And yet another horror story

Permanent legal residents can vote, not temporary legal residents. I just spent the past half hour reading the damn law.

There has been a huge project(patria grande) to legalize those people but they don´t have instant access to the Argentine citizenship. It is however pretty likely they will get there citizenship just in time for the elections

That started as a Mercosur initiative. But they have to go from temporary resident to permanent resident to citizen. I think the process takes like 5 years.

This government is not going to do anything about it. Cristina K's main area of support in this country comes from these villas and all theBolivians, Peruvians, and Paraguayans who are living here illegally. It was Kitchner's administration who barred the city police from working for 3 or 4 years. They have only just recently gotten back to work. (FYI, the police you see in the orange vests are federal police, working for the federal government and making next to no pay. It is the police dressed in yellow who are the city police that actually get paid well enough to do things)

Her administration, for some reason, seems to encourage these villas and the people and the crime that comes with them.

And it is to big to deal with now. How could you possible fix this problem. Going in and trying to get rid of them would cause crime toescalate to unimaginable levels. If you think that it bad now, wait until a government and society lashes back against these people and they have nothing to lose.

I see no easy solution for this problem and especially not one that won't make everything worse for the foreseeable future.

I noticed that someone posted a similar version of history somewhere else on these forums, I'm not sure where this is coming from. The city police never existed before their recent inception - the creation of a local security force had to have the authorisation of the national congress under the 1994 law which instituted the autonomous city government.

When this was requested by the government of Mauricio Macri in 2007 the reform of the law to allow a local police force to be created was passed with almost complete unanimity in both houses, the conflict was over who would fund it with Macri's proposal that the current PF forces infrastructure and budget be handed over to the city administration being opposed by the current federal administration and others who wanted to see the funding come from the city government itself.

As for the remainder of the misinformation, wild speculation and bigotry in your post I'll give it the attention it deserves...
