If I had to leave the United States due to War, totalitarian regime, etc. I would migrate to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil because it is the economic leader of South America, with the ninth largest economy in the world and the second-largest in the whole Western Hemisphere.
Brazil is the leader for coffee production in the world. Brazil produces a quarter of the world citrus, and has more than one-tenth of the cattle supply, and produces one-fifth of the iron ore. Most of Brazil's sugar cane production is used to create gasohol, which powers a percentage of Brazilian automobiles. The main business of the country is automobile assembly. I work in the automobile industry currently.
In Rio de Janeiro even though Portuguese is the main language, many speak English. In Brazil each state has its own elected legislature and governor. …show more content…
The exchange rate is 1 Brazilian real equals .30 of the US dollar. Brazilians show no cultural or general negativity, hatred or frustration toward outsiders, it appears they easily welcome those who are different. I would go with my mother; she would love to live in a beautiful country in her later years. I would take my clothes and US currency, $10,000.00. The laws in Brazil state an alien needs a visa, which can be one of the following types: transit, tourist, temporary, permanent, courtesy, official, and diplomatic. The resident alien enjoys all rights recognized to Brazilian citizens according to the Constitution and its domestic laws. The alien must also show proof of legal immigration status in the Brazilian territory as required by any authority. Aliens must have specific authorization to work. I would live illegally, only if I had to. The cost of living in Brazil is: Basic (Electricity, Heating, Cooling, Water, Garbage) for 915 square foot Apartment 249.55 R$ which equals $75.7906 USD. I choose Brazil because it’s beautiful and tropical. I love warm weather, I’m very cold
