Milei dreams of massive immigration to the provinces. Experts say that’s unlikely - Buenos Aires Herald

Mining and energy demand massive investments, but fail to create direct employment on the same scale

the key words here are "Milei dreams".

But but but then there would need to be schools and (shudder) even universities, public services and transport, roads and motorways…

I mean, it would be fantastic, Argentina is so fertile and productive it could probably support twice the current population (just a random guess of mine, I’ll ask my AI about this), but chainsawing away at the state isn’t going to do it.

And most likely immigrants are unlikely to be the same ethnicity as porteños, no problem for me, but Milei has encouraged the nasties to come out from under their rocks.

As the article points out, milei has lost more jobs than the most optimistic projection of new jobs from these "investors".
many of these jobs are initial construction, and not permanent.
many of the better paying jobs, that would justify moving, require things like machining or welding skills, crane or heavy equipment operation skills, chemical engineering or technician skills.
all of which require 2 years minimum technical training in schools Cristina built, and milei is choking to death with budget cuts and employee layoffs.
currently multinationals are closing steel mills, and factories in Argentina, because $1000 usd a month for skilled union labor is "too high".
I am not holding my breath.
