According to Wikipedia, there are 15 - 21 million Arabs or people of Arab descent living in Brazil.  Latin America has the largest Arab population outside of the Arab world. 

Does anyone know why and when they got there?

As you know most of Latin America received immigrants historically. I guess that's basically the long and short of it; the Immigration Act of 1924 meant that the U.S. wasn't too open for emigrants from the near east and so they went to Brazil and to other parts of Latin America. Apparently Venezuela has the most Druze of anywhere outside of the Levant.

I mean sure, but what were the push/pull factors that led so many Arab immigrants to settle in Latin America?  why would they go there instead of Europe?
