International Migration as a Political Theme Between the Years 2010-2017 in Brazil

Abstract

Brazil is inserted in a migratory dynamic while origin, passage and destination of migratory movements. In this context, the increase of entry numbers compared to the second half of the twentieth century, the diversity of origin of these migrants, the closing of borders of former hostlands and the ease of entering the country, combined with the notoriety that acquired in the International System in recent years, has made the country to face a new reality. The Rousseff government faced a scenario in which emerged the first reflections of the entry of Haitians, as well as other groups, such as the Syrians and Venezuelans, as well as Asian and African locales, which also had an increase in the entry of their nationals into the Brazil. This situation continued during Temer's administration and this evidenced the inadequacy of Brazilian migration policy and imposed on governments to take measures to try to establish a bias of action based on human rights and in the constitutional dictates. The methodology used consults the pre-existing academic literature together with the collection and analysis of official documents, as well as media reports on the subject at the national and international levels.
