A recent claim by UDI Vice President Eduardo Cretton regarding migrant expulsions under the current and previous governments has been debunked. Cretton stated the Boric government expelled 1,057 irregular immigrants, while the Kast government expelled 1,700 in just four months. However, fact-checking organization Fast Check rated the claim as false, citing the actual number of migrants expelled under the Kast administration as 878. The discrepancy highlights potential misinformation surrounding immigration statistics in Chile. Cretton disseminated this information via a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. This correction underscores the importance of verifying information from public officials. The verified number provides a more accurate understanding of the government’s immigration policies.
