Abstract: The objective of this paper is to empirically estimate the economic and social effects of Patria Grande, a large regularization program implemented in Argentina between 2006 and 2010 that allowed almost half a million of undocumented immigrants to regularize their situation, representing approximately 30% of the total immigrant population. In a nutshell, immigrants were able to obtain a temporary residency permit and an Argentine tax-ID number (i.e., CUIL) by simply showing evidence that they were born in a MERCOSUR country and signing an affidavit that they had no criminal records.
