Worried, frustrated immigrants headed back home to Brazil
The 51-year-old Brazilian man came with plans to stay here for up to six years to save enough money to buy a house in Brazil, two cars for his daughters and secure a life back home.
But after three years of calling Framingham home, the man has decided to go back to Brazil with only part of his dreams fulfilled mainly because, he said, living as an illegal immigrant doesn’t pay off anymore.
“It’s not worth it,” said the man, who doesn’t want to be identified for fear of deportation. “It was good when I first got here, when the money I made here had more value back home. Now it’s not worth all the suffering. That’s why I’m leaving.”He is not the only one.
