I know a US citizen who received a deportation notice when migraciones discovered he was living on tourist stamps in his passport. That was a decade or so ago. The lawyer said that it would be hard to actually deport him. The process would take time. Not sure what the situation is now.

If they are equally difficult, better to stay put in Argentina, no?
