Summary
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum launched the “México te abraza” employment program to help citizens deported under Donald Trump reintegrate into the workforce.
In partnership with the Consejo Coordinador Empresarial, over 220 companies have posted 63,880 vacancies nationwide, surpassing a January pledge to create 50,000 jobs.
Roles span sectors like agriculture and construction, with salaries ranging from $424 to over $2,000 USD monthly. Key employers include Walmart, Grupo Bimbo, and CEMEX.
The initiative aims to provide “dignified, well-paying work” and leverage U.S. labor experience for Mexico’s economic benefit.
This is already backfiring among us mexicans, people are angry because she and her party have scared away jobs with their law breaking policies, negligence and nepotism, so magically now she swears to create jobs for those who left the country… What about the rest of the country?
Besides she can say whatever she wants, until those jobs are created and turn out to actually be decent ones, this is just populism.
Has unemployment risen? I looked at some numbers and it looks really low over the last few years. Not a Mexican.
Yeah, I swear people on Lemmy love Sheinbaum, but they are not Mexican, so of course they don’t know the whole picture.
And they don’t care, they love their populists who claim to be leftists and will keep posting their propaganda.
It’s no different from reading propaganda in Reddit and everyone clapping as if it were true.
I’m not seeing anything in that article that indicates these jobs have to be for people who are returning to the country. They seem to be open for anybody. So if you want one of them go get one. Also I point out that these people are citizens so what are you mad about exactly?
I’m horrified by what my government is doing right now, but if one of the side effects is that Mexico experiences an economic renaissance as a result of our idiotic racially-motivated isolationism… well, that is genuinely one hell of a silver lining.
Yeah, I’m with you. This is going to suck for the Americans who fought against the rise of fascism, but it is good for the rest of the world that we’re not at the helm anymore.
Excellent points here. Thank you for sharing.
I’m wondering if it might suck - possibly harder - for those who voted for fascism.
Oh, most definitely in a general sense. The difference here is that they’re believers.
They’re willing to go through pain, agony, and the death of themselves or their loved ones, if they feel like they’re in the “moral right” here with their religion.
Religion (the Abrahamic ones especially) are largely based on fascism at its core. After all, why would you question God? Why would a woman question the man of the house? Why would you question the Pope? Etc.
So, objectively, things will get very bad for them, but they will weather it better than those that are fighting fascists.
