💨 Abstract

Argentina’s right-wing President Javier Milei recently issued a decree tightening immigration policies, drawing criticism and comparisons to Trump's administration. Key changes include stricter citizenship requirements, mandatory income proof and criminal record checks for permanent residency, easier deportations, and charges for foreigners accessing public health and education. The government cited financial and security concerns, while critics worry about Argentina's tradition of welcoming immigrants. The decree also mandates health insurance for all travelers and aims to reduce "health tourism."
