Because it's far easier to live in the US without papers. It's much more difficult to do that in Europe.

I would like to see some stats on Brazilian immigration in Europe vs USA, both legal and ilegal.

Sometimes, Brazilians in US are categorized as Latinos but in reality, outside Boston and maybe Florida, there isn’t that expressive Brazilian communities in the USA.

There's nearly a million Brazilians in the US, including nearly 100,000 in NYC alone [0].

Protip: Go to Carioca in Astoria or Copacabana on 39th Ave. Holy shit Brazilians can cook.

I guess my motivation was more to dwelve on historical fact European immigration to Brazil could make easier for European Brazilians descendants to immigrate back to Europe legally? Yet, I suspect it is not as much as it could be.
