Mexico has ceased to be a country that expels and has become one that now accompanies. This change is crucial in the face of a return that will continue to grow in the coming years, and that is why we, deputies, must do more to turn these programs into a state policy, a sustained one, and to make ever-better laws for our migrant brothers because the truth is clear, and the Congress of the Union must take firm steps.
The event was attended by the Commissioner of the National Institute of Migration, Sergio Salomón Céspedes; Deputy Maribel Solache; Deputy Alejandro Pérez Cuéllar, president of the Commission on Northern Border Affairs; Deputy Maiella Gómez, president of the Labor and Social Security Commission, and Deputy Eduardo Castillo; as well as the Ambassador of Morocco to Mexico, His Excellency Abdelfattah Lebbar.
And in this circular movement, Mexico found a deep truth: our migrants no longer return with empty hands, but return with the tools to transform the country, said Deputy Haces Barba.
The Morenista legislator stated that under the paradigm shift led by our President Claudia Sheinbaum and the head of the National Institute of Migration, the country has made decisive steps in programs such as "Mexico Embraces You," which has allowed thousands of repatriated people to receive immediate attention: healthcare, guidance, links to job opportunities, social accompaniment, and a chance to start a new life.
During his participation in the Legislative Forum for the Migrant Return Agenda, the deputy and coordinator of Political Operations of the Morena Parliamentary Group, Pedro Haces, said that "today Mexico is ready to receive our fellow migrants with dignity, with rights, and today Mexico is writing a chapter that for decades was thought impossible, a chapter of return. For nearly half a century, the conversation revolved around departure or the crossing of the American dream, but in the last decade, the country has seen nearly a million people return".
"Making it evident that Mexican migration is no longer just one-way, but now is a two-way street."
