Argentina's President Javier Milei has implemented new immigration restrictions, a significant departure from the country's historically welcoming stance towards immigrants. His decree tightens citizenship requirements, mandates proof of financial means and clean criminal records for residency, and simplifies deportation processes for illegal immigrants. This shift mirrors U.S. immigration policies previously enacted under Donald Trump, leading to a mix of support and criticism from within Argentina. The government's spokesperson framed the changes as necessary for maintaining order and integrity within the country while simultaneously positioning their policies as a call to action to "make Argentina great again."
Milei's decree establishes stricter immigration requirements, limiting citizenship access and making deportations easier, paralleling measures seen during Trump's administration.
The decree requires immigrants to demonstrate clean criminal records and adequate financial means, aiming to curb what the government sees as chaos and abuse.
