Migration policy of Argentina: current trends

The article examines current trends in the implementation of Argentina's migration policy. Historical, political and legal preconditions for the transformation of the state into a country-recipient of migration flows are traced. The author examines modern normative legal acts regulating the country's migration policy. Their similarity and difference from the normative legal acts that governed migration policy during the XIX—XX centuries are demonstrated. Special attention is paid to the economic foundations of migration policy. The author argues that the current content of migration flows is determined by the structure of the country's export-oriented economy, which, due to its content, requires a low-skilled labor force. This is the reason for the imbalance in the country's migration flows ("brain drain" in exchange for low-skilled labor). However, a significant inflow of low-skilled labor force creates social tension, which, according to the author, can be removed by implementing programs for the adaptation of migrants. However, the Argentine leadership has now decided to finance anti-migration programs.
