    Let’s hope he doesn’t find himself in a situation such that he must clamp down on emigration

    >President Javier Milei is tightening up Argentina’s immigration laws as part of his effort to further pare back public spending, making another nod to close ally Donald Trump in the process.

    >Government spokesman Manuel Adorni unveiled an executive order Wednesday that mandates citizenship be made available only to immigrants who spend two uninterrupted years in Argentina — or those who make a “relevant investment.” Permanent residency, meanwhile, will be awarded only to those with “sufficient means” and no criminal record.

    >Argentina has long welcomed immigrants with relatively open arms, even offering free health care and education to foreign residents. But Milei’s government started to reverse that last year, allowing public universities to charge tuition to non-residents.

    >“Today we have a migration policy that invites chaos and abuse by a lot of rascals, who are far from coming to live in the country in an honorable way to build a prosperous future,” Adorni told reporters in Buenos Aires. “It’s time to honor our history and make Argentina great again.”

    >In the last 20 years, 1.7 million foreigners immigrated informally, Adorni said. Immigrant use of public hospitals has cost the state 114 billion pesos ($100 million), he added. From now on, foreigners will need health insurance to access services.

    1.7 Millions in 20 years is like Poles in the UK level bs

    of course, immigration has had absolutely no role in making Argentina the country it is today. Really, of all the countries in the world you could invoke this about, it might be one of the dumbest.
