Title in English: Macri launches a plan to reinforce control of immigrants

Here's the original article: https://www.lanacion.com.ar/2163790-macri-lanza-plan-reforzar-control-inmigrantes

Here are some selected quotes (translated to English):

The first step of the plan for illegal immigrants will be to launch in September an application for cell phones of agents of health, security, police, gendarmes and provincial police, among others. The device will allow agents to see migratory situation of any foreigner: if the foreigner has temporary or permanent residence, a tourist visa or is not regular. It will also detect if the foreigner does not have a record of entry at any border crossing.

According to immigration officials, if a foreigner with illegal entry is identified as traveling near a border crossing point, en flagrancia, he could be expelled from the country until he makes his legal entry. In case of illegal residents, they will be given a period of 30 days to regularize. Cases are often found in hospitals, where they are attended: doctors could detect them with the application of their cell phone.

The application will take the name, nationality and date of birth of the foreigner, and will provide their immigration status, the last three entries and exits from the country, and the criminal history (antecedentes). "If they use a public hospital or services, they must pay taxes to the State," García said.

To regularize, Migraciones will launch in September another system of remote regularization, by Internet, that will replace the process of long lines and state bureaucracy. In the Migraciones website, the interested party will initiate the procedure using the "Radex" link (Radicación a Distancia de Extranjeros). One must enter biographical information, photos of their residence certificates and criminal records of the country of origin and pay the fee: $3000 pesos for citizens of Mercosur countries and $6000 pesos for extra-Mercosur.

The process will end up at the Migraciones headquarters corresponding to your address for fingerprints and a photo, after which the DNI will be sent to your home. The complete procedure should take, if it is normal, a week. "In the last 15 years many foreigners have entered who received assistance from the State, in health or education, without paying taxes. All must be regular, with rights and obligations," said an official source.

Paragraph 8.....Suelen encontrarse casos en hospitales, donde se atienden: los médicos los podrían detectar con la aplicación de su celular.....
Google Translate: Cases are usually found in hospitals, where they are attended: doctors could detect them with the application of their cell phone.

I support fully the proposed immigration initiative. Nevertheless, I doubt the above cited aspect of the Macri plan is advisable. Physicians should not be expected to participate in the identification of illegals.

In fact it is forbidden by the law Gracielle.
He is resurrecting the abolished Videla law 22.439 where there was a duty to report.

Wow Taxes if you use Public Health Services....

I read the article in the link and saw the immigration fees (tasas) for foreigners applying for residency, but I couldn't find anything about "taxes if you use Public Health Services."

Did I miss something?

I don;t understand why is the govt so desperate about immigration rather than trying to solve the more serious issues the country is facing.

 

[Ceviche]

I support fully the proposed immigration initiative.

There should be a button to "dislike" some posts.

No, you didn't miss it. Basically, what was said is that for one to use public services, they should be a contributing taxpayer to the state in this paragraph:

En la aplicación se ingresará el nombre, la nacionalidad y fecha de nacimiento del extranjero, y se accederá a su situación migratoria, últimos tres ingresos y salidas del país, y los antecedentes. "Si usan un hospital público o servicios, deben tributar al Estado", señaló García.

In my opinion, an illegal resident and/or a tourist who is a patient seeking non-emergency care at a public facility should pay out of pocket for the medical service provided by said entity. There is a social services unit at every public hospital which the patient who does not possess a DNI can seek guidance about obtaining residency. But it should not be the task of the physician providing the service to identify illegals.
