América is a Brazilian telenovela that went on the air in 2005. It's broadcast by TV Globo. The telenovela focuses on illegal imigrants in the United States. It stars Deborah Secco and Murilo Benício. It's written by Glória Perez and directed by Jayme Monjardim.

Brazilians are illegally entering the United States in record numbers in hopes of finding jobs and better lives -- just like characters in a wildly popular Brazilian soap opera "America." The number of undocumented Brazilians caught on U.S. soil is set to rise over four fold this year from 2004 -- a much bigger increase than for illegal immigrants from other Latin American countries, according to U.S. officials. As authorities search for factors spurring the exodus, they have begun to look at the passion of Brazil's poor for "America," a soap opera that debuted in early March and shows illegal immigrants risking their lives to enter the United States to find jobs and romance amid the hardship.
