You could start with asking your government to stop asking chileans $US
100 for a visa. It's a reciprocity issue: chileans are force to pay for
entering the USA so USA citizen have to pay for entering Chile.

No, I am pretty sure Chileans doesn't want people like you. Actually, I
don't think many people want people like you.

Also, I hope that with that attitude you will be refused entry to the
country (which is absolutely possible).

No way, Jose. I'll simply hold up a big wad a greenbacks and they'll
bow down and let me in. Or perhaps I'll threaten to bring democracy to
their country.

Watch out. There was an American freelance writer in the early 70's that
got killed for writting down the wrong things.

Um ... I don;t think the OP wanted to go to Chile: he wanted
to go to Argentina, and only had a short stopover in Chile
due to his plane connection.
