ASUME, made up of the 32 most important private security associations in Mexico, has committed to closely collaborate with the Government of Mexico, business organizations, and local authorities to integrate deported migrants into the labor market. Armando Zuñiga emphasized the importance of offering formal, trained, and dignified jobs to repatriated individuals to contribute to the well-being of Mexican families.
The association is committed to providing repatriates with jobs that include social benefits, competitive salaries, and opportunities for growth. They specified that most jobs will be offered in areas with a higher concentration of deported Mexicans, primarily in the private security sector.
The private security industry in Mexico significantly contributes to the country's economy, accounting for 2% of GDP and employing around one million people. Armando Zuñiga highlighted the importance of collaboration between the public and private sectors to address the economic and social challenges posed by the global environment.
On their part, Mexico's Private Initiative, represented by the Business Coordinating Council (CCE), has committed to offering 35,000 jobs to Mexican migrants deported by President Donald Trump. Companies like Femsa, Walmart, Biopapel, and other agencies have joined the project to hire repatriated individuals.
The goal is to identify the trades for which these migrants are prepared and assign them jobs in those areas without changing their occupation. To coordinate these efforts, a working group has been scheduled between the private sector and the Government to detail the hiring mechanisms for repatriated individuals from the United States. The president of the CCE stated that a database from the Ministry of Labor would be used for this purpose.
