BRASILIA (Reuters) – Angry residents of a Brazilian border town, Pacaraima, ran riot and drove out Venezuelan immigrants on Saturday after a local restaurant owner was stabbed and beaten, residents and government officials said.

The demonstrations forced hundreds of Venezuelans to flee back across the frontier on foot and residents set fire to the belongings they left behind and to tires to block the only road crossing between the two countries, video images released by the state of Roraima government showed.

The outburst of anger was sparked by the robbery and severe beating of a resident in his home on Friday night, Roraima state security secretary Giuliana Castro said by telephone.

After crossing back into their country, Venezuelans attacked a group of 30 Brazilians who were shopping across the border and who had to be taken to a shelter, Castro said.

Kick Ass!

One would think that "humanitarian reasons" would be the exact reason FOR closing the border to all of the influx of immigrants into Brazil.  After all.... the legal citizens of Brazil are humans too, aren't they?  Don't they count at all?  Looks like the same open borders liberal idiots have infested Brazil's government, too.

The Roraima government has declared the immigration influx a social crisis and asked Brazil’s federal government to close the border, which it will not do for humanitarian reasons.

It looks like the burden for a federal policy is falling on the border communities. That's not very humanitarian.

No, it's not.   Reeks a bit of hypocrisy.   The same brand that we've seen from politicians right here in the USA for the past decades.
