries. Perhaps I misunderstood you, but it was hard not to when all I could see where negatives (serial killers, crime, etc). So perhaps be careful what you post - ok? I know you love Brazil. People should love their countries. Its a good thing!

And I am confident a solution will be found for the current financial issue. I have funds in the stock exchange and I am not overly concerned. I have confidence in the long term viability of the American economy.

I know you want to migrate here. Now is not the time. Actually there was an article in the paper indicating that the number of people migrating is down and perhaps it was the economy. Smart people. I'd wait a year and see how things go. Or try Canada, they are more keen to recruit migrants.

I was reading recently that many Brazilians had immigrated to live in Massachusetts(of all places) and many made a U turn after a while to go back home. I think the USA is going to slow down any work permits or immigration to protect jobs here for it's citizens, so no it's probably not the time to come.
