Actually if you read the legend which explains the data you are looking at (which is generally a good idea when reading data so that you know how to interpret it) you will see that what is being recorded is the number of people who go past the Brazilian ID control vs the people that go past the International ID control. In other words, the numbers for international arrivals are only counting those that do not have Brazilian ID, residency Visas, etc. It does not count the number of bodies arriving on international flights. So as I said earlier, if you count those people it would increase the number of international arrivals, not decrease them.
