The Citizenship Law (346) of 1869 was designed hand in hand with Argentina’s open-door policy, which facilitated foreigners’ arrival in the country. It sought, as we have seen, to make territory the determining factor for legal status. In other words, when women—either foreign or Argentine—gave birth within the bounds of the national territory, their babies were born as Argentines. Additionally, the law promoted formal judicial migration (naturalisation). It offered attractive and accessible conditions for obtaining naturalisation, including, among other things, a free judicial procedure.
