The idea of the president of Mexico is resume the initiative of his predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who hosted a similar conference in October last year. This topic was part of the talk with Castro, who agreed, according to Sheinbaum: “It is important to continue that conference that took place in Palenque related to migration with various countries.”
The mass deportations promised by Trump
It is estimated that In the United States, around 11 million Mexicans live without documentationaccording to that country’s media outlet. Given this size, the Mexican government’s caution in the face of Trump’s promises to carry out mass deportations is inevitable.
If these promises by the president-elect of the United States come true, there would not only be a human impact, but also an economic one. The remittances sent to their country by Mexicans living there represent almost 4% of Mexico’s gross domestic product (GDP). In 2024 alone, an estimated record of US$65 billion would be received.
In this regard, on December 28, the president Sheinbaum sent a message to his compatriots: «Of course we are going to continue defending Mexican men and women in the United States, it is our responsibility, and In case there are deportations, we will prepare to welcome them».
