Argentina 's right-wing President Javier Milei has issued a decree curbing immigration to the South American nation.

Milei's abrupt measures and declaration that newcomers were bringing “chaos and abuse” drew criticism from his political opponents.

The decree makes it much easier for the government to deport migrants who enter the country illegally, falsify their immigration documents or commit minor crimes in Argentina .
