description: A massive wave of immigration is currently sweeping across the US How do new immigrants assimilate, specifically the Brazilians in New York City? These immigrants are not fleeing dire poverty or political repression; rather, they are from middle and lower-class families, many who are well-educated. Why is this? Get the answers in this new book. This book discusses how Brazilians became the undocumented immigrants in America; how they secured visas to come to the US; how they entered the country, and what it was like to live "out of status," that is as an immigrant who is working in this country illegally. Sociologists and anthropologists. Part of the New Immigrants Series.
