Never allow anybody in your house without the carteira assinada if they work more than once a week and get receipts for everything. No excuses. Pull out the ink pad and get a thumbprint if they bulk at signing,,,,then send them away. I learned the hard way and have spent over 12,000 reais on pure BS and face another 5-10 on more bs lies.

Well, my little one spent his first two months in BR and will prob spend the rest of his time in the UK, so I guess he will be entitled to run for President of Brasil, interesting. lol

To Crads:
"Can you say, with certainty, that the laws of Brasil were written with racist intent or merely to protect the general welfare of the nation as a whole?

How interesting! If Europe makes laws to protect its citizens - this is called "xenophobia." Poor Europe have not these laws as well .. "protectionistas." And if Brazil makes this laws - so if it's called "protect nation"?

If a retiree who lives in Germany all worked as a cleaner at a supermarket has her money infinitely smaller than a Brazilian immigrant (Turkish, Polish, whatever) - because she must pay rent of her apartment and health plan and for emigrants the "Socialamt" pays all - that is normal? And when a grandson of these cleaner revolts against the Brazilian (Turkisch, et al) who lives at the expense of Socialamt - this is called xenophobia, "Europe mistreat Brazilians"! But ask for any Brazilian - what they think if Brazil will pay for all for one from Bolivia or Paraguai - they say, "we have our miserable" , "out emigrants!" - this is called 'Nation protect"?!!!!

To GreatBallsoFire:


Yes and wait untill a toothless psyco ex empregada takes you to the communist labor court on false charges.


Yes .. Have false accusations for former employer, for a doctor, etc. here is a national sport ... The "miserable" has free support for lawyers and public process. 80% do not earn anything, because everything is false ... But an employer, doctor, etc. spend a lot of money to clear his name.

Brazil should be more honest and more human, but Brazilians deny this. For them that's OK.

I think that in the case of being naturalized rather than native, that's more biased. I don't think that the constitution is racist because natives are mostly a combination of European, African, South American Indian, Japanese and Middle Eastern. There's nothing about our "race" that prevents us from obtaining those positions. In the U.S., McCain was born in Panama from military parents and he's considered native. Obama was born in Hawaii and he's still suspect for not being an American. As an American with Brazilian residency, I think the U.S. is more racist with our current President. Besides, who wants to be a political figure in this corrupt and bureaucratic country of Brazil?
