Are there many portuguese speaking immigrants coming into the U.S.?

Along with Spanish, Portuguese is one of the top ten most spoken languages in the world.  French is at the end of the list with Portuguese at number eight.\n\nYes, portuguese is an incredible language.  If you are a native English speaker with knowledge of Spanish, then you are fine tuned for picking up Portuguese and swallowing it whole!!!\n\nI love portuguese, there are various portuguese communities in the US (New Jersey for example), and yes Brazil is South America's largest and most economically promising country.  They are projected to be increasing for awhile.\n\nBrazilians are such incredibly warm people, you'll have a great time learning Portuguese\n\nIn high school there are always Brazilian exchange students.  the poor brazilians would love to come to US, but it is such a long way.  there certainly won't be an influx of Brazilians comparable to the mexican influx, but still, if you like travel and languages and think you might find yourself in south america or africa then portuguese is the way to go.

Yes many times. Being Hispanic in South U.S. is not a good thing. The latest thing that has happened was that an old man was walking out of a store and I opened the door for him he looked at me, turned his head and opened the other door. I felt offended.

You'd think so, wouldn't you, Gary?\n\nKinda takes some doing, though; because we've got around 60 % of the population that doesn't speak English.\n\nIn fact, around 40% speak Spanish!\n\nThough they can all speak fluent American when they want to, they can suddenly turn "No hablo inglese." at the drop of a hat!?\n\nSo, I guess you know where the Asker is coming from, now.

Of course there is, or else who would teach all of us immigrants proper english! It is true that there are language centers but believe me it is ESL that really teaches someone how to talk properly and build up confidence in the new language they'll probably use for the rest of their lives!

All and most came here legally.  It took time but my grandparents did it.  They did not want to begin their life in a new country starting out illegally.  Yes, they had the opportunity to come here illegally.\n\nThe American Indian migrated here from Asia.

People who are Spanish come from Spain, and they are not part of the campaign you speak of (almost all Spanish people come to the US with visas and proper immigration papers). Perhaps you are thinking of MEXICANS and other Latinos who insist on making the immigration issue one based on race.

Oh, yes, I have heard people speaking Spanish, German, Russian, Italian, French, Japanese, Creole, Latin.\nNow ask a serious question. Enough with the jokes

About 14 million people immigrated to the U.S. between 1910-1920, with the pace slowing considerably in the mid-to-late-1910s because of World War I. The most immigrants came from Italy, with other southern and eastern European countries such as Germany making up the remainder. Very few people came from Asian, South American, or African nations due to immigration quotas.

The correct answer is everywhere. There were alot irish and italians in New York if you watch the movie Gangs of New York or Bronx Tale. The spaniards were originally the first people I believe so you can say we're all spanish? lol I dunno. I know I'm right in here somewhere.

portuguese were big traders in asia.  perhaps it comes from them.

I would love to visit Brazil!  My mother immigrated to the US from there in 1958--she has lots of family still there and I would love to visit them.  Until then, I have to be content in making brigadieros, visiting rodezio and having an occasional guarana!  Caio!

Boa idea de perguntar isto num site Americano... hehehe\nBut YES, you need a Visa for Portugal if you want to stay for more than 3 months. Then when you are in Portugal you have the right to visit all EU countries but you will not have the right to live in any other EU country..

Actually there are not many. Most Blacks are just plain ol' Americans now like, most other people who came from other Countries. I do have Friends from Chad and Zimbabwe who hold Duel Citizenship and live here in America. Not really sure how you could research this, but, they are actual African Americans I would Assume. IF, you could find a Statistic on these people you could get a relative number. Also, if, your specific there are White African Americans most came from South Africa.\nIF, you looking for a Census of Black Americans only try here; http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/race/black.html\nThis up to 2004, best I could find.

The Spanish and Portuguese.

This is the USA.   English is the primary language, the second is decided by the country of origin.   No one made the current Hispanic immigrants come to the US.  They came for the opportunities as did people from cultures around the world.  America is made up of hundreds of nationalities so why should the Hispanic culture think they are the primary language.   If they don't like what they "see", then go home to the country they so quickly escaped.

I have a very good impression of Italian people. They seem to be very nice, friendly and outgoing. I think that they have a lot in common with us Brazilians.

Yes...there are many. Its really just a matter of location. If the US were in Asia we would be flooded with Chinese. Seems the INS isn't able to find and deport other foreign nationals either.
