Migration history

From 2002 to 2003, many Americans migrated to Argentina when the country suddenly became comparatively inexpensive to the United States.
Immigration from the United States increased further during and after the 2008 financial crisis as many Americans fled the crisis-ridden United States to escape to Argentina. A few interviews and immigration data shows a 12% increase in the number of Americans who applied for permanent residency in 2008.
