Summary
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum launched the “México te abraza” employment program to help citizens deported under Donald Trump reintegrate into the workforce.
In partnership with the Consejo Coordinador Empresarial, over 220 companies have posted 63,880 vacancies nationwide, surpassing a January pledge to create 50,000 jobs.
Roles span sectors like agriculture and construction, with salaries ranging from $424 to over $2,000 USD monthly. Key employers include Walmart, Grupo Bimbo, and CEMEX.
The initiative aims to provide “dignified, well-paying work” and leverage U.S. labor experience for Mexico’s economic benefit.
While I appreciate the sentiment and perhaps you’re right about meaningless populism… but from up here it really looks like she wants to take advantage of our bout of insanity to goose your economy, to reduce the reasons for people leaving in the first place, to build a more independent local economy in place of the more precarious global one.
Think of all the insane drivel drooling out the side of the mouth of mango Mussolini - somehow his strategy is “1. Wreck it; 2. ???; 3. Profit”, whereas this looks like “build it and they will come”.
