He moved four years ago.

He's applied for a visa, but he's still had no response from the government.

I left Venezuela because the country was in a very, very bad economic situation.

I got a temporary Chilean ID so I can contribute to social security and pay taxes here.

I submitted the paperwork to the Chilean immigration office, but I still haven't received a response.

My payments go into a friend's account.

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, José 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 José 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.

José 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.
