147 Brazilians caught at Texas-Mexico border

HARLINGEN, Texas U-S Border Patrol officials say nearly 150 illegal immigrants from Brazil were caught in the South Texas border region today.

Spokesman Roy Cervantes said a total of 147 were caught in six locations, ranging from the banks of the Rio Grande to a roadway about 30 miles north of McAllen.

He said the captures appeared to be random, and he didn't know why so many Brazilians were attempting to cross.

It's the second recent apprehension of Brazilians in South Texas.

Cervantes said Border Patrol agents apprehended a group of 40 illegal immigrants in a remote patch of Starr County on March 14th.

Cervantes said the migrants came from cities throughout Brazil.

He said six were children, but he didn't have a breakdown of how many were men and how many were women.

They're just trying to get into the US in time to take advantage of that amnesty that has been promised. This is reminiscent of the gold rush of 1849. Everyone knows that our streets are paved with gold after all--it's called Social Security. All they have to do is get here and lay anchor...

LOL that reminds me of the movie Boat Trip, with Cuba Gooding Jr. & Horatio Sanz on the gay cruise. All was lost until the Swedish Sun Tan team was picked up at sea.

Actually, under the Tancredo amnesty plan, they have to be outside the US to apply.

Brazil is notorious worldwide for having a large transvestite/transsexual population. Its an odd cultural phenomenon.

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes a-a-h!

When she walks she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes a-a-h!

Ooh but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give his heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at me

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
I smile but she doesn't see
She never sees me

Ooh but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give my heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks ahead not at me

Tall and tan and young and lonely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
I smile but she doesn't see

Yes. I've been to Brasil (yes, that is how they spell the name of their country) three times on business. There are a lot of very attractive women in Brasil. I suspect that these illegals came from Rio - a bad section south of the city in the hills. Very nasty neighborhood.
