Abstract
The aim of this article is to contextualize data about the Brazilian immigrants who have decided to stay in the United States, those with intentions to leave, and those that had already left. These immigrants attest to the influence of the crisis on the decision and the impact on their occupations and income. The hypothesis is that the natives of Brazil increased with the crisis, but the migration may continue with less intensity. Nevertheless, the profile of immigrants and types of migration may change.
I will bring this subject through the analyzation of recent reports and academic productions. I will also show the information collected at the International Airport of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo to Brazilians, during the arrivals of flights from United States - Miami, Detroit, Dallas, New York, Newark, Atlanta and Washington. Finally, I will explore the methodological obstacles that I have found during this research.
