Javier Milei tightens Argentina’s immigration rules in nod to Donald Trump
- On Wednesday, Argentina’s conservative leader Javier Milei introduced a new decree aimed at restricting immigration, emphasizing deportations and limiting access to public services.
- The decree responds to perceived leniency that allowed undocumented immigrants and those with minor convictions to remain, with 1.7 million undocumented arrivals cited over 20 years.
- Key measures include requiring health insurance for all entrants, charging foreign nationals for healthcare and certain university services, and tightening residency criteria to proof of income and clean records.
- Spokesperson Manuel Adorni explained that the new initiative is intended to restore stability and rationality to the system, noting that public hospitals spent approximately $100 million last year on medical care for foreign nationals.
- The decree aims to reduce abuse of public resources and expedite deportations, but critics warn it challenges Argentina’s historic openness to immigrants amid political controversy.
