N2 - This working paper considers the present situation of COVID-19 in Chile, with a focus on changing immigration trends, as well as the polarization of political and social conflict caused by the ways in which the Chilean government has attempted to manage the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper concentrates on the enactment of a restrictive immigration law and its consequences for Chilean society, and argues that the government's COVID-19 policies have led to greater capital accumulation for the wealthy, exacerbated existing social divisions.
