Tougher times driving many back to Brazil

Affordable housing. Job opportunities. The American dream. Add it together and local Brazilians say it's no secret why Lowell became their destination city.

[Hola]

I don't get it.. how many are illegal? Are we suppose to feel bad? I can't believe the lowell sun would print such a story

[Lowellian]

To this I say- take a couple of you cousins with you on the way back home! I think it may be easier in America if the illegal aliens took a cue from these fine Brazilians. Good Luck and enjoy your homeland!

[LOWELL]

IF I CAME FROM A DIFFERENT
COUNTRY I WOULD GO BACK TOO,TAXES TO HIGH,NOT ENOUGH PAY TO MAKE ENDS MEET, GAS PRICES,HOMES,
INSURANCE, LOWELL USE TO BE A CHEAP PLACE, NOT ANYMORE...

All these lawbreakers need to be deported.
Let them get their dream from their own
country like Americans did.

Although a few brazilians do intend to move back home, there are many looking for an opportunity to move to either the US or Europe. Those who are living in the US are disappointed with the exchange rate and tougher immigration laws, but those who are living in Brazil are disappointed with the lack of opportunities and yes, they are willing to even borrow money from relatives , selling anything ( houses, land, cars )in order to raise funds to travel. Myself, a charitable man indeed, do the best I can to fulfill their dreams. If they want to have a chance to travel to the US and get a visa denial, I provide the paperwork in order to get a visa. If they don´t get a visa after all, they will still travel to the US, comfortably, not running across the desert
nor confined inside a truck. Instead, they either fly to or sail to, again, very comfortably.Will they have any trouble when entering the US?? not at all. They will be safely delivered to a friend/relative´s address. How many hours will
they have to work?? I do not care! Will they have to worry about social security card and green card?? nope, they will be provided ( almost real ones, modesty aside) Is there a refund in case of deportation??? of course not! Do I have customers?
more than I could handle. Do I get paid well??
You bet!!

"Many people do come here illegally to try to save money to buy a house or a farm or cows in Brazil," Silva said. "Once they've got what they're after, it's time to go back."

Yup... that's most of them. They come here... don't pay taxes, obtain illegal forms of identification, and use drugs. The Brazilians are the worst. Get them out of Lowell... The areas in which they are inhabiting are terrible... the houses are a mess, they're filthy. The just want our money to go back and live high off the hog. We need to take a stand and stop illegal immigration. This is an outrage. Taxes are high because of the million immigrants working under the table. If you want to come here for a better life and stay and pay taxes like everyone else, fine. But if not, take off... go home. WE DON'T WANT YOU!

Hmmm, is that a fact?

You know, I have several working relationships with some Federales in Espírito Santo.

Do you know Federal prosecutor Ronaldo Albo?
Would you like to meet him?

Tec1,

It's idiots like you that give Republicans like me a bad wrap. Don't spew your venom here and then associate it with the GOP. That's not what were about.

Rasgohle,

I can only hope that you get put out of business ASAP as YOU perpetuate the vicious circle of ILLEGAL immigration.

[buh bye]

Hey, I wont miss the illegal neighbors at all, be they Brazilian or what.
They work for less than minimum wage under the table, stealing jobs from taxpayers.
With a recession setting in, I don't need to be further undercut looking for a job.
Perhaps a clear message needs to be sent that they won't be welcome back.

[MrTipps]

How sad is it for the USA when the dollar is worth LESS then the Brazilian currency.

Guess the one good thing about the crumbling dollar is that it will discourage illegal immigrants as this article states.

If you live in MA, you’re right, Brazilians are the worst.
Then again if you lived in FL, you’d say Cubans are the worst.
How about NY, I’m sure Puerto Ricans are horrible people too.
I lived in WV, therefore I can say WHITE TRASH are definitely the WORST !!!

Perhaps you should learn to live with adversity.

You’re as ignorant as they come!

All these people who wrote these comments need to go back to school and learn English Composition.

Not ignoring you, just can't discuss it. Doing so may compromise investigations in process.
