I'm basically a ghost here.
Since Kast said he's going to deport us, we've seen more xenophobia.
I work in a restaurant and it never happened to me.
And then about 20 days ago, a table arrived.
They started talking about migrants having to leave.
This election campaign has been dominated by crime and immigration as the flow of people into the country has recently grown.
Communist Party's Yanet Tara has said she'd deploy the army to protect borders.
The far-right front-runner, Josรฉ Antonio Kast, has pledged a Donald Trump-style border wall and mass deportations.
People who are breaking the law today and are in Chile irregularly have 90 days to leave if they want to apply again to enter.
At this building in Santiago, preparations are going on for Josรฉ Antonio Kast's watch party of the election results.
I'm here to meet Jeremias Alonso, who is a supporter of Kast, but also somebody who volunteers to get the youth vote out for him.
Josรฉ Antonio is not a xenophobic or racist person, as the left has tried to portray him.
What CAST is saying is that foreigners should come to Chile, but they should enter properly, because Chile was not prepared to receive the wave of immigration it did.
The problem with having undocumented immigrants in the country is they use the health care system, the public education system, the public resources funded through Chilean taxpayers.
Another Football World Cup, another set of controversies.
Next year's men's contest will be held in cities across Mexico, Canada and the US.
There were worries earlier this week when the Trump administration hinted that anyone wanting to enter the country would have their social media history for the past five years scrutinised before a visa was issued.
And a travel ban's already been slapped on fans from a number of countries, including Iran and Haiti.
Others are complaining that the organisers' FIFA have made it almost impossible for some fans to go to the World Cup because the ticket prices are so high.
The cheapest ones for the final cost over $4,000 each.
