go to original November 11, 2014

The Labor and Social Welfare Secretariat (STPS) said 11,000 Mexicans have benefited from the program “Repatriados trabajando” to date. The program helps to make the migrants’ return home to their places of origin easier and it offers training for deportees to open their own business or start working in the formal economy.

The program is coordinated with the National Employment Service, which helps those deported rejoin the workforce along the border. “Repatriados trabajando” also offers monetary support up to 1,500 pesos ($110) for the job search and up to 1,500 pesos for food expenses.

The deportees who have benefited from the program are from Tijuana and Mexicali, in Baja California; Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua; Nogales, Sonora; Ciudad Acuña and Piedras Negras, Coahuila; and Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa and Matamoros, in Tamaulipas.

The Undersecretary of Employment and Labor Productivity, Patricia Martínez Cranss, said that the program gives deportees support to return to their homes with secure transportation. It also offers them an orientation which connects them to different employment opportunities or gives them the training to employ themselves by their own means.
