The governor of Salta assured that many people cross the border and receive money for programs such as the AUH and similar. “It’s time to prioritize our people,” he said.
The governor of Salta, Gustavo Saenzasked the National Social Security Administration (ANSES) to carry out a survey to determine How many foreigners who do not actually reside in the country receive some type of benefit, to the detriment of retirees who receive the minimum pension.
“We must not forget that one block is made here and the country has already been crossed. And we can see at the border ATMs the lines of foreigners collecting these benefits when we have retirees who earn the minimum, are going hungry and do not have enough to buy themselves the remedies”, Sáenz sentenced.
Gustavo Sáenz demanded an ANSES survey
Faced with this scenario, the Salta president raised the need to urgently carry out a survey to determine how many foreigners receive social plans in Argentina, but do not reside in the country.
“We have to make the resources that are scarce transparent, to guarantee that they reach the Argentine citizens who really need them,” said Sáez, adding that “Many foreigners cross the border, collect benefits such as the AUH and return to their countries, leaving these funds out of the local economy.”

After establishing the charge for medical care for non-resident foreigners, which generated innumerable benefits for the citizens of Salta, Sáenz considered that “It’s time to prioritize our people” Therefore, he proposed that ANSES should carry out a survey of the number of foreigners – many with dual residence – who receive different social plans.
Sáenz emphasized that it is necessary for the national organization to review this situation and to analyze the truly “specific” residences to determine that those who receive the benefits prove that they live, work and pay taxes in the country.
Healthcare
The initiative is in line with the decision to charge for health care to foreigners that the governor of Salta adopted last year and which has already had a very positive impact on the provincial health administration.
“We started charging them and the attention of foreigners in our province fell by 95%, which allowed significant savings that will allow us to have 14 new ambulances in the next few days, and we are calling to buy 20 more to distribute and distribute them to all the corners of the province”Sáenz explained.
