Abstract

Argentine’s Migration Law (No. 25,871) in force since 2004 implied an historical change to Argentina and became rapidly a “regional model” for Latin-American laws by means of recognizing the human right to migrate as its starting point. In December 2015, a right-wing coalition (“Cambiemos” or “Let’s Change”, in English) won elections in Argentina and since then a new view of migration begun to be noticed, reaching its maximum expression by National Decree, No. 70/2017, issued by the Executive Branch and aimed to modify Law 25,871. Thus, this article pictures the current normative changes on migration in Argentina (through decrees, resolutions and another “sub-legal” norms issued during 2016-2017) together with a legal analysis of the Decree 70/2017. To conclude, the paper establishes a dialogue with recent modifications in the Latin-American legal migration framework to draft some consequences to the region.
