A decade ago, places like Little Brazil near 42nd Street in Manhattan were loaded with Brazilian restaurants and shops selling everything from calling cards, to cameras to cheap cell phones and souvenirs. Today, Little Brazil is a shadow of its former self. The Brazilian restaurants are either half empty, or more full with tourists looking for a sugar-bombed caipirinha, than the Brazilians who live there. (And their picanha is nothing like the real thing. And come on, Pitu? Quem faça caipirinhas com Pitu? Ninguem.)

I read this week almost the same thing about Mexicans leaving the U.S. It seems that the for the first time the numbers of Mexicans leaving the US was higher than mexicans getting in.

Good thing for both countries though , less illegals in the U.S. and better economies at home for those guys (not sure about Mexico though)

It actually isn't a good sign if you you at the big picture. The USA and other western nations best selling stake was the that opportunity and fortunes we're better here. If that's now gone and foreigners just stay or go else were it starts to show how the west is in decline.

As for economics. Illegals were intertwined into the economy. Farms in Cali and businesses in AZ are closing down because they don't have access to cheap labor anymore. There price points and entry into the market depended on that labor. All this will signal is downward pressures on American wages. Some states have work brigades now, Obama is looking to implement it nationally where people on U.I. Will have to put in 6 weeks of labor with no pay.

cut off the government free shit and the amount of people willing to do physical labor as opposed to sitting on their asses all day will skyrocket when the alternative is to starve to death

LOL!!!!!!
I'm glad someone understands that point. Social programs to eradicate poverty isn't for them, its for us. The lack of these things go hand in hand with crime rate.
