For years Argentina, the next one on our list of best countries with birthright citizenship has been seen as a promised land by workers from poorer South American countries, mainly Bolivia. More than three million Bolivians have left the country searching for employment opportunities, and a great majority of them (73%) have chosen Argentina as their final destination. The country has the second-largest immigrant population in the Latin America. In the last few months, anti-immigration rhetoric has been growing in Argentina, and the government officials have announced stronger immigration controls in the future.
