Popis: The proposal of this article was reflected in the place of memory occupied by the (i)migratory politics of Brazil and its reflections in the media discourses. In order to do so, studies on a Brazilian legislation that were in force during the end of the 19th century were contemplated, as well as the transformations occurring until the present day, the central focus is the international immigratory flows. It was also selected news reports on immigrant groups in the present, intersecting a critique of the decrees and laws examined with the media discourses. In order to do so, a comparative analysis was carried out, observing consonants and dissonants points in the legislation of the past that still emerges in the present, by the current legal instrument, and / or media narratives.
