The government has approved new measures to strengthen border controls at the borders

The entry of two Iranians with fake pbadports and the recent escape from the Alberto Samid mbadacre to Belize have put Argentina's border control system at the maximum alert point. President Mauricio Macri has expressly entrusted the reinforcement of a set of measures relating to migration that have just been put in place under a strict reserve.

The government's idea is that there should not be repeated leaks at the Argentine borders and that the country is really reliable in terms of migration control. So, from the The National Directorate of Migration has put in place new measures to strengthen controls.

As they trusted Infobae qualified sources of Casa Rosada, the Migration Directorate responsible for Horacio Garcia set up a scheme "Cross checks". In other words, migration inspectors will not only be controlled by the border control authorities. It will also require a higher internal body called DIAC, which works 24 hours a day every day of the year to immediately corroborate with the offices of Interpol in Lyon the information of a stranger.

"From now on, the supervisor can not release or allow a foreigner to enter with questionable data as long as the DIAC office does not guarantee"explained a government official who worked in recent days to implement these new migration control systems.

It happens that when on March 12, Iranians Sajjad Samiei Naserani and Mashoreh Sabzali They arrived in Ezeiza from Spain with fake Israeli pbadports. The Migration Inspector demanded the downstream of the supervisor to allow entry. And finally, they could come in because the supervisor has given the green light. The two responsible for the migration are currently under investigation and have an internal summary. But in the future, this will not happen again because of the controls of the DIAC.

At the same time, the Directorate of Migration has at least 11 reports in its database on the different characteristics of fake Israeli pbadports, the information of which will be updated. It highlights the different types of anomalies that an Israeli pbadport may have to take into account. The same goes for pbadports from Eastern European countries or from Turkey, which are also very vulnerable.

Another tool that the Directorate of Migration has just installed is the database of one "digital library" pbadports from almost everyone. This is a special software purchased by Argentina as part of a tender offer launched at the 3M company. This company has one of the largest software programs in the world with the base data from at least 198 countries issuing pbadports.

With the continuous updating of this 3M enterprise system, Argentina hopes that in the immediate future It will be almost impossible for citizens with fake pbadports to enter the country. It is the same system currently used by US Homeland Security and the Migration Branch of some European countries.

After Samid fled to Belize and was captured and taken back to Argentina, the immigration security system that the meat contractor breached was also redesigned.

Secretary of Security, Gerardo Milman, said it was confirmed that the "King of Flesh" had crossed Paraguay, Panama and Belize, his final destination. "Samid illegally left Argentina for an unauthorized crossing and legally entered Paraguay on March 24th.. On the 25th he was in Panama and on the 26th he arrived in Belize, "said Milman.

All of this is under review and investigation by the immigration authorities. It is presumed that Samid crossed a porous area of ​​the border with Paraguay, in the province of Formosa, for an illegal pbadage.

Anyway, in the direction of migration, which depends on the Minister of the Interior, Rogelio Frigerio, will be installed in the coming days biometric scanners in the 237 legal border crossings owned by Argentina. Sixty of these stages depend on the gendarmerie and the rest of the direction of migration. The biometric scanner system has been installed in at least 40 steps and will immediately be integrated with 140 others. This mechanism allows for more in-depth control of the entry of foreigners or Argentineans into the country.

At the same time, from the Ministry of Finance led by Nicolás Dujovne, it was promised to Frigerio that the direction of migration would employ about 200 additional people. There are currently 3,800 employees in immigration posts across the country. The Ministry of Interior wants to increase this number to 4,000 employees.

In this way, the government estimates that there will be a greater network of containment and control in the migratory flow.
