A lot of emotions and passions involved

 

[Jack]

is there a path for citinship for Brazilians in the US?

 

[MANCID RILKO]

Not an easy one. Brazil is con

 

[MANCID RILKO]

Not an easy one. Brazil is considered a safe country

 

[MANCID RILKO]

SO asylum is out of the question

 

[Jack]

well can't you just want to become a citizen as a reason to immigrate?

 

[MANCID RILKO]

Women are usually luckier, especially they're young and pretty

 

[Jack]

twistedly that makes sense

 

[MANCID RILKO]

Many say they were poor and lived in a violent area as a reason for leaving

 

[MANCID RILKO]

But still, you need either a good lawyer and money

 

[MANCID RILKO]

Or an American partner to get you a green card

 

[Jack]

This whole thing has been twisted up by our rhetoric and politics and racial hate

 

[MANCID RILKO]

I was in the US in 2001 when the terror attacks happened

 

[MANCID RILKO]

I had been there for two years and things had been great until then

 

[MANCID RILKO]

After the attacks, it was like every single immigrant was a a terrorist

 

[MANCID RILKO]

It was really bad for a few months

 

[MANCID RILKO]

But it never went back to the way it was before

 

[MANCID RILKO]

I knew a guy, he was Brazilian, but had Lebanese blood

 

[MANCID RILKO]

He looked arab and that was enough for people to throw bottles at him on the street

 

[MANCID RILKO]

Those were really crazy times

 

[MANCID RILKO]

I almost came back to Brazoo in 2002

 

[MANCID RILKO]

LOL now the deported Brazilians are claiming they tortured, because they were in handcuffs

 

[Jack]

They may have been.

 

[Jack]

why handcuff them?

 

[Jack]

americans in that system arent known for their kindnesses generally. And these are people energized by Trumps hateful rhetoric of this past year.

 

[Jack]

"animals" "garbage" "vermin" etc etc.
