Abstract
In the last decades, Brazil has received about 2,1 million immigrants, according to the Federal Police. In this contingency, migration flows from Latin America, Caribbean and West African coast can be highlighted, represented respectively by Haitians, Cubans, Venezuelans, Bolivians, Senegalese and Ghanaians. Thus, this paper will discuss the role of Brazilian Foreign Policy, as a legal tool to coordinate Brazil’s immigration agenda and it aims to present the possibilities of the practical application of public policies for immigrants and refugees in the country based on the ethical challenges encountered by the Brazilian State and by the immigrants themselves, vis-à-vis to the foregoing context. Also, the paper will also present a brief immigration overview of Brazil, as well as launching for debate the concept of Brazilian Foreign Policy for Migrants and Refugees and its ethical challenges and delimitations in the Brazilian migration governance.
