The Senate approved in particular and sent the Migration and Aliens Law to the third constitutional process.
There, modifications to the initiative must be approved or rejected. In the event of the former, the bill will be in a position to become law.
Otherwise, a Mixed Commission must be constituted to settle the differences between the congressmen.
In the discussion this day, the indication of the Senate Finance Committee, which established that the foreign person could regulate their immigration status up to a period of 90 days after the law was published, was rejected.
Instead, the Interior Government proposal was voted on, which establishes a deadline in the past, and in this case September 1, 2019, with 180 days to regularize the situation. In other words, only those who have arrived in the country illegally, before that date, will be able to regulate their immigration status in Chile.
The undersecretary of the Interior, Juan Galli, valued the progress of a law that adjusts “to the migration of the XXI century.”
“Our current immigration legislation dates from 1975,” recalled the government official. “It was clearly not taking charge of the phenomenon of migration in a time of globalization,” he added.
