The problem is not just that they are refused entry- they are incensed more by the video evidence of the treatment they receive- left for hours with no food or water, and abuse by the Spanish Police in Madrid airpport. Last week there were days of TV reports and newspaper reports.
You are quite right - the Brasilians often do not return and stay illegally in Europe, so do tend to get questioned more. The do not deserve to be treated worse than animals!
