Migrants in Puerto Montt find it necessary to ask for help on the street, after traveling thousands of kilometers from Venezuela and finding themselves in the south of the world, without networks, without work and in complete illegality.
They are complete families, with children in tow or lonely men who have arrived in the capital of Los Lagos, where presumably a relative was waiting for them. Now, they hope to continue south in search of better opportunities.
Leaving the warmth of Caracas and its surroundings for the cold of the south has its impact both for them and for the community of Puerto Rico.
The pandemic and the closure of opportunities do their thing with those who also find themselves without documents in improper territory, where, on many occasions, they are frowned upon, insulted and ignored and, sometimes, helped, because there will always be a Chilean or other outsider who leaves a coin or buys a product from them.
They are unable to work, since without papers you can’t do much. People who are without documents are not hired and the punishment is harsh for those who dare to use them.
This creates obvious complications. This was related by a young Venezuelan, who asks for help from passersby outside the Llanquihue Government.
He left the Caribbean country about six months ago. He is 20 years old, he passed through Colombia, Peru and is excited to remember his four and two year old children, whom wants to bring if it manages to stabilize in Chile, since it does not even help to send them.
He is a carpenter, sometimes he sleeps in his tent and he reported himself to the authorities, but Only on February 13 has an appointment at the PDI.
Yeferson’s case
Yeferson entered the country a month ago, along with his daughter and her partner. They did not quarantine in Arica as everyone is supposed to comply with. Meanwhile, he came to Puerto Montt, looking for better opportunities.
Count that they must have slept in the bus terminal, when it is not enough for a lodging, since they do not want to bother.
He was a dubbing producer, he says he worked at RCTV until it was shut down by the Maduro government.
His wife studied management and worked at Chevrolet Venezuela as an accountant, but the salaries just weren’t enough. About 100 days ago he left his Caracas behind.
They will be expelled
Radio Bío Bío consulted the Ministry of the Interior, with Governor Leticias Oyarce who responded for the situations that are being experienced in Puerto Montt.
The authority said that they will be expelled from Chile. “They do not have the possibility of regularizing their papers,” added the authority.
The removal process can take up to six months and in some cases the NHRI has begun to arrange shelters, but others are rejected.
As long as the administrative process is not complied with or advances, it is understood that these people are left to their own devices. Illegal, being exploited for work in Peru, deceived by the so-called “coyotes” in the Chilean desert and with little or no support to the south of the world.
