In a meeting at the Guanajuato-Chicago House, representatives from several municipalities in Guanajuato gathered to discuss the communities of Guanajuatenses residing in the north of the Rio Bravo, specifically in the Chicago-Dallas-Los Angeles corridor. According to official estimates, there are more than a million Guanajuatenses living in this area, most concentrated in these three main points.
Leaders of Guanajuatense Clubs in the Midwest had their first working table of the year 2025, addressing different topics related to the migrant community of Guanajuato in the United States. The meeting was called by the state Secretary of Human Rights and focused on three priorities: facilitating civil registry procedures, providing distance education through INAEBA, and relaunching the Mineros de Plata program, which is responsible for processing humanitarian visas for the elderly.
Regarding the specific points discussed in the meeting, the highlights include:
- Borderless procedures: The "digital kiosks" will be strengthened and maintained to print birth or marriage certificates in 15 minutes, an initiative that is already operational in Texas and Georgia. - Online education: INAEBA offered virtual tutoring to certify elementary and secondary education for migrants, aiming to graduate 200 people this year. - Family reunion: The relaunch of Mineros de Plata includes obtaining 300 humanitarian visas for parents who have not seen their children in the United States for more than ten years.
