Wherever you look, we are showing the way: "While many US policymakers have focused on channelling migrants’ remittances to help develop businesses at home, Mr Lima believes the money would be better spent by allowing Brazilians to integrate more successfully into the US. To that end, he is working with the mayor´s office, local philanthropists and US and Brazilian banks to develop a fund that would pay for English classes or other training for the Brazilian community."

Álvaro Lima, a Brazilian adviser to Thomas Menino, Boston’s mayor, says that Massachusetts’ Brazilian population of 80,000-85,000 has formed more than 1,000 businesses, a rate, he says, that is three times higher than that of the native US population.

Tribalism never went away with all the indoctrination of religion or communism or with all the temptations of capitalism. And it returns as soon as the other "isms" collapse. Tribalism is the more natural state.

>Tribalism, communism, free-loading and confiscation have never been a good way to run things. That's why such places went by the wayside.>
