Bolivians in Brazil are individuals of full, partial, or predominantly Bolivian ancestry, or a Bolivian-born person residing in Brazil. The governments of Bolivia and Brazil have begun to develop an agreement to regularize the situation of several thousand undocumented Bolivian immigrants in Brazil.[2] According to estimates by the Ministry's of Latin American immigrants and the National Association of Immigrants from Brazil more than 200,000 Bolivians are working illegally in São Paulo.[3][4]
Nowadays, the Bolivians constitute the biggest group of foreigners living in the country, with an estimated 350,000 Bolivian nationals currently living in Brazil.[5]
History
[edit]Bolivians started coming to Brazil in small numbers during the 1950s, with current levels of immigration beginning in the 1980s. The numbers vary according to the source, but it is a fact that the information given by the media is very different from academic and official estimates.[6]
Demographics
[edit]About 40% of Bolivians go to the city of São Paulo, around 10% of Bolivians go to the city of Rio de Janeiro, and the border cities of Corumbá (Mato Grosso do Sul) and Guajará-Mirim (Rondônia) receive about 5% of the total each.[7] Ethnographic reports have found that Bolivians in Corumbá are regularly subject to racial discrimination.[8]
