Chilean center-right presidential candidate Evelyn Matthei pledged to crack down on crime and illegal immigration, while doubling economic growth, as she unveiled campaign priorities ahead of the November election.

Speaking before hundreds of people in a packed theater Thursday night, Matthei said that, if elected president, she will use satellites, helicopters and cameras to monitor Chile’s borders, expel thousands of foreigners who committed crimes and build five new jails.
