Stories on Brazilians leaving Massachusetts

[randomness]

From http://www.townonline.com/framingham/homepage/x809749016:
"Brazilian immigrants are returning home, driven by several factors: failure of immigration reform, immigration crackdowns, and the worsening exchange rate between the dollar and Brazil's real."

From http://www.wbur.org/news/2007/69528_20070813.asp:
"Brazilian immigrants are quietly packing up and leaving. The falling dollar has made it less attractive for them to work in the United States, and tightened immigration laws are making it uncomfortable to stay."

That is sad. Not surprising, but sad.

Given that we're a nation of immigrants, I find today's climate appalling.

Am I the only person that finds this sad? I am meta-sad.

I find it sad, too. But I did post it.
