Argentina’s President Javier Milei has extended an invitation to New Yorkers, offering them the opportunity to relocate to Argentina amid criticism of U.S. political policies he describes as ‘Mamdani’s communist rule.’ Milei framed the move as a chance for individuals seeking more personal and economic freedom.
The announcement has sparked debate online and in political circles, raising questions about Milei’s approach to immigration, economic strategy, and international diplomacy. Experts note that Argentina’s openness to foreign residents aligns with Milei’s plan to attract investment, talent, and skilled workers.
00:12It is a pleasure to be back in the United States, a nation with which we share a love for the ideas
00:16of freedom and with which we have successfully re-established our relationship as natural allies
00:21in the region. It is also a pleasure to be part of another edition of CPAC, whose organizers I thank
00:42for the invitation and for the privilege of addressing all of you once again. Thank you,
00:47Matt, Mary, and everyone present.
01:04We are happy to be able to celebrate among friends and like-minded people the resounding
01:08victory we achieved in the midterm elections this past October 26th.
01:13At the most difficult moment, when everyone believed that our government was finished and the communists were licking their chops thinking about coming back worse,
01:3141% of Argentines chose to ratify their confidence in our path of freedom.
01:43And this is fundamental because we came to power with ideas that just five years ago were considered marginal and radical in the political debate in our country.
02:00We fulfilled all our promises, we turned ideas into reality and now that reality has been supported by the majority.
02:20This could represent a new paradigm in global politics for the future, where new references emerge
02:48for members of society as adults instead of infantilizing them with excuses to increasingly enlarge the state.
03:18We are demonstrating that doing the right thing works and we have never abandoned the cultural battle because we do,
03:24but we also explain and fight against a common sense contaminated by the left.
03:30As Professor Jesus Huerta de Soto explains well in his work, our path, the path of freedom and capitalism, works because it is morally correct.
03:42You have the right values and it is fair.
03:46As Professor Jesus Huerta de Soto explains well in his work, our path, the path of freedom and capitalism, works because it is morally correct.
03:52You have the right values and it is fair.
04:18Being free means having free control of our lifetime to work or do whatever we want.
04:30By owning our work, we also have by definition the right to the fruits of said work, which is nothing other than private property.
04:46But the point is that respect for life, liberty, and private property, and the accompanying values such as merit and effort, which we often call Judeo-Christian values, in themselves generate efficiency and economic cooperation between people.
05:04As Professor Huerta de Soto said, justice and efficiency are two sides of the same coin, since what is fair cannot be inefficient, and what is efficient must be fair.
05:30It was thanks to the right to the right to the right to the right to the right to the right to the right to the right to the right to the right.
05:32It was thanks to adhering to these principles that humanity managed to lift more than 90% of the population out of poverty in the last 200 years.
05:40In other words, we do not believe that capitalism is morally right due to the fact that it lifted more than 90% of the population out of poverty.
06:04Rather, it managed to lift them out of poverty precisely because it is the most moral of all existing systems.
06:32Now we are making a call to New York.
06:42Wait!
06:44On the contrary, when we follow the path of socialism or communism or any type of collectivism with a different name, some now call it democratic socialism, first moral damage is caused to society under which theft from some to benefit others is justified.
07:04Then, when those who are expropriated from the fruits of their efforts, fed up with the plunder, go to another jurisdiction where they are respected, the economic damage begins due to the flight of capital.
07:32Argentina has embarked on this path for the last 100 years and was on the brink of collapse.
07:38In 2023, it decided to radically change course and open itself up to freedom.
07:44That is why I would like to repeat something I said the night we won the elections.
08:18During the next two years, we have dedicated ourselves to preventing Argentina from falling off the cliff.
08:24During the next two years, we have to strengthen the reformist path that we embarked on to turn Argentine history around once and for all.
08:30Over the past two years, we have devoted ourselves to keeping Argentina from falling off the cliff.
08:40The October 26th election was historic for our country.
08:56First, because we obtained a 16-point lead over the Quisaristas, and we did so despite their constant destabilizing attacks, given that through Congress they incessantly sought to bankrupt the public accounts and through the media they slandered us with monstrous disinformation operations.
09:20Because of the margin of ism and despite constant attacks.
09:44But it was also historic because it allowed us to win the necessary seats in the National Congress to continue carrying out the most ambitious reform process in our history.
10:10In this way, we will continue to build the foundations on which to build an Argentina that will stop going through cycles of failure over and over again and set its sights on the future once and for all.
10:35I would like to highlight, in this difficult context, the unconditional support of our great ally, the United States.
10:56President Trump, Secretary Scott Besson, Secretary Marco Rubio, and the entire administration made an unprecedented gesture that Argentines will never forget and that will forever be marked as a milestone in our bilateral relations.
11:12President Trump, Secretary Scott Besson, Secretary Marco Rubio, and the U.S. administration as a whole unprecedented that we Argentines will never forget forever.
11:37Both the Trump administration and ours somehow embody the spirit of the times.
11:43A turn toward truth, toward market optimism, toward reconnecting with Western values.
11:50It makes me very happy as an Argentine and as a president that this natural affinity has become a concrete action to fight for the ideas that made us great.
12:07Thanks to the invalable support shown by our great ally, Argentina withstood the stabilizing blows and is now for the future.
12:12It makes me very happy as an Argentine and as a president that this natural affinity has become a concrete action to fight for the ideas that made us great.
12:17Thanks to the invalable support shown by our great ally, Argentina withstood the stabilizing blows and is now moving toward a future of prosperity and growth to make Argentina great again.
12:42Because of this, the socialists in our country accuse us of surrendering our sovereignty to the United States.
13:07They
13:12understand sovereignty as destroying the national currency, multiplying poverty and misery, humiliating the armed forces and filling their mouths with empty slogans.
13:29That is why their model of a sovereign country is Cuba or Venezuela.
13:38We understand that true sovereignty can only be achieved with economic growth and the only way to grow is by integrating with the world.
13:58Trading more, generating more, generating more investment and thus improving the quality of life of our people.
14:07That is why, in the coming years, the political effect, growth will be key.
14:20Every point of GDP growth will mean lower taxes, tens of thousands fewer poor people and tens of thousands fewer votes for the left.
14:39This alone is not enough and that is why we insist on the cultural battle, but it is undeniable that economic growth is the first and the best political educator we have, because nothing is more eloquent than living.
15:02This alone is not enough which is why we are on the culture battle, but it is undeniable that economic growth is first and we have nothing.
15:11That is why I maintain that this is the moment to bet on Argentina.
15:26We are a country with untapped potential, full of investment opportunities and a population eager to move forward.
15:35Thanks to the reforms that we will promote through the new Congress, we will lay the foundations for a free, prosperous nation that welcomes with open arms anyone who wants to invest in it.
16:00As our national constitution states, our goal is to promote the general welfare and ensure the benefits of freedom for ourselves, for our posterity and for all the people of the world who want to legally inhabit Argentine soil.
16:25I would like to dedicate these words, especially to the people of New York who took the opposite path to the one Argentina took and are now going to live under a communist government.
16:54Know that if things get tough, you will always be welcome in our land if you seek to prosper.
17:01I have no doubt that having weathered the storm, we will be able to prosper.
17:08I have no doubt that having weathered the storm, we will follow President Trump's example
17:33in this beautiful country and make Argentina great again.
17:51May God bless the Argentine Republic.
17:56May God bless the United States of America.
18:02May the forces of heaven be with us.
18:07And long live freedom, damn it, and long freedom, damn it.
