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.
I’m horrified by what my government is doing right now, but if one of the side effects is that Mexico experiences an economic renaissance as a result of our idiotic racially-motivated isolationism… well, that is genuinely one hell of a silver lining.
Yeah, I’m with you. This is going to suck for the Americans who fought against the rise of fascism, but it is good for the rest of the world that we’re not at the helm anymore.
Excellent points here. Thank you for sharing.
I’m wondering if it might suck - possibly harder - for those who voted for fascism.
Oh, most definitely in a general sense. The difference here is that they’re believers.
They’re willing to go through pain, agony, and the death of themselves or their loved ones, if they feel like they’re in the “moral right” here with their religion.
Religion (the Abrahamic ones especially) are largely based on fascism at its core. After all, why would you question God? Why would a woman question the man of the house? Why would you question the Pope? Etc.
So, objectively, things will get very bad for them, but they will weather it better than those that are fighting fascists.
Agreed.
And the Democrats can sit, watch, and learn what it means to be electable while it happens.
Yeah, I swear people on Lemmy love Sheinbaum, but they are not Mexican, so of course they don’t know the whole picture.
Has unemployment risen? I looked at some numbers and it looks really low over the last few years. Not a Mexican.
I’m not seeing anything in that article that indicates these jobs have to be for people who are returning to the country. They seem to be open for anybody. So if you want one of them go get one. Also I point out that these people are citizens so what are you mad about exactly?
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”.
