Argentina Under Milei Announces Immigration Reforms: Foreigners to Pay for Health and Education, Criminals Face Deportation
Dec 3, 2024, 05:52 PM
Argentine President Javier Milei announced significant reforms to the country's immigration policies on December 3, aiming to tighten border controls and reduce fiscal expenditures. The government will allow universities and hospitals to charge fees to foreign non-resident students and patients, ending the longstanding policy of free education and healthcare for foreigners. The reforms include the automatic expulsion of foreign criminals and prohibit entry to those using fraudulent documents. The administration emphasizes that these changes are intended to create a more orderly immigration system that prioritizes the needs of Argentine residents. In response, Buenos Aires province Governor Axel Kicillof stated that hospitals in the province will continue to provide free healthcare to foreigners.
