Chile's President-elect José Antonio Kast, an admirer of Augusto Pinochet, plans to create a "humanitarian return corridor" for irregular immigrants, specifically mentioning Venezuelans. Kast's campaign platform included building a border wall, expelling undocumented immigrants, and using the military to stop illegal entries, linking immigration to increased violence. This marks a shift, as xenophobia has not been a central theme in recent Latin American far-right discourse, unlike in other regions.
