The Mexican government has designed a comprehensive strategy to welcome nationals who are repatriated from the United States, in response to the outgoing president, Donald Trump's decision to declare a 'national emergency' at the border and advance in mass deportations of migrants. This strategy, called 'Mexico embraces you,' aims to provide support to the deported in various aspects of their lives.
The Ministry of Welfare will integrate the deported Mexicans into several social programs, such as the pension for the elderly, pension for people with disabilities, support program for working mothers, the Sowing Life Program, Pension for Women Wellbeing, and Health House by House. They will also have access to the Young People Building the Future program, educational scholarships from Benito Juárez University, the Universal Scholarship Rita Cetina program, and scholarships for secondary and higher education.
Additionally, the compatriots will receive a 'Wellbeing Card' with 2,000 pesos for their immediate transport to their communities of origin. The Mexican government has focused on preparing the necessary infrastructure to receive those who are repatriated, providing them access to Welfare programs, health services, transport to their destinations, telephone communications, and identity documentation.
In case health services are needed, they will be issued the Unique Population Registration Code (CURP) through the National Population Registry (Renapo). Likewise, the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) will offer protection to repatriated individuals and their families through their integration into the IMSS Mandatory Regime, guaranteeing access to maternity and illness insurance benefits for humanitarian and solidarity reasons.
