Protest Against Immigration Law In Sao Paulo

In an act organized by the Right-wing movement São Paulo, protesters opposed to the Migration Law protested on May 16, 2017, on Avenida Paulista. The group carried banners with words such as "no to the new migration law", "no to Islamization Of Brazil "and" sovereignty is not negotiated, Brazil first ". The group argues that the congress would be "legislating against the Brazilian people, creating laws that open the nation's doors to terrorism." On April 18, the Senate approved the draft of the new Migration Law, which repeals the Alien Statute, 1980 legislation from the military regime. In the text, rights and duties of migrants are defined in Brazil, regulating the entry and stay of foreigners. Among the changes is the bureaucracy to regulate foreigners who live and work in national territory. After pressure from the Ministry of Defense, Office of Institutional Security and Federal Police, President Michel Temer (PMDB) decided to veto part of the project. (Photo by Cris Faga/NurPhoto)
