Mexico 'no-visa' policy led to increase in Brazilian migration to U.S.
Though Mexico's decision to allow Brazilians into the country without visas was intended to promote tourism and business, it led to a sharp increase in the number of Brazilians using the country as an entry point for illegal immigration into the United States. The policy, implemented 5 years ago, will now be revoked at the urging of U.S. officials. (Los Angeles Times)
