Migração irregular no Chile

uma análise crítica da política de migração Pós-2018

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this article is to analyze irregular migration in Chile since 2018, exploring the factors that have contributed to its increase and the effects of the policies implemented in that period. Based on a review of statistics, reports and specialized literature, various factors that contribute to the increase in irregular migration are identified, such as regional instability, Venezuelan displacement and its context of forced mobility. This paper focuses on three policies implemented in Chile: the restriction to change status within the country, the modifications to the visa system and the management of the COVID-19 pandemic. The central hypothesis is that the measures adopted have not reduced irregularity, but rather have increased denunciations of entry through unauthorized passages, contributing to the precariousness of migrants and hindering their inclusion in Chilean society.

Methodology: The methodology of the article is based on a qualitative documentary analysis, which systematically examines relevant documents to identify factors influencing the increase of irregular migration in Chile, using an analytical-synthetic approach to obtain a deep and broad understanding of the situation.

Results: The study concludes that migration in Chile post-2018 faces challenges derived from regional and international factors, especially the Venezuelan diaspora. Chilean migration policies, including status restrictions and visa modifications, have increased the irregularity and vulnerability of migrants. In addition, the lack of comprehensive statistics on irregular migration is highlighted, which prevents a better understanding of migration dynamics, which subsequently has an impact on the precariousness of journeys.
