Brazilians shun 'American Dream'

BBC reports:

At the tiny airport on the outskirts of the city of Governador Valadares a plane draws up to the terminal building, bringing with it just a handful of passengers.

On board - as with many flights these days - is a Brazilian who has decided that the "American dream" is no longer for him, after seven years away from his family.

Faced with a falling US dollar and a tougher climate for immigrants generally, Francisco Silva says many Brazilians are finding it harder to make a living in the US and are either returning home or going elsewhere.
