President Javier Milei of Argentina is enacting stricter immigration laws. This is part of his broader effort to reduce public spending. The move also aligns with policies of his ally, Donald Trump.
Government spokesman Manuel Adorni announced the executive order on Wednesday. Citizenship will now require two uninterrupted years of residency or a 'relevant investment.' Permanent residency will be granted only to those with 'sufficient means' and a clean criminal record.
