Brazil has a large population of Japanese origin, so Japan did a program of taking immigrants from here at the 90's. And well, today our institutions refuse to collaborate with any other such program.

Their society is very closed, allowing immigrants to take only very low paid low value works. Immigrants have almost no possibility of growth, and very a very bad set of labor rights (apparently everybody has this later problem, even though the set of rights for Japanese and immigrants is different, one does not seem to be strictly worse than the other).

The result of the immigration at the 90's was that people came back worse-off than they gone.
