Since 2013 Chile has been increasingly plunged into a [[Illegal Immigration|mass immigration]] [[open borders]] crisis,<ref>{{cite web|language=es|url=http://www.diarioestrategia.cl//texto-diario/mostrar/1116871/chile-pais-americano-mayor-aumento-inmigrantes|title=Chile es el país americano con mayor aumento de inmigrantes|publisher=diarioestrategia.cl|date=9 November 2018}}</ref>  this problem has been specially worrying for the commune since the point of access of most of the illegal immigrants is the Colchane border cross with Bolivia, a country that lets them into Chile since the bad relations Bolivia has promoted against Chile. In 2019 the crisis began strongly in Colchane, immigrants even tried to take the houses of the local population.

In 2019 the crisis began strongly in Colchane, immigrants even tried to take the houses of the local population.  

Most of the immigrants are [[Venezuelan]], the crisis increased in 2020 and 2021. In 2021 Chileans made a march against mass immigration in the capital of the [[Tarapacá Region]], [[Iquique]], and at the end of the march some burnt [[illegal immigrant]]'s tents due to social fatigue. In that year, during the [[Chile presidential election, 2021|presidential election]], then candidate [[José Antonio Kast]] proposed the building of a trench on the border, something was softly built during the [[Michelle Bachelet]]'s Second Government (Which was totally [[Globalist]] and Open Borders, making immigration the issue that is today in Chile), however, wasn't because of immigration, but to prevent the trespassing of stolen Chilean cars to Bolivia. Then candidate [[Gabriel Boric]] made fun of the proposal and rejected it, during his government, the communist minister Vallejo promoted it in 2024, since the National immigration crisis is increasing. The Boric Government set up ridiculous loudspeakers to warn the immigrants not to pass and the border guards partied once while the illegals were passing through. In addition, when the military has been sent to the area, they do not have sufficient firepower.

The construction of a [[border wall]] has been proposed recently.
