Abstract

International migration law's tension between the recognition of the right to be treated according certain minimum human rights and the sovereign prerogatives of migration control is reflected by the Chilean migration law. This tension results in de facto denial of immigrant minimum human rights because of the interference of migration control mechanisms. This work will analyze the protection level given by the Chilean law to an immigrant population particularly relevant rights, like the right to due process, the right to personal freedom, the right to education and health care and some labor rights, for the purpose of contrasting their de jure protection with the effect that the migration control mechanisms have in their de facto protection.
