### Support Programs for Deported Mexicans Expanded in Baja California
Deported Mexicans returning to Baja California will now find enhanced support through federal initiatives, as announced by Alejandro Ruiz Uribe, the regional delegate for Federal Welfare Programs in the area. This development follows a strategic meeting with the Business Coordinating Council of Ensenada.
To better address the needs of deportees, officials have received comprehensive training, inspired by previous experiences in Tijuana, Chihuahua, and Matamoros under earlier U.S. policies. The Mexican government plans to use shelters as primary access points for various social programs. These include “Youth Building the Future” for young people, pensions for seniors, and childcare support for working mothers.
Ruiz Uribe emphasized that each individual arriving at a shelter will have the opportunity to enroll in these programs, gaining access to benefits either on the spot or back in their hometowns.
In addition, efforts are underway to secure an extra 48 billion pesos to enhance welfare programs in Baja California, aiming to aid over 583,000 beneficiaries. Currently, over 360,000 seniors receive a pension, while 30,000 mothers benefit from childcare assistance, underscoring the government’s commitment to bolstering support for vulnerable communities.
