| Abstract | |
Argentina is South America\'s main immigrant receiving country, with a foreign population estimated by the UN at more than 2 million in 2017. After the approval of a new immigrant law in 2004, Argentina has promoted policies aimed to protect immigrants\' rights and promote their regulation. These ideals were exported to Mercosur, and the country\'s immigrant policy became attached to the block. However, since Mauricio Macri assumed the presidency in late 2015, Argentine immigrant policy has been reoriented towards a security perspective. This move can be explained not only by ideological differences between administrations, but also by observing how both domestic and international contexts pose constraints. Thus, this article has two goals: describing and analyzing immigrant policy under Mauricio Macri; explaining domestic and international factors that create incentives to a more security-oriented immigrant policy. These include, on the one hand, demands from the migration authority and the place of the ruling coalition within the party system; and on the other hand, Macri\'s on foreign policy and the regional trend for searching a more flexible model of integration.
