**Expanded Support Programs for Deported Mexicans in Baja California**
Deported Mexicans returning to Baja California will now have improved access to federal support programs, including resources directly available within shelters. Alejandro Ruiz Uribe, the regional delegate for Federal Welfare Programs in Baja California, outlined the new initiatives after meeting with the Business Coordinating Council of Ensenada, led by Marco Antonio Estudillo Bernal.
Mexico’s government has been working to enhance the treatment of deported migrants by training officials based on experiences in cities such as Tijuana, Chihuahua, and Matamoros during the previous U.S. administration. Ruiz Uribe emphasized that shelters will now function as access points for several social programs, including “Jóvenes Construyendo el Futuro” (Youth Building the Future), pensions for seniors, and childcare support for mothers with young children.
“Every individual arriving at a shelter can enroll in these programs and receive benefits either on-site or back in their hometowns,” explained Ruiz Uribe.
**Efforts to Expand Welfare Access**
In addition to these initiatives, Ruiz Uribe mentioned plans to boost funding for welfare programs in Baja California, aiming to secure an additional 48 billion pesos to aid over 583,000 beneficiaries. Presently, more than 360,000 seniors in Baja California receive a pension of 6,200 pesos, and 30,000 working mothers receive childcare stipends.
With these efforts, the government is dedicated to providing comprehensive support to deportees and expanding welfare initiatives for vulnerable communities throughout the region.
