MERCOSUR. Immigrants from Neighbouring Countries in Argentina. Integration or Exclusion?

PIZARRO, CYNTHIA ALEJANDRA

Congreso; IX International Scientific and Practical Forum: Migration Bridges in Eurasia: Models for the Effective Management of Migration in the Context of the Development of the Eurasian Integration Project; 2017

We refer to the way in which the MERCOSUR State Parties have addressed immigrants? cultural integration and socio-economic inclusion. We analyze the two approaches to integration: adaptation and multiculturalism, and the integration policies in Argentina. We remark that the spirit of the Migration Law 2004, that guarantees immigrants? human rights and recognizes the importance of those coming from the MERCOSUR countries, has substantially turned into a xenophobic and restrictive perspective, observable in recent amendments.
