Through an application the process of identification and submission of foreign nationals will be simplified.The Mauricio Macri government will implement a plan of immigration control measures from next month, based on a mobile phone application for public agents who will detect foreigners without the required documentation.
The novelty will be accompanied by a system to regularize their situation through archiving. The goal is to make them whiter or to remove them from the country if they do not, or if they have a criminal record.
Since the government took office in December 2015, the government has placed 530,000 foreign nationals, has expelled 1,200 for crimes and other causes, and 600 proceedings are under way.
The Minister of the Interior, Rogelio Frigerio, presented the program to Macri, who gave the order to extend it to all security forces. The national director of Migrations, Horacio García, is looking for immigrants to pay taxes for the services and rights the state gives them.
"We fight illegal immigration, not illegal immigrants, and it is necessary to launder them as a condition for them to have access to the services and rights granted by the country," Totó García told LA NACION.
In the event that they do not agree with regularization within 30 days after being detected as illegal, or in the case of a criminal record in their country or in Argentina, the removal process, which is reduced from four years to four months, starts after decree 70/2017.
According to figures from Migrations, the Venezuelans led the settlements until 2018, even above the Bolivians and Paraguayans, who historically led the index of migratory flows. Since January, 25,445 Venezuelans (25.04%), 24,429 Paraguayans (24.04%), 18,827 Bolivians (19.5%), 8,889 Peruvians (8.75%), 8,063 Colombians (7.94%) and 14,951 located. from other countries (14.71%). Total: 100,604 applications.
The first step of the control plan for illegal immigrants will be to submit an application in September for mobile phones of health agents, security, police, gendarmes and provincial police, among others. The device will make it possible to know the migration situation of a foreigner: if it has a permanent residence permit, a temporary tourist visa or a non-regular visa. It also detects whether it has no border registration at the border through a border crossing.
In a demonstration Garcia made in the last days, he put the name of the Ecuadorian presidential adviser Jaime Duran Barba and the application resulted in "temporary stay".
According to immigration officials, when a foreigner with illegal income is identified as a traveler traveling near a border crossing, he can be expelled in flagrant delicto until he has obtained his legal access. In case of illegality, residents will have a period of 30 days to settle. Cases are usually found in hospitals, where they are visited: doctors can detect them with the application of their mobile phone.
The application will enter the name, nationality and date of birth of the foreign national, and access to their immigration status, the last three entry and exit from the country and the background. "If they use a public hospital or public services, they have to pay taxes to the state," García said.
In order to establish itself, Migrations will launch another system of external regularization in September, via the internet, which will replace the process of long queues and state bureaucracy. On the Migrations website, the interested party will start the procedure in the link of Radex (Remote Filing or Foreigners). You must enter biographical information, photos of your residence certificates and criminal records of the country of origin and pay the fee: $ 3,000 for citizens of Mercosur and $ 6,000 for extra-Mercosur.
The process ends at the Migration head office that matches your address for the fingerprints and the photo, after which the DNI is sent to you. The entire procedure should, if it is normal, take a week. "In the last 15 years many foreigners who received help from the state, in health or education, without paying taxes, everything has to be regular, with rights and duties," said an official source.
"It can not be that it will not be taxed Today, regularization does not feel like a necessity The rights and benefits of the state must have the same status for Argentines and foreigners," the official added to LA NACION.
In the regularization Migrations will ask the professional activity of origin to link it to the demand for work in Argentina. In Río Negro the agency discovered a demand for 43 doctors. "Then Venezuelan doctors will go, but the Argentinians also found out and went", said an official official.
In the coming days, the Argentine center of engineers will conduct a survey of 6700 Venezuelan engineers who have recently been admitted and who can be placed on the local market. 93% of them have no problems going inside. 80% of the 530,000 immigrants have settled in the city of Buenos Aires since 2015 and in the first cordon of the conurbano.
