Nuevo León seeks to advance laws for migrants

In Nuevo León, the political forces of the commission express their will and readiness to approve a Law on human mobility in the state. Currently, this region lacks legislation addressing this issue, making it difficult to develop budgets and visualize the national migration problem, exacerbated by geopolitical factors with the United States.

The lack of governmental coordination in Nuevo León and political conflicts have hindered adequate attention to migration. In response to pressures from Donald Trump, the federal government has implemented the "Mexico Embraces You" program to protect returned persons and ensure their safety in the country.

In this context, it is essential for local governments to collaborate closely and strengthen coordination with civil society organizations that provide support to migrants and refugees in the region. Despite tensions with the United States, it is important to maintain a humanitarian stance and work together to face the challenges posed by migration.

The aim is for the industry in Nuevo León to play a key role in the integration of migrants and boosting regional economic growth. Deputy Grecia Benavides highlights the need to legislate to strategically regulate and budget immigration-related actions.

It is crucial to establish protection and reception measures for people in migration situations. Therefore, it is important to ensure coordination among the different powers of the state to effectively address this issue and prevent humanitarian crises.
