This paper aims to analyze, in a comparative perspective, the projects to regulate migrations in Chile presented by the governments of Michelle Bachelet and Sebastian Pinera. It is argued that both share a common feature: despite having elements based on the promotion of rights, they maintain traits that correspond to a control logic. We summarize the Chilean phenomenon of immigration that motivates the creation of a new regulation, analyze the present law and, finally, establish a comparative framework that addresses the particularities of the proposed immigration laws made by the Michelle Bachelet and Sebastian Pinera governments.
