How do intermediaries exploit the RNI system and the vulnerability of undocumented Brazilian immigrants to profit from their situation?

The influx of undocumented Brazilian workers in Amsterdam is linked to the EU's visa agreement with Brazil, enabling visa-free entry for 90 days. Exploitation of the RNI system for obtaining BSN numbers and the presence of intermediaries profiting from this vulnerable population contribute to the problem. The perception of better opportunities in the Netherlands, even amidst precarious conditions, deters many from returning to Brazil.

What is the immediate impact of the US tariffs on the Brazilian economy and consumers?

Brazil avoided the worst-case scenario in the trade war initiated by the US, facing a 10% tariff on its products, less than the 20% imposed on the EU. Economists predict some impact on Brazilian consumers, especially if the global economy deteriorates, potentially leading to decreased global demand and impacting all countries. However, long-term, the closure of the American market may redirect trade flows to Brazil, increasing supply and lowering prices.

How does Raphinha's recent rest and the impact of international matches explain his current performance level?

Despite his recent goal drought in La Liga and Copa del Rey, Raphinha's Champions League statistics remain outstanding, suggesting a potential fatigue factor affecting his domestic performance. His recent absence from some matches due to rest and a tough South American qualifier loss might explain the dip in form. The upcoming Champions League match against Dortmund presents an opportunity to regain his scoring touch.

How does the current system for registering non-residents (RNI) contribute to the problem of undocumented workers in the Netherlands?

This situation stems from a loophole in the Registration Non-Residents (RNI) system, where migrants obtain a citizen service number (BSN) without demonstrating legal residency. Many stay beyond the permitted four months, facilitated by a network assisting with BSN acquisition, bank accounts, and employment. This is despite the knowledge of the Ministry of the Interior of the misuse of the RNI system.
