I wonder if Chile will experience a population boom as Argentines move there looking for work and economic stability?

All inmigrants are welcome in Chile if they want to work honestly.....Right now we are needing fresh hands to do a lot of works ....
Probably the GDP raise for this year will be more tan expected again....We need to do the most this year if the “people” don´t give the present governing coalition a second chance to carry the country on to the developed country select group......
Already, the useless former president Bachelet is back in Chile, preparing her atack to the Gvt. funds with her croonies again.....It means the whole country will loose all the improvements achieved last 3 years.....returning to a loser way of management suffered the 20 years before 2010......
