Chief Kirchnerite Senator calls for an end on naivety regarding immigration
Miguel Angel Pichetto, chairman of the Victory Front (FPV) in the Upper House, said Wednesday that Argentina has always worked “as a social adjustment tool for crime in Bolivia and Peru.”“How much misery can Argentina put up with by receiving poor immigrants?” Pichetto said in a TV interview.

Disclaimer & comment rulesIf I remember correctly, certain posters....Troll boy especilially has railed against the UK for being xenophobic.
Nov 03rd, 2016 - 10:15 am - Link - Report abuse +2From where I stand, Pichetto seems to be exhibiting all the characteristics of a xenophobe. However, silly me, only ANGLOS -stupid racist word -are capable of this whereas the whole world knows that Argenzuelans are not.
Yes, indeed silly YOU... you call the views of this politician those of a xenophobe, but the exact same words are those which are OFFICIAL BRUTISH current government policy (wanting to restrict immigration, wanting business to hand “foreign worker lists”, cutting UK benefits to EU member citizens). But NOT ONCE did I see you here calling those views the X word.
Nov 03rd, 2016 - 10:48 am - Link - Report abuse -6Yet here, at the first article in probably decades where an Argentine politician has openly broached what is widely known in Argentina (that you can't have a welfare system with open borders and no taxes), you immediately use the X word.
So yes, you are both a hypocrite and using a complete double standard. Criticizing these views by this senator, which are the exact same views of the Theresa May gov.
Anglos will be Anglos, of course.
Actually this guy's complaints sound pretty reasonable. Why is Argentina providing free education to foreign nationals if they don't reciprocate? They ought to adopt the UK model of charging foreign students through the nose to subsidise domestic ones, then letting them stay afterwards and contribute to the economy. It's win-win.
Nov 03rd, 2016 - 11:22 am - Link - Report abuse +5On the other hand that 'social adjustment tool for crime in Bolivia and Peru' stuff does sound rather like something UKIP would say, so he does seem a little xenophobic.
Demon Tree of course does not know that the world's largest paraguayan city is Buenos Aires.
Nov 03rd, 2016 - 11:31 am - Link - Report abuse -5That 1 in 7 Bolivians in the world live in Argentina.
That 2+ million non-Bolivian, non-Paraguayan immigrants have been made citizens in multiple amnesties over the decades (1980s amnesty, Menem's amnesty, K's Patria Grande).
It is true many times in public hospitals foreigners are the majority. And not just the poor ones, a surprising number of backpackers make use of them (go to Lonely Planet for proof).
I really have no problem providing for education for anyone who wants to study hard, but base it on grades. Then health care, only for argentines. Foreigners need to pay up, sorry.
No, I did not know that. Is that the real reason you want to ban all foreigners from the country?
Nov 03rd, 2016 - 12:03 pm - Link - Report abuse +2And does Argentina really provide free health care to anyone? If foreigners are working in the country and paying taxes, then it makes sense for them to be covered, but obviously visitors and tourists do not need to be. Who created this policy anyway?
No. Just because they are meanies.

Troll boy
Nov 03rd, 2016 - 05:05 pm - Link - Report abuse +5You continually call us xenophobes.
What is the word to describe what Pichetto is saying ?
Xenophobia !
You have denied any xenophobia in YOUR country and you have advocated closing your borders and getting rid of ALL non Argentinians. That, my little Troll is a definition of xenophobia. Suck on it !
From a happily hybrid sassenach Anglo who occasionally eats turnips.
Cannot disagree with Pichetto's comments - after all, why should foreigners, looking for advantages, be subsidized the the local population ? and this makes sense in any country. When people, believing they are 'smart', start to abuse the system, that's when the trouble begins. It's very easy to confuse the reason for being against free tuition and medical services for foreigners, with xenophobia, when deep down it's really about the cost to the taxpayer. I don't think anyone is being targeted merely because of their nationailty, but rather because they enter the country with the intention of sponging off the system ; if they paid their way, the question wouldn't even arise.
Nov 03rd, 2016 - 05:10 pm - Link - Report abuse +3The K's allowed the poor Bolivians in to buy their votes and stay in power. A few handouts to former residents of the poorest SoAm country bought them many votes.
Nov 03rd, 2016 - 06:47 pm - Link - Report abuse +2As for foreigners from developed countries using the public hospitals of Argentina, I don't think so. Even Argentines don't want to use their public hospitals. Under CFK they barely had enough equipment to function and Argentines would queue from dawn to get attention.
If you are prepared to pay it is another story and since most backpackers have cheap travel insurance they can access the private tier of healthcare.
BsAs University has something like 300,000 students, a lot of them foreign. Most don't actually attend classes at all but use it as an excuse to pick up casual work in the capital.

The poor Bolivians in Argentina are, not suprsingly, poor Bolivians who, for the most part, have been granted a permanent legal residence by the Kirchner adminisration...
The poor Paraguayans in Argentina are, not suprsingly, poor Paraguayans who, for the most part, have been granted a permanent legal residence by the Kirchner adminisration...
The poor Peruvians in Argentina are, not suprsingly, poor Peruvians who, for the most part, have been granted a permanent legal residence by the Kirchner adminisration...
The poor Chileans in Argentina are, not suprsingly, poor Chileans who, for the most part, have been granted a permanent legal residence by the Kirchner adminisration...
About 99% of this new documented permanent legal residents in Argentina from Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru, Chile et al..., are still citizens of their respective Countries, also...: NOT Argentinean citizens...
Not being Citizens of Argentina, they DO NOT have the right to vote in the Argentinean presidential election...
Can some wise Anglo or otherwise in here explain to me which vote could the Kirchners buy from these people to stay in power?

“We don't think we are breaking their law -- we think they are misinterpreting it,” he said. “I'm confident it won't come to anything draconian.”
Say it ain't so, the BRITISH ever admitting any wrongdoing, ever admitting they are on the wrong side of an argument?
This is essentially, why I am anti-British, forget all else. I just deep down have a deep rejection and intolerance for anyone or anything that claim they are always right, or claim always have been right,or claim always will be right; that anyone else is / was/ will be wrong, and who never want to compromise.
Fool me once: The British want the EU to drop all barriers to trade, while they are free to put all all barriers of movement. (no compromise)
Fool me twice: The British want to be treated completely different from everyone else, and want everyone but them to have to follow the rules.

The Argies pay whilst the Chileans don't. The reciprocity is in the quality of the degree obtained. Free degrees from lowest ranked universities on the continent versus expensive degrees from the highest ranked.
Funny that, because I don't see any Chilean university as the highest ranked in the southern cone, let alone south America, forget the “continent” of America.

@Demon Tree, Think
Nov 05th, 2016 - 12:22 am - Link - Report abuse +3Yes. ElaineB is right. And I could attest this with my own experience. Back in '93 I lost my DNI and a bussiness trip to Paraguay just turned up for the next week.
I stated that situation to my boss, then he talked to someone , then I showed up at a back door in the then national registry office (Back then they were still located in “Cangallo” street). I only had with me a piece of paper from a nearby police station, in which I had stepped in just during the previous evening to denounce my lost piece of documentation. No birth certificate whatsoever!!
Hold on. It gets funnier than that ...
I had my DNI next morning. I just went into that office again. With a 4x4 picture. Sticked my thumb with ink, payed 160 pesos (one to one usd backed then) and happily went through the border (No passport needed for Mercosur).
@Think,
You must be aware that our people is so fanatic about civic rights that they are willing togo in and vote even when their dead.
Plus, there were thousands of reports of irregularities. You do have a very selective memory. Don't you remember La Campora and Quebracho thugs threatening to burn the trucks that carried the ballot boxes? A judge had to intervene to safeguard them.
Isn't it curious that Scioli started to climb just after midnight ... when most people had already gone to sleep?
As to why the current administration hasn't digged into this matter, my bet is that there was a last minute truse, deal , what have you ...
Just a piece of advice my friend. Don't believe everything you read on the internet. Either you are dumb or are pretty good at playing dumb.
Everyone knows there are easily a couple of million (some say as high as 4 million if you go back all the way to the 1970s), of people who never even went through the proper channels for documentation. Easily 5-10% of the total population has this kind of background.
Nov 05th, 2016 - 01:03 am - Link - Report abuse -3I always found it very suspicious that while up and down economic cycles happen in ALL countries, it is ONLY in Argentina that the Villa Miserias keep “multiplying”. I don't care how bad any downturn is, that discrepancy between Argentina and the rest of Latin America and the world can't be just explained by growth and recession cycles. There most be some supply of new citizens to those places, from somewhere, and poor provinces lie Santiago del Estero and Chaco don't have enough population (2 million combined), to account for all of it.

@Demon Tree
Nov 05th, 2016 - 05:15 pm - Link - Report abuse +1It sure is if you look for the right people. Granted that over the years new technology has been implemented and things go faster (20 years ago if you went thru the regular procedure, you'd have to wait for the DNI 20 to 30 days, passports doubled that time in most cases)
What hasn't changed is the data verification process. To get a DNI as a citizen, you have have to show up with a certified copy of your birth certificate plus a residence address certificate. These critical pieces of paper can easily be forged or ignored if you are willing to pay 10 times the money.
So it doesn't really matter if you implement a new and fancy electronic id card or whatever if the very evidence of your citizenship or residency isn't properly verified.

Who do you “Think” feeds the electronic registry? The systems in place can be tampered leaving no trace. An inside job if you will.
Demon Tree,
Identity theft is as bad as anywhere else. The verification of a birth certificate is done against the original copy of the local registry where you were born. Parents are then given a certified copy. If you need another copy, you can go to any civilian court and ask for another certified copy. Yes, you guessed, none of the local registries are digitized and/or encrypted or backed up, so that makes the verification lengthy or non existent.
Anglos are people born in English-speaking societies who thus are genetically influenced by this fact. Environment affects genes.
Nov 06th, 2016 - 10:35 pm - Link - Report abuse -2That is why someone that learns to speak English cannot be an Anglo if the environment around them is non-anglo.
It is kind of the USA and hispanic. The US government states an Anglo-American (they use the term white) cannot be Hispanic if they learn Spanish. Neither can a Hispanic ever be white, since Hispanic is a biological race.
Anglo is thus also a biological race, that includes people from Nelson Mandela to Tony Blair, Usain Bolt, Donald Trump, Bono of U2, Scots, and people born in New Zealand who are Maori, just to name a few examples of typical Anglos.
An Argentine born in those places remains Argentine. Some here would use the term “white”, but I never use it if anyone noticed, because Argentines are genetically distinct from Europeans as well, thank goodness. Would not want most people here associated with the crimes of those people.
I personally am not European, nor black, nor Indian, nor Asian, nor Anglo.

Language is part of culture, it's nothing to do with race. Neither Hispanic nor Anglo is a race by your definition, they are cultural groupings if anything.

Those Argie-Paraguayans are surely allowed to vote in both countries and can easily abuse that right and sell their vote by having a Pro-Forma address in their second Country...
I have meself voted (legaly) in three different Countries national elections, mate....
You say also...:
“Who do you “Think” feeds the electronic registry? The systems in place can be tampered leaving no trace. An inside job if you will.”

Do you realise that if all those multiple conspirations you are suggesting were real, it would mean that the president you voted for some months ago..., Mr. Macri..., has been illegally elected?

It doesn't bother you that they are selling their vote and using a fake address? Or being paid pensions they are not entitled to from public funds?
Don't ask silly questions, boyo..! Of course it bothers me...!

...but you do need to be on the Electoral roll and on appearing at the polling station you will be asked to confirm your name and address....
No name and address...no vote..
It is possible to say you are a particular person at a particular address and vote for that identity , but then the real person doesn't get a vote...so no extra voting takes place..
It's not as easy to vote in the UK as you make it out to be...

I do IT for a living. You can just figure out that I've met most of the relevant software engineers int the local arena. It just so happens that you walk into each other at a seminar, event or even coincide to work on the same project after quite an amount of time has passed.
We nerds are just like any other clique you can think of. We love to brag about how complex and bitchy a particular project has been. And we do it over beer. Just like fishermen bragging about the size of their respective catch.
I will obviously not disclose any consultant firm or public office from which I get these insights from. Please, give something back to the community and try to be open minded.
Electronic records are just like any kind of paper record only easier to forge if proper crypto algos and procedures ar not in place. It's all mathematics. If implemented right, it works for the good of human kind. If implemented wrong -not by chance but by design- it works for the good of the crooks.

Simply put, Mr Nostrils is Argentine. They are distinct and unique. The likes of Nostrils and Think reside in a strata far above lesser mortals.
“all-sorts”.
Funny that you mention that Kanye, I've been an Argentine native since 1970 only to find out, just today, that I belong to some kind of special, superior breed.

I was sarcastically referring to Nostrils' own perspective as a racially-pure superior being.
Think shares that.
I am well aware that Nostrils and Think do not represent all Argentines, and likely do not live there.
I find many of your posts to be interesting.

Regarding that video, I had to stop just when he states that the Kirchners created Atucha, I and II. Atucha I? Did you know it was built in '73?
This is the kind of BS we were made to sift through during the last 12 years.
A number of new national universities? I bet those don't even make it into the ranking.
How many hospitals did they “create” with no doctors and no equipment?
Don't get me wrong. I voted for Macri because there was absolutely no way that I would support Scioli, not because I believed his administration wouln't produce BS as well.
I'm sorry but your video is suitable for Brainwashing 101 (I bet that course is available in one of those new national universities “they” created).

Of a 35 minutes video were hundreds and hundreds of good deeds from the Kirchner administration are mentioned, you could only pick three small faults and discrepancies...:
1) “The Kirchners created Atucha, I and II.”..., should, of course, read...: “The Kirchners finished Atucha II after 20 years of paralysis”
2) Your personal concern that all that new universities won't make it in an undisclosed ranking of yours in an undisclosed timeframe of yours...
3) An undisclosed number of hospitals “created” with no doctors and no equipment, you say...
Welll... I remember having read about a couple of those hospitals...
One of them, inaugurated by Mr. Macri himself...

Nov 07th, 2016 - 04:42 pm - Link - Report abuse +1You've got it all wrong. There were good deeds during the K administration. There were also pantomime deeds just to inflate Cristinas image as a second Evita. Pure propagandistic bollocks.
Take the case of Universidad de San Martin. What business does a university in funding a tv series?
Take the case of the trains. They revamped the main lines with new trains. But it came at a cost of 52 people dead and a number of other accidents. I will not forget that even if they install a maglev.
If you take the time to go deep into each one of the K's good deeds, you will find that most of them are just a cover.
Nope..., Mr. Tarquin Fin...

Nov 07th, 2016 - 11:56 pm - Link - Report abuse +1What is that about Universidad de San Martin?
Your comments are very interesting anyway. Usually we get a rather one-sided view here but it was obvious that a lot of people in Argentina must have supported Macri.
Also: “Go just figure how easier it would have been for me to cope with my teen lack of self esteem if I had only known that I belonged to a unique race that was meant to rule the world?”
But you did; the race of nerds ;)
@ Voice
You are right, you have to be on the electoral register to vote, or else impersonate someone who is.
But to get on the electoral register all I have ever had to do is fill in a form with my name and nationality. Maybe they do some kind of checks in the background, but I certainly have never been asked for ID, nor heard of anyone who has been.
Good deeds? Handing out Choripans? Handing out Pesos to the poor in exchange for votes? Keeping hotel staff paid to mind empty hotels? Eliminating pesky lawyers? Giving her son a purpose by letting him run failing airline? Bolstering the profits of Rolex, Gucci etc? What a great leader?

UNSAM (Universidad de San Martin) has been involved in many scandals. They acted as a proxy for paying out the making of a tv series that has never made it to the local screens, and whose budget was obviously inflated making room for kickbacks.
They were also involved in the purchase of very expensive motion capture equipment with pulbic funds.
All of these (and many more) where funded thru the ministry of planification (now extinct) and the scheme was so obvious that is hard to believe the now ex-minister is not in jail. Probably because he made it to the congress.
It works like this, they make a contract (convenio) with UNSAM (and all of the newly created universities). These universities hired actors, programmers, graphic designers, etc. UNSAM received let's say, 100 for each person but they payed 50 to the workers. It's good to be the King!

Nov 09th, 2016 - 12:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0I see. It seems a bit odd for a University to be making a TV series in the first place, was it supposed to be an educational one?
Have you heard that the new government uses the same kind of scams?

I never thought that Nisman was murdered by Cristina. That murder had the fingerprints of rotten intelligence (SIDE) all over it.
On the other hand, I don't care if Nisman indulged himself in orgies, was gay, you name it. A murder is still a murder and neither Cristina or Macri have been very diligent on this case's resolution. There's definitely something rotting in Denmark.
Suicide it was...
