The harsh expulsion policies for foreigners that have been adopted by Donald Trump in the United States have the rest of the countries in Latin America on alert. Experts fear that this could provoke new massive migratory movements toward other countries in the region, including Chile.
To discuss the issue, on ‘What’s New’ we spoke with Pilar Lizana, a security expert and researcher at Athenalab, who warned that it is logical that if the United States tightens its immigration policy, those who previously sought asylum in North America will inevitably turn their attention to other places:
“If it is taking these types of actions, people looking to leave their countries will obviously seek other places with opportunities… We must prepare, because we know that our capacity to receive migrants is at its limit. We are aware that there are groups engaged in human trafficking that could take advantage of this opportunity.”
