“The changes are part of greater vigilance world-wide of the foreigners crossing borders,” says British immigration researcher Carl Emmers. “Much of this is based on concerns about terrorism but in Latin America it also concerns expats who have not gone through the process of becoming legal residents. In Panama and Colombia, the government is concerned about people who take advantage of services provided by the government without paying for them.”
