‘Big crisis’: Kast’s immigration agenda brings uncertainty to Chile’s north
AI Summary
Following Jose Antonio Kast's election as Chile's president, uncertainty surrounds the future of immigration in the northern Arica y Parinacota region. Kast, who campaigned on a tough anti-immigration platform, warned irregular immigrants to leave Chile before his inauguration in March. Arica y Parinacota, bordering Peru and Bolivia, serves as a common entry point for migrants and has experienced increased organized crime, a key issue in Kast's campaign. Despite Kast's warnings, residents report continued immigration, potentially driven by migrants seeking entry before his policies take effect. The region is divided on whether Kast's strict approach will solve existing problems or exacerbate tensions.
