Chile’s President Kast tightens immigration controls: Video
Chilean President Jose Antonio Kast has defended his immigration policy and announced tougher border controls and faster deportations of irregular migrants.
Speaking after introducing new measures, Kast said deportation flights, stricter northern border enforcement and fewer illegal crossings show his plan is already working, with priority given to migrants with criminal records. He also confirmed plans to reform nationality laws, shifting away from birthright citizenship, while urging voluntary returns—particularly among Venezuelans, who make up a large share of the country’s migrant population.
