You clearly went full wishful thinking here. What is preventing those tens of millions of Brazilian professionals to move to the US, Canada or Europe today?
They have a good life and good salaries down there, that's why they are not moving today nor will tomorrow, unless the country goes through a total collapse.

New Zealand, France, Ireland, United Kingdom, even the United States.

South American migration is essentially irrelevent to U.S., excepting NYC and Miami. You meet very few South Americans in the U.S. outside those two cities.

Shrinking countries will send always shrinking numbers of immigrants. That's mathematics, it's not open to discussion.
The United States will need 2 million immigrants/year to keep growing at current rates for the next decades.
Could you tell us where will you pull those "talented" 2 million?
