Immigrants in Chile

In recent years has been a progressive increase of immigrants in Chile highlighting those of Latin American and Haitian countries.

The position that citizens have taken is deplorable practicing racism and xenophobia, both attitudes are very contradictory if we think about the roots of our country children of Spaniards and indigenous people. 

But if we think about it, immigration has been in our country for years. When is it that these discriminations take place? When people with needs begin to arrive, who are not European settlers, I once read that it was a phobia of poverty.

I believe that no human being is illegal. Immigrants in Chile are a contribution whether cultural or economic and the State should take charge of improving their living and working conditions but while they don't we must be active participants in the inclusion and obtaining of equal rights for them, those without voice.
