With all of the Brazil chat here lately, thought you guys might enjoy this read:

My Way News - Foreigners who came to Brazil in boom times flee the bust

I see the same thing happening here in Argentina somewhat as well. All of my expat friends have returned to the US or Europe, all excluding one. But not just because of economic issues, also increasing insecurity issues as well as I've mentioned...

That's normal in bust times.

Case in point, this is the result after the US economy busted:


Net Migration from Mexico Falls to Zero—and Perhaps Less

Immigrants in the United States and the Current Economic Crisis


Crime levels in Mexico are probably higher than in Argentina, yet that's not enough to push enough Mexicans into the US to affect the migration rate.

I think by very definition they'd flee. They are simply and only there because it was booming, when its not, the economic opportunity is gone, and they'd leave.

They really have NO OTHER purpose to be there, if that is the reason they went in the first place.

Argentina has had an unstable economy for many decades. Anybody moving there for economic reasons must have been on crack or a very poor immigrant from bordering countries.

I think people just get bored of living so far away from home. Most of Brazil and Argentina are too far away from the US.

But now it'll be even hipper because it'll be grittier and less gentrified right?

I have no problem with Brazil per se and wish it well, but I never understood why it seemed be such an "it" destination.

I heard it was going to become a separate country.

Venezuela is doing its best to make Argentina look better.

Please, only people who live online and don't get out in the real world believe things like this. They are normal Brazilians, who accept everyone and are respectful to everyone. I've never had problems there. I know many, many South Brazilians and they never bring this up.

Interestingly here in CA, many of the South Brazilians I know are either married to or dating Mexicans, including my husband, so if they are all racist, that is news to me!!!!

They are more concerned with providing for their families and finding stable jobs like everyone else in the world.
