Syrians congregate near mosques like this one in Sao Paulo
This is an interesting article about how Syrians are going to Brazil.
Some love it, some don’t. They say it’s expensive to live with no social services available. Some want to move on to Europe.
And, one problem with life there we are told is that the warm and friendly Brazilians don’t understand why Muslims don’t want to be hugged or shake hands.
TheGuardian gives a jab at the US by pointing out that Brazil has taken more Syrian refugees than we have.
José Antonio Meade, Mexico’s Secretary of External Relations: Sure, we might take some Syrians from Lebanon! (This must be a joke!)
As Mexico happily unloads its poor on America and allows Central Americans easy passage through Mexico so they too can ‘benefit’ from US generosity, the government of Mexico is considering becoming a recipient of impoverished Syrian refugees (and most will be Muslims).
They think they might like to follow in Uruguay’s footsteps (we already know the Uruguay experiment is failing,see here).
MEXICO CITY, Mexico – After a high-level meeting between the representatives of Mexico and Lebanon, the world’s largest Spanish-speaking country could follow in the footsteps of fellow Latin American nation Uruguay by accepting Syrians fleeing from the unrest in their homeland from overburdened refugee camps in Lebanon.
The Lebanese Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants, Gebran Bassil, was in Mexico City for a meeting with his Mexican counterpart, José Antonio Meade, to “solidify political dialogue at the highest level” and “strengthen the ties of friendship and cooperation” that unite the two countries.

Meade acknowledged that the impact this sort of encumbrance has on a nation is “huge,” both in terms of the economy and society as a whole. Lebanon should be noted and praised for its “generosity, dedication and international commitment to this massive humanitarian issues.”
Secondly, the Middle Eastern country should be lauded for its “expressions of support for any measure of help that becomes available from any point of view,” according to Meade, who then added that “Mexico is open to the reception of refugees.”

If Mexico does go ahead with the acceptance of Syrian refugees, it would make it the second Latin American nation to officially do so after Uruguay.
And, if they have the resources for Syrian refugees, why didn’t they take care of all those ‘Unaccompanied alien children’ (the so-called refugees) who passed through Mexico last summer?
We have been writing ad nauseum about the ‘Invasion of Europe’ via primarily the Mediterranean Sea, and now thankfully so is much of the mainstream media. Thanks to all who sent this story — ISIS wants to flood Europe with 500,000 through North Africa to Italy.
However, here is a new angle on the invasion:
Traffickers moving Syrians and Iraqis through Brazil to Europe!
The Federal Police is investigating a people trafficking route through Brazil for Syrians and Iraqis fleeing war and persecution in their home countries.
The refugees, who use false passports, are trying to arrive in Europe. Part of them are fleeing the war in Syria. The other, persecution at the hands of the militant group Islamic State (Isis).
The suspicion is that some of the false documents are being produced in Rio, and there are concerns that federal police officers may be involved in the scheme.
Officially, the Federal Police says it is investigating “the possibility that there may be some kind of logistical support to people traffickers in Brazil.”
The police say that at least 60 people used or attempted to use false passports – most of which were Israeli – to leave the country in recent months.
Look at this complicated route at right!
Apparently the two countries facilitating travel to Brazil are the UAE and Turkey!
Notice that one route takes them through Brazil to Uruguay and then back to Brazil!
Legitimate refugees are not going to have the resources or the savvy to pull something like this off.
And, what is to stop them from heading to the wide-open US southern border?
For our ‘Invasion of Europe’ series go here. And, we have just made a new category ‘South America’ as we are increasingly seeing ‘refugee’ news from there.
